Camel milk provides the vitamins and nutrients necessary for the healthy growth and maintenance of human life. Camel milk is rich in calcium, magnesium, zinc and iron. Its vitamin C content is three times that of ordinary milk, and its saturated fat content is only half that of ordinary milk. Moreover, it tastes delicious.

Because there are insulin-like factors in the composition of camel milk, and Insulin can assist diabetes to lower sugar, the specific effect depends on the individual situation, varying from person to person, depending on the absorption of each person.

Camel milk contains unique proteins and other compounds. Different institutions around the world are conducting research to determine its medicinal properties. Currently, some studies are exploring the role of these unique compounds in gastrointestinal health, diabetes, autoimmune diseases and the management of other diseases.

Compared with cow milk and goat milk, camel milk has certain advantages in terms of nutritional components, digestion and absorption and special effects.

In terms of nutrition, it contains unique bioactive proteins. The fat globules are small, and there is a high content of unsaturated fatty acids. The vitamin C content is three times that of cow milk and twice that of goat milk, and the iron content is ten times that of cow milk and five times that of goat milk. Camel milk contains 18 kinds of amino acids essential for the human body. 

Lactoferrin is a protein present in milk, including that from humans, dairy cows and camels, and plays a significant role in preventing microbial infections. Lactoferrin, as a protein involved in immune responses, its role has been deeply studied and fully understood, and it is known to play a role in gastrointestinal health.

A study found that the lactoferrin content in camel milk is higher than that in cow's milk, and the lactoferrin in camel milk has a higher heat resistance than that in cow's milk. Therefore, the lactoferrin content in pasteurized camel milk is higher

Regarding digestion and absorption, the protein structure of camel milk is special, resulting in a lower risk of allergy. The fat and protein particles are small, making it easy for people with weak gastrointestinal functions to absorb.

In terms of special effects, it contains insulin-like factors, which are beneficial for diabetes patients to regulate blood sugar levels. Moreover, it is rich in immune-active substances, which can effectively enhance immunity.

For people allergic to milk, camel milk is a good alternative because its protein structure is different from that of cow's milk and it does not contain β -lactoglobulin. Camel milk is very similar to human breast milk, and our bodies naturally like it!

Studies show that regular consumption of camel milk has a positive effect on regulating blood sugar levels and helps diabetic patients reduce their insulin requirements.

Therefore, in addition to people with certain special diseases (such as diabetes patients, those suffering from chronic  diseases like hypertension, hyperlipidemia, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, etc.), people in special occupations, such as residents in plateau areas, athletes, and soldiers, are also more suitable for drinking camel milk to supplement nutrition.
