What is a2 Milk™?

a2 Milk™ is cows' milk in which the content of a natural protein, beta-casein A2, has been naturally maximised. This is achieved by taking milk only from those cows that naturally produce milk containing the A2 beta-casein type, and not from cows whose milk contains other beta-casein variants.

The A2 type is regarded by many studies as the original form of bovine beta-casein as consumed by humans thousands of years ago. Through natural genetic mutation over the millennia other variant beta-casein types evolved from the original type, A2. The milk from certified A2 cows is referred to as 'a2 Milk™'.

a2 Milk™ has been available in Australia and New Zealand since early 2003, and numerous unsolicited reports have been received since then from families who believe it to have had a markedly positive effect. Of particular interest are reports from parents who have observed and reported remarkable improvements in their children's quality of life following a switch to a2 Milk™.
