goat milk benefits

Goat milk is now gaining popularity in the US – for both people and our pets!

1. Easier to digest

While goat milk and cow milk have similar fat content, the fat globules in goat milk are smaller and easier to digest. Goat milk is also lower in lactose than cow milk. It can take hours to digest cow milk while your body can digest goat milk in just 20 minutes!

2. Fewer allergenic proteins

Cow milk contains over 20 different allergens that affect everything from IBS, to acne, to auto-immune diseases.  Goat milk contains only A2 casein making it, protein-wise, the closest milk to human breast milk.

3. High in calcium

Goat milk contains around 33% of your recommended daily allowance of calcium.

4. Improves your skin

The fatty acids and triglycerides found in goat milk have moisturizing qualities and help keep skin soft.  Goat milk contains lactic acid which helps remove dead skin cells from your skin’s surface, leaving new cells that are smoother and younger looking. Goat milk contains many vitamins, but particularly Vitamin A. Products with Vitamin A can reduce lines and wrinkles, control acne, and even provide some psoriasis relief.

5. Pet super food

Goat milk has a unique makeup that allows it to be used successfully for a variety of animals and health issues. Goat milk is often used in formulas for bottle feeding orphaned puppies. The new trends are geared towards adult dogs, as well. Goat milk is high in proteins, vitamins, and probiotics.

The American Journal of Medicine claims that goat milk is “the most complete food known.”

Goat milk contains naturally occurring vitamins, electrolytes, protein, fatty acids, and trace minerals that are easily absorbed by the body. It is not only nutritious, but also palatable!
