What is A2 Milk and Why It Matters?

May 10, 2025

When you pour a glass of milk, it may look the same — but not all milk is created equal. One type is quietly revolutionizing the dairy world with its superior digestibility and health benefits: A2 milk.

At CattleCo, we believe in delivering milk that’s not just pure, but purposefully better. Our milk comes from indigenous Indian cows like Sahiwal and Gir, who naturally produce A2 protein. But what does that mean — and why should you care?


🧬 Understanding the Difference: A1 vs A2

Milk contains a protein called beta-casein, which exists in two main forms: A1 and A2. The key difference lies in the structure:

  • A1 Protein: Common in milk from crossbred or foreign cow breeds. Linked to digestive discomfort in some people.
  • A2 Protein: Naturally found in Sahiwal and Gir cows, this form is closer to the beta-casein in human milk, making it easier for the body to process.

Many people who experience bloating or uneasiness after consuming regular milk find A2 milk much gentler on the stomach.


🥛 Why A2 Milk Matters

Here’s why A2 milk is becoming the preferred choice for health-conscious families:

Easier to Digest

Since A2 milk lacks the A1 protein, it may reduce common issues like bloating, gas, and abdominal discomfort, especially in people with milk sensitivity.

Closer to Human Milk

The A2 beta-casein protein mimics the one found in human milk, making it nutritionally compatible, especially for children and the elderly.

Free from Additives

When sourced from ethical farms like CattleCo, A2 milk is also free from antibiotics, synthetic hormones, and GMOs.

Rich in Natural Nutrients

A2 milk is a natural source of:

  • Calcium for strong bones
  • Protein for growth and repair
  • Vitamin B12 for energy and brain function
  • Omega-3 fatty acids for heart health

🐄 Where Does A2 Milk Come From?
