What are the benefits of organic dairy?
Organic farming takes a lead from nature, working with the seasons and natural rhythms to get the very best results, because when we look after nature, nature looks after us.
Our organic dairy products taste great and are packed with vitamins and minerals that are beneficial in helping our bodies to function well, as part of a healthy balanced diet and lifestyle.
We wanted to share the health benefits of milk, yogurt, cheese and the rest of our delicious products, and let you in on the facts about the wonderful world of organic dairy.
What's so great about Organic Milk?
Organic milk is a great source of essential nutrients such as calcium, protein, omega-3, vitamin B12, vitamin B2, phosphorous, iodine and potassium.
All these nutrients, naturally present in organic free-range milk. Which makes milk a worthwhile part of our diet as they contribute to the normal function of the body in everyday life.
Natural source of calcium
Organic milk is naturally rich in calcium which is needed for the maintenance of normal bones and teeth.
What’s more, there’s little difference in the calcium levels of full-fat, semi-skimmed and skimmed milk – so drink up for calcium, no matter the type of milk you like to drink.
Dairy is a source of protein
There are many ways to include protein as part of a healthy diet, like including meat, eggs, beans and pulses in your meals.
Dairy products are naturally rich in unique protein (the 2 types in dairy are casein, a slow-digesting protein and whey, a more quickly digested protein).
The Good Stuff
Organic milk is a great source of many other essential nutrients. Vitamin B12 keeps your blood and nerve cells healthy. Vitamin B2 and Phosphorous are important for the growth, development, and function of the cells in your body. They both also help turn the food you eat into the energy you need.
Potassium helps maintain normal levels of fluid inside our cells. Sodium, its counterpart, maintains normal fluid levels outside of cells. Potassium also helps muscles to contract and supports normal blood pressure.
