When it comes to milk, most people focus on fat content, freshness, and taste—but few know about the proteins inside milk and how they impact our health. At Krushna Doodh, we go beyond the basics to give your family not just pure milk—but the right kind of milk, sourced from desi (indigenous) cow breeds known for their A2 protein-rich milk.
Here’s everything you need to know about A1 vs A2 milk, and why this distinction matters more than ever.
A1 vs A2 Milk: What’s the Difference?
Milk contains a protein called beta-casein, which exists in two variants: A1 and A2. The difference between them lies in just one amino acid—but that small difference can have a big impact on how our bodies digest and respond to milk.
A1 Milk:
Found in foreign breeds like Holstein, Jersey, and Friesian cows
Contains a peptide called BCM-7 (beta-casomorphin-7) during digestion
Linked to bloating, discomfort, and inflammation in some people
Often used in commercial, mass-produced milk brands
A2 Milk:
Found in Indian desi cow breeds like Gir, Sahiwal, and Red Sindhi
Does not produce BCM-7
Easier to digest, especially for lactose-sensitive individuals
Associated with improved gut health and immune support
Why Krushna Doodh Chooses Desi Cows
At Krushna Doodh, we are deeply rooted in tradition, health, and science. That’s why we source our milk only from Indian desi cow breeds that naturally produce A2 milk.
