Why you should switch to Farm Fresh A2 Milk?

Drinking milk has been a cultural practice for a long time. Even today in most households, it is a ritual to start the day with a glass of milk. However, there has been a shift in our milk consumption patterns and the type of milk with many alternative sources of milk available today that do not involve animals like soy, coconut, almond, flax, rice, and hemp.

Even with so many options available, animal milk is considered a complete food because it contains proteins, high levels of calcium, vitamin B12, riboflavin, and phosphorous.

This article provides an overview of what is A2 milk, how it is different from regular milk, its possible health benefits, and why you should make a switch to farm-fresh A2 milk.

What is A2 Milk?

Milk is a good source of protein, containing 8 grams (g) per 8-ounce (oz) glass. However, in India, most consumption is A1 milk, which isn’t too healthy.

There are two major proteins in milk – casein and whey. Casein accounts for around 80% of the protein in milk. There are also various types of casein, one of which is called beta-casein. A1 and A2 are the two variants of beta-casein. Today, the milk available from the local grocery store contains mostly A1 proteins.

When A1 protein is digested, it produces a peptide called beta-casomorphin-7 (BCM-7). Doctors link BCM-7 to stomach discomfort and symptoms which are similar to those experienced by people with lactose intolerance.

Recently, a new type of milk has gained popularity in dairy aisles. This product, called A2 milk is easier to digest and absorb than other types of milk. The A2 beta-casein protein present in A2 Milk breaks down into amino acids for quick digestion, which results in improving our overall health.

But why farm fresh A2 milk After all?

To say the least, A2 is the purest form of milk and has the original protein that is present in cows or buffalos. A2 milk is produced from the cows and buffaloes which are nurtured well with fresh fodder, and clean water, and are kept under vet’s surveillance. No growth hormones or antibiotics are given to increase the output of milk.

Every step is pure and natural, and thus, safe for consumption by everyone in the family.

However, there are still challenges that persist when we talk about the production of quality A2 milk.

They are well taken care of by a 24*7 Vet and vaccinated to live a disease-free life.

  • The feed and the fodder

The cows and buffalo at Farm Crème are fed the highest quality of fodder, specially prepared for them at the farm itself. The feed comprises a certain proportion of barley, cotton cake, soya, chana miller, wheat miller, maize, and green fodder, ensuring all the proteins, and vitamins these animals would need.

Ask Me Anything: 5 Answers to Your Questions About A2 Milk

 

Recently, a new type of cow’s milk has caught the attention of both consumers and scientists. This type is called A2 cow milk. The reason behind this is that A1 and A2 proteins affect the body very differently.

A2 certified milk is easier to absorb and digest than other types of milk, more specifically A1 milk. This blog attempts to answer some of the prominent questions around A2  certified Milk, its possible health benefits, and how it is different from the A1 milk type.

  • What Do A1 and A2 Milk Mean?

Not all milk is equal!

Today it has become even more important to know the distinction when we’re trying all ways and means to include all important nutrients and proteins in our diet. This article highlights an objective distinction between A1 and A2  certified milk. As per studies, Casein protein covers 80% of total protein in milk and the other is beta protein. A1 and A2 are two genetic types of beta-casein milk protein. Hence, basis the beta-casein, milk has 2 variants namely A1 milk and A2 milk.

 

  • Which animal produces A2 milk?

Cows or Buffaloes that produce both A1 & A2 beta-casein protein are called A1 animals, and animals that only produce A2 beta-casein are called A2 animals. A1 and A2 casein could be found in both desi and hybrid breeds but one can be sure only via the genetic study of a particular animal. You will find many brands claiming in the market to be A2 milk producers, however, we can’t be sure of this as they might not even rear their Cows and Buffaloes. Only a few A2-certified milk brands are present in India which have their farm.

 

  • Who should drink A2 milk?

If you are wondering why some people are unable to digest milk, this might answer your question?

When A1 protein is broken down, it creates a protein fragment called beta-casomorphin-7 (BCM-7), which is believed to cause dairy digestive discomfort. When A2  certified Milk is broken down, there is no BCM-7 produced. The taste of A2 Cow/ Buffalo Milk is the same as that of the regular milk and contains the same amount of lactose, we all grew up consuming. However, A2 beta-casein milk contains only the A2 protein, which helps minimize stomach irritation in people. So, if you’re lactose intolerant or milk protein sensitive, A2 is your go-to!

 

  • Why should we drink A2 milk?

To be very specific of the health benefits of A2 certified milk, It is rich in protein, which is an essential building block of muscle tissue, skin, and blood. A2 certified milk contains omega-3 fatty acids, which helps a great deal in lowering our cholesterol levels and therefore, helps keep our blood pressure levels healthy and reduces the risk of heart disease or stroke. Other than that, A2 certified  milk is also a rich source of:

 

  • How do I test if milk is A1 or A2 certified milk at home?

It is quite difficult to differentiate between A1 or A2  certified milk at home unless you are a REAL connoisseur or experienced in dairy products. The only differentiating factor between the two types of milk is the presence of A2 type beta-casein or amino acid which can be identified via lab tests or highly complicated analytical methods. Hence, to be sure of A2-certified milk you must ensure that the milk you are consuming is A2 certified.
