Camel milk contains a form of unique, powerful immune active components not found in cow or goat milk. These immunoglobulins and lactoferrins appear to fight various disease-causing organisms. Known as nanobodies, the immunoglobulins are smaller than human immunoglobulins and can easily pass into human tissues to be utilized.

A number of studies on camel milk lactoferrin has shown that it has anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties. Lactoferrin inhibits the growth of bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, Klebsiella Pneumoniae, Clostridium, H. Pylori, Staphylococcus Aureus, and the yeast Candida Albicans.

Camel milk also contains beneficial enzymes like lysozyme and lactoperoxidase which are helpful to the body in fighting infection.
