The natural goodness of Goat Milk
The benefits of Goat Milk vs. Cow Milk
Goat milk has always been a bit of a trade secret among moms and is known for its naturally easy to digest properties. Kabrita hasharnessed the gentle benefits of goat milk into our line of Goat Milk foods, designed for babies and toddlers.
There are a number of important differences between cow milk and goat milk. Is goat milk extraordinary? We think so!
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. |

What about Lactose intolerance and Cow Milk Protein Allergy?
Lactose Intolerance
Lactose is often blamed for tummy troubles in little ones, but it’s the primary carbohydrate source in breast milk. Lactose is identical, regardless of source (breast milk, cow milk or goat milk).
