A2 Milk vs Traditional Cow's Milk: Unveiling the Differences and Health Benefits
Ғылым және технология
Have you seen A2 milk in your grocery store?!
A2 milk is still cow's milk, but has a different protein profile that's easier to digest.
While conventional milk contains both A1 and A2 beta-casein, A2 milk only contains only A2 beta-casein.
That's because A1 beta-casein has recently been linked to the discomfort many people experience when consuming milk products like gastrointestinal dysfunction, inflammation, and longer GI transit times.
So, if you've ever had problem digesting milk, check out A2 milk!

I heard about A2 milk a couple times before but now that I’m attempting Fertility Awareness, A2 milk was one of the helpful whole fats mentioned to help out women that were struggling with fertility. I think this is my choice milk now.
This video was great! i just bought this product by mistake as well good to know its beneficial!
Wow, this is even better than Dr. Bergs video on A2 milk.

my first experience with a2 milk came when i moved to australia. honestly a lot of the milk at the grocery store has a funky smell, idk if it's because of the cow's diet or the temperature that milk is stored at here or what. i gravitated to a2 milk because it's the nearest to what i remember, it has a very neutral taste which i like.

What part of the milk creates allergies? Is there any biodome bacteria that can protect from the inflation? Is there any non-prescription supplement that can help cancel the allergies? I do not have abdominal issues. I get intense sinus and lung inflammation which lasts about 1 month. Other than casein is there anything else that can cause issues?
Best explanation about A2 milk I ever heard.

Better than Lactose-free milk?
A few years ago I found milk gave me serious arthritis. I could cope with pure cream and butter but not milk. As soon as I gave up milk my arthritis disappeared completely. I can't eat cheeses either.
So what's the difference between A2 milk and normal glucose intolerance milk? You can find both at Store shelves.

So, lactose-free milk has the sugar lactose removed because some people don't have the enzyme required to digest lactose. A2 milk has a protein removed that some people might be sensitive to. Hope that helps!
Since cutting out cow dairy, my periods have become shorter, lighter, and pain free! I'm going to try A2 dairy and see if my periods remain good.
Lots of sugar in this milk, I wish I was able to use it as an alternative for my kiddos but I found some A2 grass fed milk online by serenity kids.
It's great that they're coming out with a2. However I would love to see it in raw milk form or with the cream on top non homogenized form. Which I used to be able to get at whole foods but I think it was A1 milk before covid since Cobra came out that good milk on top or cream on top homogenized milk has been unavailable. The same thing goes with Amish butter unsalted. And several other items have been gone since covid started.

I've had my first taste of A2 Milik here in Odisha, India. Looks light brown in colour and is slightly different in taste than the general Cow's Milk....but it's tasty! But, I am sure , it'll never be as popular as the low-priced general Milk. A2 Milk cost 155% more than the low-priced Milk. Interestingly, A2 Milk was not advertised in my City at all. I happened to notice a plastic Bottle with the label A2 Milk, in a Freezer of a small shop and just bought it out of Curiosity. LOL!

I like casomorphins. I like the feeling of milk tiredness. That's what it is. It makes casein better for taking before you sleep to keep protein levels high, and helps you rest to make the protein synthesis more effective. The slow breakdown of casein and the casomorphins work for a reason.

Now, don't go derailing people's understanding about this situation. Before A1 milk (a pretty "recent" genetic mutation) most mammal's milk used by man were A2A2, even our own mother's milk (human milk) is A2A2. When you hear someone saying he/she can't have 'dairy' because of the lactose, think again! It could be a statement very far from the thruth, even if it's coming from a doctor. The consumption of A2A2 milk (from trusted producer) will make a big difference in the lives of a lot of people that loves dairy and is unable to enjoy it due to the claim that they have "lactose intolerance" or "milk allergy" (due to caseine). I recomend these people to try A2A2 milk,... and if it works, perfect! Remember that one can produce cheese, butter and everything else that's made with "regular" A1 milk, with A2!

Most of the cows in India produce a2 milk, but they need to have their casein genetics tested to be certain. Grass fed is good, but has nothing to do with the casein protein. The Holstein breed are most likely to have the a1.
I am also now trying to purchase goat milk here in europe(I think its a2 by nature and they do not print a2 on carton) and I know for the fact wrestlers in asia drink 2 to 3 liters of a2 fresh raw milk and they grow really big on that only. I used to drink a1 chocolate milk but slowly I started seeing red rashes after few hrs of drinking 200ml cup. Now I will try a2 hope its better digested

I'm guessing it's A LOT MORE expensive than regular milk?
According to Dr. Paul Saladino, when milk is homogenized and ultra-pasteurized, it destroys many of the helpful enzymes. And while I’m in the process of switching from A1 to A2, I see that the store-bought A2 is ultra-pasteurized. What gives? Too bad raw milk is so hard to find-and then when you do, it’s likely very $$$$.

Lactase pills only work if the sugar named lactose is the problem for her. This milk will help if the A1 protein is what's bothering her. You could also look into other hydrolysed milk products which chop up the proteins into smaller molecules that don't trigger an allergic response as easily.

I'm a huuuuuuge milk fanatic!!! And I've tried everything from grass fed, organic, local non-pasteurized, ultra filtered, pasteurized, goat milk, skim milk, 1%, 2%, homo milk, whole milk, etc.... and I must say, this brand (the red carton or the 3.25%) has been the best tasting milk I've had in my life!! Believe me I consume about 1.5 L of milk a day and this is by far my favorite! Loved your video! :) My review: I've tried both the blue carton (2%) and the red carton (3.25%) and I think I prefer the 3.25%.... the taste is very different including the smell... something that I don't really notice between other brands that much. I usually get a feeling of my stomach kicking after drinking milk, but with this brand I noticed I don't get gassy or any irritability in my bowels. The taste is also similar to ultra pasteurized milk (the ones that can be left outside before opening) I'm not sure if this one can be left outside that way since it's always sold in the fridge isles. On the box it says it's pasteurized and needs to be kept in the fridge. The only other milk in my area that rivals this one (in taste) is Lactantia, which is pasteurized at extremely high temperatures killing bacteria and extending the shelf life.

If the body can't "cut up" the A2 beta casein protein, then does that mean the body can't digest the protein? This would make me think that for people who don't have a negative reaction to A1 milk that A1 offers them better nutrition than A2, and that A2 milk shouldn't necessarily be a replacement for everyone who drinks milk.
