a2 Milk: The Healthier Alternative at Coles
Introduction
In the world of dairy, a new star has emerged: a2 milk. This special type of milk comes from cows that naturally produce only the A2 beta-casein protein, making it potentially more digestible and gentler on the stomach compared to conventional milk.
The A2 Beta-Casein Protein
Milk contains two main types of beta-casein proteins: A1 and A2. Conventional milk from most dairy cows contains both A1 and A2 proteins. However, a2 milk comes from cows that have been selectively bred to produce only the A2 protein.
Potential Benefits of a2 Milk
There is growing scientific evidence suggesting that a2 milk may have several potential health benefits, including:
Improved Digestion
Studies have found that a2 milk may be easier to digest for those who experience discomfort after consuming conventional milk. This is because the A2 beta-casein protein is more similar to the protein found in human milk, making it potentially more recognizable and less likely to cause digestive issues.
Reduced Inflammation
Some research suggests that a2 milk may have anti-inflammatory properties. The A2 beta-casein protein has been shown to have lower levels of inflammatory markers compared to the A1 beta-casein protein.
Heart Health
Studies have indicated that a2 milk may improve heart health. The A2 beta-casein protein has been shown to have lower levels of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, which is a type of cholesterol that can contribute to plaque buildup in arteries.
Other Potential Benefits
In addition to the above benefits, a2 milk may also provide a source of:
- High-quality protein
- Calcium
- Vitamin D
- Riboflavin (vitamin B2)

- a2 milk contains only the A2 beta-casein protein, while regular milk contains both A1 and A2 proteins.
