HOW WE CARE FOR OUR COWS
One Small Protein, One Big Difference
Milk has been a part of Indian tradition for centuries, valued in Ayurveda as a nourishing and wholesome food. However, not all milk is the same. The key difference lies in the type of protein it contains.
Most commercial dairy milk contains both A1 and A2 beta-casein proteins. During digestion, A1 protein may release a compound called BCM-7, which some people find difficult to tolerate.
A2 milk, on the other hand, contains only the naturally occurring A2 beta-casein protein. Produced by indigenous Gir cows, it is considered closer to the milk our ancestors traditionally consumed.
At Gaushaktiii, our Gir cows are raised with care, fed natural fodder, and nurtured in a stress-free environment. The result is pure A2 milk that reflects the goodness of traditional farming and the authenticity of nature.
Why A2 Milk Matters

The Benefits
Why Families Switch to A2
Easy to Digest
Without the A1 protein found in regular milk, A2 milk is naturally gentler on the stomach and easier for many people to enjoy every day.
Naturally Nutritious
Packed with calcium, protein, vitamins, and essential minerals, A2 milk provides wholesome nutrition while maintaining its natural purity.
Ethical & Natural
Our cows are raised with care, natural feed, and a stress-free lifestyle, ensuring quality milk produced the traditional way.
Why the Gir Cow?
The journey of pure A2 milk begins with the right breed. The Gir cow, native to Gujarat's Gir Forest, is one of India's most respected indigenous cattle breeds and is naturally known for producing A2 milk.
For generations, Gir cows have been valued not only for the quality of their milk but also for their resilience, gentle nature, and ability to thrive in natural farming environments. Their milk has long been associated with traditional Indian dairy practices and Ayurvedic wisdom.

HOW WE CARE FOR OUR COWS
One Small Protein, One Big Difference
A2 milk is milk that contains only the A2 beta-casein protein, naturally produced by indigenous Gir cows. Unlike regular milk that may contain A1 protein, A2 milk is considered closer to the milk traditionally consumed in India.
Yes. Our milk comes exclusively from carefully selected indigenous Gir cows that naturally produce A2 milk. We maintain strict standards to ensure purity and authenticity.
A2 milk does not contain the A1 beta-casein protein, which can release BCM-7 during digestion. Many people find A2 milk gentler on the stomach and easier to digest.
Yes, a2 Milk is naturally occurring cows’ milk; it’s not a result of a technological process or genetic engineering. We simply select cows that produce only A2 protein.
a2 Milk is real, natural milk, and contains the same amount of lactose as ordinary cows’ milk, so it’s not an option for people who have been clinically diagnosed with lactose intolerance.
However, data from an independent US study (published in 2009) shows that 1 in 4 Americans have discomfort after drinking milk and most of these people are diagnosing themselves as lactose intolerant without evaluation by a health care professional. The research shows only a small proportion would actually be diagnosed as lactose intolerant. We’ve found the majority are just likely to have a sensitivity to the A1 protein.
