A1 vs A2 milk
The A1, A2 (beta-casein) debate has come from some very artful US marketing, where some, but not all practitioners, suggest A2 is easier to digest. The research is not conclusive on this. Like most EU sourced whey protein our milk is based primarily on A1 cows, albeit some herds will have A2 genetics.
