Organic A2/A2 Grass-Fed Milk
What is Organic A2/A2 Grass-Fed Milk?
Organic A2/A2 Grass-Fed Milk comes from cows that produce milk containing only A2 type beta-casein protein, unlike regular milk which contains both A1 and A2 proteins. It is produced from cows that are fed a grass-based diet, and often reared under organic farming standards.
It is used as a dairy ingredient in foods and beverages for those who may experience discomfort with regular milk due to the presence of A1 protein. Some studies suggest potential digestive benefits of A2 milk over conventional milk, but evidence is mixed and more research is needed.
When you see Organic A2/A2 Grass-Fed Milk on a label, it indicates a focus on organic farming practices and a specific protein makeup in milk, which may cater to specific dietary preferences or tolerance levels.
Commonly found in: milk beverages, yogurt, cheese, butter, ice cream
Benefits
- May aid digestion for individuals sensitive to A1 protein.
A2 milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) like other dairy products.
Research into the benefits of A2 protein is ongoing, with mixed findings on its digestive benefits.
Organic A2/A2 Grass-Fed Milk is animal-derived and not considered vegan.
Scout's take
Whole milk from 100% grass-fed cows producing only A2 beta-casein. Grass-fed milk is higher in omega-3s, CLA, and fat-soluble vitamins than conventional milk, and the A2/A2 protein profile is generally easier to digest. Organic standards prohibit synthetic hormones and GMO feed.
