A2 Milk

Casein is the largest group of proteins in mammal milk, making up about 80% of the total protein content. There are multiple forms of casein in milk, including beta-casein, which is the most common. Beta-casein also comes in several different forms, among which are A1 beta-casein and A2 beta-casein.

The two beta-casein proteins are almost identical, each containing 209 amino acids, the building blocks of any protein. The only difference between A1 and A2 protein chains is in the 67th amino acid.

It is in this position that we find that A1 has a histidine amino acid, while A2 has a proline amino acid. Here, at amino acid 6, is where science believes that milk protein sensitive and intolerance problems may begin.

That one amino acid change means when the A1 protein is broken down, it can create the peptide BCM-7 which has been shown to have effects on digestive system function and cause inflammation of the gut. However, the proline found in A2 milk prevents BCM 7 from reaching our body.

X Put in very simple terms-BCM 7 is an opioid peptide, a small receptor. Unfortunately, this little piece of the beta-casein protein does not digest after being absorbed into the body. This often can lead to big problems such as indigestion, inflammation, and digestive distress.

In A2 milk, the proline amino acid in the chain prevents BCM 7 from being absorbed into our body, easing digestion and tummies.

A1 cows do not make proline, so BCM 7 is left to wreak havoc with digestive health until it dissolves in the blood.

A1 beta casein derived BCM-7 is linked in the gut to:

X delay in gut transit, mucous production, and thickening

X increased inflammatory activity of colonic cells

X triggering histamine release in mast/immune cell

For babies who are lactose intolerant or have a milk sensitivity, milk protein is often the culprit.

Recent studies have pointed specifically to the A1 beta-casein protein as being the main cause of discomfort, inflammation, and digestive worries.

The good news is that future study has shown that when there are lactose concerns, infants who drink A2 only milk, such as goat milk, report no abdominal discomfort or other signs of intolerance.

Goat Milk

Infants that have an A1 beta-casein protein intolerance can greatly benefit from goat milk baby formula. Goat milk is among the group of mammal milks that contains only the A2 beta-casein protein.

Cow Milk

A2 Infant cow's milk formula has the same protein and structure of A1 cow's milk baby formula, but eliminates the proline beta-casein protein that can cause digestive problems.

With the strict guidelines and regulation set by the EU, the predominance of A2 milk protein is just one of the many advantages of our baby formulas.

European goat milk baby formula and Demeter certified skim-milk based A2 provides critical nutrients similar to breast milk, lends digestive and immune system support, and has lower environmental impact than regular cow's milk based baby formula.
