Experts have found that goat's milk finds its place in the prevention of anemia and bone demineralization. It also helps to properly utilize iron, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium.
Experts have found that goat's milk finds its place in the prevention of anemia and bone demineralization. It also helps to properly utilize iron, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium.
These data are provided by the Department of Psychology at the University of Granada. The team of Prof. Margarita Campos, Prof. H. Alferez and Prof. In. Alaya compared goat's and cow's milk with both normal calcium content and enriched calcium. Differences in bioavailability have also been found for iron, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium.
For this purpose, the researchers studied the metabolic balance in laboratory rats with artificially induced iron deficiency anemia, and the absorption of these minerals was monitored by their level in the organs associated with their homeostasis. Of course, a number of hematological parameters have been studied.
The results were in favor of goat's milk. It has a much more beneficial effect in the presence of iron deficiency anemia and bone demineralization. In addition, it has been found that its enrichment with calcium does not affect the absorption of other minerals.
A more detailed study of the difference in the effect of the two types of milk in humans is forthcoming.
