Camel Milk Gains Attention as Potential Dairy Alternative with Health Benefits

Research highlights camel milk's hypoallergenic properties, immune-boosting proteins, and suitability for arid climates.

  • Camel milk contains bioactive peptides and over 1,100 proteins, surpassing cow milk's 851, with potential benefits for immune health and cardiovascular disease prevention.
  • It lacks beta-lactoglobulin, a major allergen in cow milk, making it a promising option for individuals with dairy allergies or sensitivities.
  • Camel milk is lower in fat and lactose compared to cow milk, making it easier to digest for people with mild lactose intolerance.
  • Camels thrive in arid and semi-arid climates unsuitable for traditional cattle farming, offering a sustainable dairy option in such regions.
  • Despite its benefits, camel milk production remains limited, with camels producing significantly less milk daily compared to cows, contributing to higher costs.
