Milk, a powerhouse of nutrients sourced from healthy cows grazing on healthy soil, stands out as a nutrient-dense superfood. It’s packed with essential elements like calcium, magnesium, phosphate, B vitamins, Vitamin D, iodine, potassium, healthy fats, amino acids, energy from lactose, and high-quality protein. Milk proteins are composed of whey (20%) and casein (80%), both crucial for amino acid absorption, muscle building, and repair within the body.
The beta-casein protein in cow’s milk exists in two primary forms today: A2 beta-casein and A1 beta-casein. Originally, cow’s milk contained only the A2 beta-casein protein (A2/A2), remarkably similar to the main protein in human milk. This makes A2 beta-casein naturally compatible with the human digestive system and easily absorbed.
However, over time, the protein composition of cow’s milk evolved. A genetic mutation led to the emergence of the A1 beta-casein variant. Consequently, most commercially available cow’s milk now contains a mix of both A1 and A2 beta-casein (A2/A1). Unfortunately, A1 beta-casein can pose digestive challenges for some individuals and has been linked to inflammation, gut discomfort, and various other health concerns.
Recognizing this issue, Blake and Stephanie Alexandre sought a solution to eliminate the A1 beta-casein variant from their cattle herd. This vision led to the creation of Alexandre Family Farm. Today, their farm boasts 100% A2/A2 cows, producing organic milk completely free of the A1 beta-casein mutation.
Thanks to Alexandre Family Farm and their dedication to A2/A2 organic milk, countless individuals are rediscovering the joy of dairy consumption. Joining thousands of satisfied customers, they appreciate not only the exceptional taste of the milk but also the sustainable farming practices employed by Alexandre Family Farm that contribute to Earth’s regeneration.
