Goat milk is naturally homogenous and can be digested more easily than cow’s milk. Goat milk has many health benefits. It is high calcium, phosphorus, potassium, iron, copper, magnesium and antioxidant activity.
It is a complete protein, containing all the essential amino acids and without the heavy fat content of cow milk.
Goat’s milk is less allergenic. It does not contain the complex proteins that stimulate allergic reaction to cow’s milk.
When fed to other animal species, goat milk has been shown to enhance metabolism of both iron and copper, especially for individuals who have problems absorbing minerals in the digestive tract because of compromised intestinal function. The milk alkalinizes the digestive system. It actually contains an alkaline ash, and it does not produce acid in the intestinal system.
Goat’s milk contains twice the healthful medium chain fatty acids, such as capric and caprylic acids which are highly antimicrobial.
People who are lactose intolerant often revert to goat’s milk and have no problems thereafter with digestive system.
