Desert Farms Camel Milk, Santa Monica, CA, has introduced America’s first retail camel milk brand. Available in select Lassen’s Market and by the end of June in 40 Whole Food Markets in Northern California, as well as direct via the company’s website, Desert Farms camel milk is 100% wholesome, raw and natural; packed with special proteins, calcium and a full 70% of our suggested daily value of vitamin B1; a good source of potassium and phosphorus; and only 110 calories per serving.Desert Farms camel milk is also free of GMOs, additives, preservatives and hormones.
Containing only milk from U.S.-based camels and bottled entirely in America, Desert Farms Camel Milk is available in several distinct varieties: Raw Camel Milk; Raw Camel Milk (Frozen); Raw Camel Milk Kefir; Pasteurized Camel Milk; Raw Camel Milk Colostrum (1st); and Raw Camel Milk Colostrum (Regular).
Although camel milk is neither a supplement or medicine and that claims about its benefits to autistic children are not approved by the FDA, worth noting is that researchers at the King Saud University in Saudi Arabia recently examined the effects of 500 ml. of camel milk vs. cow's milk on 60 autistic children aged 2-12 years old for two weeks. Twenty four children received raw camel milk; 25 received boiled camel milk, and 11 received cow's milk as a placebo. Blood analysis revealed low levels of antioxidants in all children at the beginning of the study. However, those in both camel milk groups showed significantly less oxidative stress at the end of the two weeks as well as improvement on the behavioral and cognitive tests for camel milk and autism.
Camel milk also contains high levels of GABA (Gamma-Amino Butyric Acid), which is essential for helping the brain to function properly. University of California Irvine scientists have found that both camel milk and goat milk have significantly more GABA than cow's milk or human milk. Other research-based benefits of camel milk include:
