Milk is the measure of what you put into it. The care of the cows and the quality of the feed connect to the quality of the milk. That's why grass-fed milk is naturally nutritious and absolutely delicious. So how does Grass Fed Milk add up?
Omega-rich in all the right places
Grass-fed milk offers more of the desired omega fatty acids n3 and contributes less to the omega fatty acids n6 of the typical North American diet. That means more of the good fats and less of the bad fats. The right balance of omega fatty acids contributes to proper heart, nerve, vision, immune and brain function.
Reduction in heart disease and an increase in brainpower
When it comes to overall health benefits, grass-fed milk packs a smart punch as it is higher in two essential fatty acids - Conjugated Linoleic Acid & Alpha-Linolenic Acid.
In fact, grass fed milk contains 55% more CLAs and 20% more ALAs than conventional milk. Those are numbers your body will notice.
Foods rich in calcium and CLA have known benefits for reducing the risk of heart disease and high blood pressure and may reduce the risk of certain cancers.
ALA is essential to human health and cannot be made in our bodies. It helps create fatty acids such as DHA and EPA that are integral for the proper function of our brain, nervous system and heart.
Antioxidants on your side
Grass-fed dairy contains essential antioxidants, minerals, proteins and a healthy spectrum of fats that provide small children excellent nutrition in small volume. In milk, beta-carotene can act as an antioxidant in the human body and protect tissues from damage.
