Why a2 Milk™?

For a long time dairy milk has been regarded as nature’s perfect food, providing an important source of nutrients, including protein, carbohydrates and essential minerals and vitamins to man. Over time a greater understanding of the components contained in milk and their relationship to human health and well being has been gained, resulting in a range of milk to suit a wide variety of consumer needs.

Today we have the choice of milks that contain a range of fat levels or have been fortified with desirable nutrients such as omega fatty acids, calcium and vitamins. We offer a2 Milk™ to the consumer, milk in which the levels of the specific protein, A2 beta casein, has been naturally maximised to deliver an alternative choice in milk for the discerning consumer.

Numerous studies on the variants of beta casein suggest that milk containing only the A2 type may provide further benefits to some people. These benefits include those relating to heart health, digestive function and some intolerances and are the focus of studies by international research groups. Links to a summary of the outcomes of such studies, as well as to the studies themselves, can be found here.
