9. Can I drink Camelicious if I am lactose intolerant?
Camel milk is a particularly good milk for anyone who is lactose intolerant.
Camel milk does contain some lactose, but it has a smaller amount of lactose than cow milk. It is very rare for someone to have an allergic reaction to camel milk. In fact, camel milk is considered the least allergenic milk after human milk. One of the reasons for this is that camel milk is virtually bioidentical to human colostrum.
10. Can I drink Camelicious if I’m allergic to cow milk?
Camel milk doesn’t contain A1 beta-casein and beta-lactoglobulin, the two proteins found in cow milk that may cause allergies. Camel milk is usually well tolerated by those with cow milk protein allergy.
11. Can I drink cow milk and camel milk at the same time?
We suggest fully replacing cow milk with camel milk as cow milk has shown to be more allergenic than camel milk.
12. What are the advantages of camel milk over alternative milks, such as soymilk and nut milks?
Commercial soy and nut milks contain additives. Three of the most common additives in nut milks are guar gum, gellan gum and carrageenan, which are used to thicken, stabilize and preserve the milk. Carrageenan is known to be extremely inflammatory. Some have added sugar. Soymilk often contains carrageenan and vegetable oils.
In contrast, camel milk is 100% real milk without additives.
13. What does Camelicious taste like?
Most people say Camelicious tastes mostly like cow milk. Some people say it is sweeter than cow milk and some say it has a hint of saltiness. Most people say Camelicious has a pleasant flavor.
14. How should I drink Camelicious?
Simply mix Camelicious with water or a favorite cool or room temperature beverage. Put the Camelicious powder and liquid in a shaker cup with a metal ball (not plastic ball) and shake to combine.
It’s better to add Camelicious to a cool or room temperature liquid, rather than a hot liquid, as a hot liquid will destroy some of the enzymes and lessen the nutritional properties.
Some people drink Camelicious as a glass of milk and some add the powder to a smoothie. For kids, or adults, adding some cacao powder makes a healthy chocolate milk drink.
15. When is the best time to drink camel milk?
You can drink camel milk whenever you like – before, during or after meals, or between meals.
Some of our customers tell us they notice great benefits if they drink it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.
16. Can I cook and bake with camel milk?
Yes, camel milk is an excellent substitute for cow milk and alternative milks in cooking and baking. Usually, you can use the same amount of camel milk in recipes which use cow milk.
17. Can I add camel milk powder to my coffee, or to hot water?
Yes, you can add camel milk powder to make a great tasting cup of coffee or add it to hot water for a warm milk drink. However, for the best nutritional value we do recommend mixing the powder with cool or room temperature liquids.
18. How much camel milk is in one box of Camelicious?
Each Camelicious box contains 480 grams (16.9 oz) of camel milk powder in 24 individual packets (20 g/0.7 oz each). Each packet makes a 6 to 8 oz glass of milk. So, with 480 grams of camel milk powder you can make between 144 and 192 oz of liquid milk.
19. How much Camelicious should I drink?
We suggest you start Camelicious at ½ packet a day for the first 2 days. The powder can be mixed with 3 to 4 oz of water or mixed with a smoothie. By doing this, you can see how your body reacts to camel milk and Camelicious. For children or adults with known sensitivities to some foods, start with a lesser amount than ½ packet.
At your own pace, move up to drinking 1 packet a day.
For general health benefits, we suggest taking 1 packet a day. For more nutritional support you can take 2 packets a day, one in the morning and one in the late afternoon. For those with health challenges that can be helped with camel milk, it is beneficial to take Camelicious 3 times a day, 1 packet in the morning, 1 packet around lunch time and 1 packet in the late afternoon.
If, at any time, you have a non-optimum reaction then simply reduce the amount you are taking.
If you open a packet of Camelicious and don't use all the powder in the packet, seal the packet and store it in the refrigerator. It is best to use all the contents of a single serve packet within 24-48 hours of opening it.

22. What is flash pasteurization?

23. Is the milk tested for heavy metals?
Yes, the camel milk is continuously tested to ensure it is free of heavy metals and a variety of environmental contaminants.
24. What are the advantages of camel milk powder over fresh camel milk?
On average, fresh camel milk only has a shelf life of 4-5 days after the camel is milked. Camelicious camel milk powder has a shelf life of 12 months; that means the nutritional benefits of the camel milk are good for 12 months. Camel milk powder is easier to store than fresh milk. It’s also easier to continue to have the benefits of drinking camel milk when travelling.
25. Why is Camelicious packed in single serve packets?
Some companies sell large bags of camel milk powder. Unfortunately, the moment a large bag of camel milk powder is opened it is subject to oxidation and its nutritional benefits may be lessened after about 24 to 48 hours.
Camelicious is packaged in single serve packets so when each packet is consumed it is providing the optimum nutritional benefits. Unopened packets maintain the nutritional benefits of the camel milk powder for 12 months.

27. How is Camelicious produced?
Camelicious camel milk is flash pasteurized only to the point where any harmful bacteria are destroyed but where all the unique nutritional properties and health benefits remain. The milk is then gently dried without heat or freezing to maintain the natural color, flavor and consistency of fresh milk.
The powder is immediately packed into individual single serve packets.
