1. Build strong bones

Milk of all varieties is rich in calcium and goat’s milk is no exception. In addition, it gives you a comparable amount of calcium as cow’s milk without many side effects ensuring that the calcium deposits stay rich and stable while helping prevent osteoporosis.

2. Anti-inflammatory properties

One reason why people tend to love goat’s milk is that they are able to enjoy it without the inflammation and upset stomach that cow’s milk often causes. This is due to the unique enzymatic make up of goat’s milk that soothes inflammation in the gut. Research is ongoing to see whether these anti-inflammatory properties extend to other areas of the body, but one thing is for certain, it’s definitely good for your stomach.

3. Nutrient uptake efficiency

One of the main benefits of goat’s milk is that the chemical composition is far closer to human milk than cow’s milk. Human milk is similar to goat’s milk, so our bodies are able to get more nutrients out of the milk as it moves through our system and causes less stress on our digestive processes.

4. Metabolism booster

Goat’s milk is far more nutrient dense than cow’s milk which means that you don’t need as much of it to receive the same (or better) nutrient intake. A single cup provides nearly 40% of our daily calcium requirements, 20% of vitamin B intake, as well as significant amounts of potassium and phophorous. Furthermore, studies have shown that goat’s milk can help increase the uptake of iron and copper in our digestive tract which is essential for people who struggle with anemia and other deficiencies.

5. Protects the heart

There are nearly twice as many beneficial fatty acids in goat’s milk as can be found in cow’s milk, which means that our cholesterol balance is safe if it is consumed.

6. Boosts immunity

Cow’s milk contain trace amounts of selenium, but there are significant amounts of it in goat’s milk. This rare mineral is a key component in the immune system functionality, protecting us from illnesses and fending off infections

7. Growth and development

Goat’s milk is a very rich source of protein, which is an essential part of growth and development, as proteins are the building blocks of cells, tissues, muscles and bones. By ensuring a steady stream of protein, we protect our metabolic processes and stimulate growth and overall health.

8. Weight loss

Although goat’s milk has more fatty acids than cow’s milk, it has less bad fat, which means it can help people lose weight, without compromising their nutritional needs
