All milk is made up of water and solids. The solid components within milk are:
- Lactose (milk sugar)
- Fat
- Minerals
- Protein
Casein is the main protein found in milk, and the type of casein present is what sets a2 Milk™ apart from ordinary cows' milk.
There are two types of beta-casein: A1 and A2. Most cows’ milk available on grocery store shelves contains a combination of these A1 and A2 beta-casein proteins. a2 Milk™ comes from cows that only produce the A2 protein and no A1.
The case for a2 Milk™
The difference between A1 protein and A2 protein is very small, but the tiny variance may make a big difference in the way the protein is digested. Published research suggests that some people may avoid stomach discomfort when they drink milk with only the A2 protein.
