Not All Milk Protein Are the Same: A2 Milk Protein’s Origin & its benefits

Growing up milk plays an important role in a child’s nutrition. It is full of essential nutrients and one of the best food choices to complement a child's diet to promote healthy growth and development. But here is a fun fact for you, mummies: Not all milk is the same! In case you were previously unaware, not all cows produce milk with the same kinds of nutrients. In fact, depending on the cow source, certain important nutrients in milk, especially milk's primary protein (also known as beta-casein), vary on its structural level. A2 Protein: The Original Form of Milk Protein Prior to Genetic Mutations in Cows Back in the day, before animal domestication was introduced, cows only produced A2 beta-casein protein, which is easier to digest and possesses many health benefits for humans. However, farming practices and natural genetic mutation occurred which then led to the production of a combination of A1 beta-casein protein and A2 beta-casein protein in certain cow breeds which are now commonly found in most regular cow's milk.
