Why Choose Goat Milk Ingredients

The use of goat milk has multiple benefits.

Goat milk has a unique protein composition which are easy to digest by the body, less allergenic and can offer digestive comfort.

The protein in goat milk are of high quality:  it contains high levels of essential amino acids including Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA), important for muscle building and recovery.

Goat milk contains only A2 β-casein, a key factor in its natural ease of digestion and ability to provide digestive comfort. In contrast, conventional cow’s milk contains a mix of A1 and A2 β-casein, and the presence of A1 β-casein has been linked to potential disturbances in the body. Another reason for goat milk’s superior digestibility is that its casein proteins form softer, looser curds in the stomach, making them easier to break down.

Besides there are indications that Goat whey, particularly β-lactoglobulin, is also more easily digested than cow’s whey.

Moreover, goat milk is less allergenic than cow milk, making it a preferred choice for consumers sensitive to cow milk *who seek a gentler, better-tolerated alternative.

Why Goat Milk?

Goat milk offers a range of natural health benefits that make it a desirable alternative to cow milk. It is less allergenic and better tolerated, with proteins and fats that are easier to digest, providing digestive comfort. The milk has a unique fat profile rich in medium-chain fatty acids (MCT ) and naturally contains A2 β-casein. It is also high in essential amino acids (EAA) and branched-chain amino acids (BCAA), important for muscle building.

Additionally,goat milk is naturally rich in prebiotic oligosaccharides, which can help promoting gut health, and contains anti-inflammatory properties that help support immunity. It provides a good source of calcium and vitamins A and D, all while offering a mild taste, making it a nutritious and gentle option for people of all ages.
