a2 milk

A1 protein digests differently to A2 protein and has been linked with a range of symptoms associated with digestive function including bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhoea and/or constipation. Hence a2 Milk is a natural answer to a question of A1 milk protein intolerance.
Cows’ milk contains different types of protein, one group of which are caseins - the main types of the beta-casein fraction are A2 and A1.
The A2 form of beta-casein has been identified by scientific research as the original form of beta-casein that would have been produced by cows thousands of years ago.
Over the years a natural genetic variance occurred in European dairy herds, resulting in a variation of the A2 gene called A1 beta-casein - today most dairy milk contains a mixture of A1 and A2 beta-casein protein.
However, some dairy cows still only produce the A2 type of beta-casein and these can be identified and milked to produce a2 Milk - dairy milk as perhaps nature intended.
