Let's explore what makes Goat Milk the better milk
GENTLE PROTIEN | Proteins are essential for a baby’s growth, serving as the building blocks for muscles, tissues, and organs. Compared to cow’s milk, goat milk proteins form a smaller, softer, and looser curd in the tummy, making digestion quicker and easier. |
GOOD FATS | The fats in goat milk are also naturally easy to digest. They are smaller than cow milk fats and rich in beneficial short and medium chain fatty acids. |
HEALTHY PREBIOTICS | Oligosaccharides nourish beneficial gut bacteria, supporting a healthy digestive system and strengthening the immune system. Goat milk naturally contains 6 times more prebiotic oligosaccharides than cow’s milk. |
NATURALLY NUTRITIOUS | Goat milk is rich in critical nutrients. Compared to cow milk, it has shown superior mineral bioavailability. |

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, lactose intolerance is uncommon under 2-3 years of age. Lactose intolerance should be assessed and diagnosed by a healthcare provider.
