The Science
Milk is made up of a variety of beneficial proteins. Most milk contains both A1 and A2proteins which are digested differently. While many people are able to digest all varieties of milk proteins, research has found A2 proteins easier for some people to digest. If you experience discomfort when consuming traditional dairy, you may find our "Just A2" milk, yogurt & cheese a more agreeable option.
The History
Originally cows genetically produced milk containing only A2 proteins.
About 5,000 years ago genetics began to change, and today Holstein cows produce milk with both A1 & A2 proteins.
Since most milk marketed in the US today is pooled, it contains a mix of A1 and A2 proteins. On our farm we have DNA tested and isolated a special group of about 250 cows that naturally produce only the A2 protein. From them we bring you "Just A2" Milk, Yogurt and Cheese. Protein for Simple Digestion.
The difference between A1 & A2 Protein
Amino Acids are the building blocks of protein. The amino acid chains of A1 & A2 Beta Caesins differ only in the 67th position.
