Why a2 milk?
Long before modern farming practices there was A2 Milk – a pure and natural dairy milk containing just the (you guessed it) A2 protein. Quite some time ago, a natural change in western cattle herds meant that conventional milk served up a combination of A1 and A2 proteins.
Today, some people who have trouble drinking conventional cow’s milk say they can feel the difference when they try a2 Milk™, which comes from cows that naturally produce only A2 protein milk. For some people who have trouble drinking regular milk, a2 Milk™ brought to you by Anchor™ might make a difference. Some people say it just feels better in their bodies.
