What is A2 Milk (Gir Cow milk)? 

Desi cow breeds or Gir cows generate the majority of A2 cow milk in India. The presence of the A2 protein in milk of Indigenous/Indian Breed cows (e.g., Gir cows / Rathi cows) distinguishes it from milk from other breeds. The distinction between A2 milk and A1 milk is not merely a matter of naming but there different chemical constituents of the milk due to different cow breeds. The milk from other breeds contains A1 protein, which is found in hybrid or cross breeds and lacks most nutrients found in A2 milk. Jersey cows and other crossbred cows produce A1 milk, which comes from cows of European heritage. There is a significant variation in how our bodies digest the two.

Casein and whey are the two proteins found in cow’s milk, providing 80% and 20% of the total protein composition respectively. Three types of casein present in cow’s milk are Alpha casein, kappa casein and beta casein. A1 and A2 are two different types of beta casein. BCM-7, an opioid peptide (which is another element released after the digestion of A1 milk protein) has negative health consequences in some persons since it is poorly absorbed by the body. 

Since the early 2000s, A2 milk has been consumed globally. However, it only became popular in India a few years ago, and it is promoted mostly for its health benefits. However, in comparison to A2 milk, A1 milk is widely produced and sold in India because of high yielding cross breeds.

Nutrition Information of A2 Cow Milk

A2 milk is the original form of milk, and is identical to human mother’s milk, whereas A1 milk, which differs only by one amino acid, is difficult for many to digest. According to studies, long-term use of A1 milk might lead to cholesterol build-up and potentially Type 1 Diabetes. There have also been correlations to neurological disorders and autism in rare circumstances. A2 milk, on the other hand, is regarded as the elixir of life due to its great nutritional value. It has proteins that our bodies can’t make on their own. As a result, we must receive it through our diet. Either directly or indirectly through the intake of relevant milk products.

Is A2 Milk Easier to Digest?

The debate over A1 vs. A2 milk has raged on for years among dairy consumers. However, you may have also heard that organic A2 milk, as compared to A1 or other milk, is easier to digest and even good for lactose intolerant persons. That is somewhat true, according to scientific study.

Digestion enzymes in our stomach are unable to break A2 beta-casein when we consume organic A2 milk, so the peptide fragment BCM-7 is not generated. Since A2 beta-casein is easier to digest and therefore Lactose intolerant persons don’t have to give up dairy.

If you are milk intolerant and would like to understand the responsiveness to A2 milk, go dairy-free for a month to clear your system of casein. Then try A2 and pay attention to any symptoms you might have — after consuming the A2 cow milk.
