FAQ’s
What is a2 Milk®?
a2 Milk® is pure and natural dairy milk. But unlike ordinary dairy milk, a2 Milk® is sourced from cows that that have been genetically tested to confirm that they naturally produce only A2-type protein milk. As a result, a2 Milk® has all of the goodness of dairy milk, but is naturally A1 protein free.
What is beta-casein protein?
Dairy milk contains two main groups of proteins: casein and whey. Beta-casein is a form of casein protein typically making up about 30% of the total protein content. Whilst there are at least 12 genetic variants of beta-casein in cows’ milk they can all be divided into two main types: A1 and A2-type based on their structure and subsequent digestion.
Why are there different beta-casein protein types?
A2 protein is recognised as the original variant of beta-casein protein in domesticated cattle from which A1 protein and other beta-casein protein types subsequently arose through genetic mutation, a natural process which can lead to small differences (such as hair and eye colour in humans), and over time drives evolution.
