After making headlines around the world, a2 Milk™ has
finally arrived in Canada. This 100% Canadian milk is easier on digestion –
published research suggests a2 Milk™ may help some avoid digestive discomfort.
a2 Milk™ Starts with A2 Cows.
a2 Milk™ carries all the nutritional qualities of regular fresh milk with one
important difference; most cows’ milk on grocery store shelves in Canada
contains a mix of both A1 and A2 protein types. a2 Milk™ comes from cows
that naturally produce milk with only the A2 protein type, or put the other
way, doesn’t contain the A1 protein type.
Why Does Protein Type Matter?
Many Canadians assume they are lactose intolerant if they have discomfort after
drinking milk, even without being tested to get a confirmed diagnosis. As a
result, the term “lactose intolerance” has become a blanket term often used for
symptoms which could be caused by a number of factors, including an A1 protein
intolerance.
Because symptoms often disappear when you eliminate milk products from your
diet, many people simply decide to cut out dairy and – along with it – many of
the valuable nutrients that are found therein.
Many people who try a2 milk™ say they can feel the difference; that it’s easier
on digestion and helps avoid the discomfort they sometimes feel when drinking
milk.
