1.    Rich in Essential Minerals

2.    Antibacterial and Anti-Inflammatory Properties

The bioactive compounds found in sheep milk have antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties.

3.    Supports Collagen Formation

Sheep milk contains proline and hydroxyproline, amino acids that help form collagen, regenerate connective tissues, and repair skin conditions, wounds, and joints.

4.    Contains Beneficial Fatty Acids

Sheep milk includes conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and arachidonic acid, which may prevent type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and certain types of cancer. These acids improve the metabolism of folic acid and vitamin B12, important for the development of the central nervous system.

5.    Prevents Birth Defects

High levels of folate in sheep milk can prevent birth defects, as folate deficiency is associated with neural tube defects.

6.    High in Lactoferrin

Sheep milk has the highest level of lactoferrin compared to any other milk source. Lactoferrin acts as an antioxidant, helps stop the growth of harmful bacteria, prevents infections, reduces inflammation, improves memory, and reduces oxidative stress in the brain.

7.    Easily Digestible Fats

Sheep milk contains higher levels of short and medium-chain fatty acids, aiding digestion and lactose absorption, making it a gentler option for sensitive stomachs.

8.    Healthy Fats

While sheep milk contains double the fat of other milk sources, the monounsaturated fats in sheep milk can lower total cholesterol levels. Medium-chain fats, which make up about 25% of the fat content, have been shown to reduce fat deposits in the body and improve overall energy levels.

9.    High Energy Content

Sheep milk contains one-third more energy than other milk sources, making it ideal for people recovering from illness.

10.    Boosts Immunity

The combination of minerals and nutrients in sheep milk, especially vitamins A and E, boosts immunity. Vitamin E is particularly good for improving skin health, helping to reduce symptoms of eczema and psoriasis.

11.    Reduces Asthma Symptoms

The high iron content in sheep milk helps reduce the symptoms of asthma.

12.    Supports Healthy Membranes

Sheep milk contains lecithin, which maintains healthy cell membranes.

13.    Blood Pressure Regulation

The high concentration of important amino acids in sheep milk acts similarly to certain blood pressure medications, making it a good option for those who prefer a natural approach to controlling blood pressure.

14.    Smaller Fat Globules

Sheep milk has smaller fat globules compared to other milk sources, which can aid digestion and potentially help in regulating cholesterol levels. Its unique fatty acid composition helps reduce inflammation and may support brain function. Additionally, the nutrient-rich profile of sheep milk promotes overall health and wellness.

15.    Easily Absorbable Proteins

The proteins in sheep milk are smaller and less complex, making it easier for our bodies to absorb the nutrients. This means that sheep milk can be enjoyed by those who suffer from digestive issues such as lactose intolerance, Crohn's disease, diverticulitis, and food allergies.

16.    Natural Probiotics

Sheep milk contains natural probiotics that boost digestive health and can be especially beneficial for people with inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, IBS, and lupus.

17.    Lactose Content

Although sheep milk does contain lactose, its composition and molecule size make it more easily digestible. Lactose in our yoghurts, kefir, and labneh is converted into lactic acid, making these products very suitable for those with lactose intolerance and sensitive stomachs.
