Sheep’s milk is also unique in its structure. Many of those who are lactose intolerant, and cannot drink cow or goat milk, can consume sheep’s milk. Sheep milk nutritionally out-performs goat & cow’s milk in almost all areas:

• 44% more Energy than cow’s milk
• 45% more Protein than cow’s milk
• 50% more Iron than cow or goat’s milk
• 38% more Calcium
• 90% more Folic Acid than goat’s milk (similar levels in cow’s milk)
• 50% more Vitamin B12 than cow’s milk
• Higher levels of key vitamins A, D, E & C than both cow & goat’s milk

Many people who have an intolerance or sensitivities to cow’s milk find that they can consume sheep’s dairy products successfully because sheep milk contains higher levels of medium-short-chain fatty acids (MCT), which aids in the absorption of lactose. MCT also limits and/or inhibits cholesterol deposits.
