Although cow’s milk is really best for baby cows, it’s a nutritional element that must be included in all diets.

Raw milk contains all the nutrients that have to be included in a balanced diet, like:Nutrients in Milk

  1. Fats
  2. Carbohydrates
  3. Proteins
  4. Vitamins
  5. Minerals (except iron)

There are more healthy elements in a 230g glass of milk than you can imagine:

  1. Proteins – 8 grams
  2. Carbohydrates (lactose) – 11 grams
  3. Fats (depending on the type of milk: nonfat or whole milk – from less than 1 gram to 8 grams)
  4. Calcium - 0.3 grams (about 35% of the daily doze needed for children). Calcium is absorbed much better from milk than from other products because it contains also vitamin D (which boosts calcium absorption)
  5. Vitamin B2 – a glass of milk contains 25% of the recommended daily doze for adults
  6. Vitamin B12 – 30% of the recommended doze for children
  7. Vitamin D – 25% of the recommended doze for adults
  8. Vitamin A – 10% of the recommended doze for adults
  9. Zinc – 10% of the recommended doze for children

Proteins are some of the most important elements in raw milk. Several types of proteins can be found only in milk, like caseins (80% of milk proteins). Caseins have an appropriate amino acid composition for growth and development of the young. Other proteins in milk include enzymes, proteins involved in transportation of nutrients, proteins involved in diseases resistance (antibodies) and other growth factors.
