Camel milk has been the primary type of milk consumed by many Bedouin people for generations. In fact, it has supported nomad and pastoral cultures since the domestication of camels millennia ago. Herders have often survived quite well solely on camel milk when taking their camels on long journeys due to the abundance and quality of the nutrition this milk contains.

Camel milk contains nutrients, including anti-bacterial and anti-viral substances, that offer the potential for better gut health and digestion, lower blood sugar, improved heart health, energy and stamina.

Camel Milk is an excellent source of protein, which is essential for good health and has many important functions in the body.

B Vitamins

Camel milk is a natural way to get B vitamins.

Each B vitamin has a specific function relating to helping enzymes work, helping your metabolism function correctly and in the production of energy. Our body’s energy factories, called the mitochondria, require B vitamins to make energy.

Many body chemical reactions require B vitamins. B vitamins are intimately involved with the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.

B vitamins are needed in wound healing and needed by the immune system. They are also needed for the maintenance of healthy gums, skin, and blood.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant, and antioxidants are the substances that protect cells from damage. Antioxidants reduce oxidative stress which is a condition of increased oxidation in the cells characterized by the release of free radicals that result in cellular degeneration. Free radicals are molecules produced when your body breaks down food. Thus, the importance of Vitamin E.

Vitamin E is important to vision, reproductive health and blood, brain and skin health. It helps maintain cardiovascular health, as well as the health of membranes and the tissues of the cells.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is needed for wound healing, for a well-functioning immune system and for the maintenance of healthy gums, skin, and blood. It also supports mitochondrial health.

Potassium

Potassium is a mineral and a type of electrolyte. Electrolytes keep your body in balance. Potassium is needed for the pH balance of blood, body-water balance, and nerve and muscle function. Potassium helps keep the amount of water in your body in balance, keeps your body from becoming too acidic or alkaline, carries impulses along your nerves, and helps make your muscles contract and relax.

Phosphorus

Phosphorus is a mineral needed for bone and tooth formation, for muscle contraction, for kidney function, nerve function and muscle activity.

Iron

Iron transports oxygen to the body’s tissues. Iron is needed in enzyme functions and by the mitochondria to function properly.

Zinc  

Zinc is needed for wound healing. It is often called “nature’s penicillin.” Zinc is also needed for reproductive organ development & growth.

Calcium

Calcium is a mineral necessary for growth, development and health. You need small, but constant supplies of minerals. Minerals ensure that the body functions properly and are responsible for the body structure. Calcium, and its availability, also has a high impact on mitochondria functioning.

Selenium  

Selenium is an antioxidant that works with Vitamin E. It protects the cell membrane and internal structures. It is needed by the mitochondria to function properly.

Immunoglobulins

Immunoglobulins are any of a class of proteins present in the serum and cells of the immune system. They function as antibodies and protect against infection and disease.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

These essential fatty acids (essential as the body cannot make them) are well known to promote healthy inflammatory balance. The EPA and DHA of the Omega-3 fatty acids address inflammatory processes as well as natural tissue repair processes.

Studies provide some evidence that EPA and DHA help reduce minor pain associated with musculoskeletal exercise-induced inflammatory conditions. Studies show that the higher the Omega-3 levels in the blood of healthy individuals, the more it will support the health of the cardiovascular, immune, and nervous systems including mood. Omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.

Lactoferrin

Lactoferrin contains Colostrum which is high in nutrients and antibodies. ­ Colostrum found in camel’s milk supports the body’s natural defenses against daily pollution and chemicals. It also strengthens the gut and immune health, enhances skin and hair radiance, and helps to increase athletic performance.

So, as you can see, camel milk contains a wealth of potential to help create optimal health. Camel milk is an easy to digest and natural source of so much nutritional goodness that it is rightly called a superfood.
