Why A2 Dairy?

A2/A2 dairy, also referred to as 100% A2 dairy, distinguished by its content of only the A2 beta-casein protein, is not just real dairy but also a more digestible alternative to typical A1 dairy.
With over half the population experiencing digestive discomfort from A1 dairy, the shift to 100% A2 is significant.
This discomfort is largely due to the presence of A1 beta-casein protein, which became predominant due to a gene mutation in cows thousands of years ago.

Why A2 over A1?
The main difference between A1 and A2 dairy lies in their impact on digestion. A1 dairy releases BCM-7 (beta-casomorphin-7), an opioid peptide that can cause gut inflammation, slow digestion, and impact bowel function, potentially affecting the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems.
A2/A2 dairy, however, lacks BCM-7, offering a smoother digestive experience.

This makes A2/A2 dairy a viable option for those with dairy sensitivity, allowing many to finally enjoy dairy products without discomfort.

History of the
A1 Gene Mutation
A1 Gene Mutation
Casein, which constitutes about 80% of a cow's milk protein, comes in two main varieties: A1 and A2 beta-casein. The prevalence of A1 beta-casein today is the result of a single-gene mutation in cows occurring thousands of years ago, initially in Holsteins before spreading to other breeds.
Unfortunately, especially in the United States, cows containing A1 beta-casein were selected for commercial breeding, leading to the current dominance of A1 dairy in the market.
