Protein
Sheep’s milk is a naturally protein-rich source that doesn’t require any enhancements or reconstitution, common with many milk drinks. It contains all the essential amino acids, including leucine, isoleucine, and valine, which are critical for muscle building and recovery, at concentrations higher than in other milks. Furthermore, its high protein content benefits muscle building and recovery, while also promoting a feeling of fullness, which is useful for dieting or avoiding between-meal hunger pangs.
Minerals
Sheep’s milk contains higher concentrations of vital minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium compared to other milk types. Calcium is crucial for building and maintaining strong bones, thereby reducing osteoporosis risk, and ensures the proper functioning of muscles, heart, and nerves. Phosphorus, also prominent in sheep’s milk, aids in forming healthy bones and teeth, and facilitates the production of ATP, our body’s energy currency. Magnesium, present in every body cell, offers multiple health benefits such as enhanced sports performance, depression resistance, anti-inflammatory properties, and potential blood pressure reduction.
Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are an essential macronutrient when it comes to performing at your best. It is recommended that they are consumed within 45 minutes post training/ game/ physical exercise to replenish your bodies energy stores (glycogen stores) which helps to speed up recovery time. Our Performance Protein drinks contain 31.5 g of carbohydrates, this is a good amount to have post training or as a meal replacement food if you’re on the go.
Vitamins
Sheep’s milk is higher in many vitamins when compared to other milk varieties. The B vitamins complex (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 & B12) are all found in higher concentrations than bovine milk. These vitamins help your body metabolise proteins, fats, and carbohydrates into glucose (the main source of energy for the brain and body). They are also important for; brain development, to keep immune and nervous systems working, the formation of red blood cells and to help regulate mood. Sheep’s milk also contains a good source of vitamin A which is known to help; preserve eyesight, support the immune system, support bone health and it may lower the risk of certain cancers.
Fats
Fat for many years was portrayed as something which should be left out of your diet, recent studies, however, are showing just how important it is to get fat in your diet. Sheep’s milk is naturally creamy due to a fat concentration which is higher than what is found in cow’s milk. This is ideal because it provides the extra energy which your body needs after exercise to repair cells and muscle tissue. The fats are mostly short-medium chain fatty acids which break down faster in the body and aid the absorption of lactose.
Digestibility
Sheep’s milk, with its exclusive A2-type beta caseins and mainly short-medium chain fatty acids, is easier to digest compared to other milk types containing A1 beta caseins. This combination results in faster digestion, typically around 45 minutes. Our Performance Protein drinks enhance this digestibility even more with a substantial serving of prebiotic fibre, which nourishes your healthy gut bacteria. An abundance of good gut bacteria not only promotes optimal gut health but also further improves digestion.

The Experienced People of this World
We all age and it is well known as we do so, staying active and healthy can sometimes be a challenge. Our sheep milk products are full of energy and the right kind of nutrition, however, the most important factor is that they are easily digested. As we age our ability to digest food decreases and many ageing people become malnourished because of this. Incorporating highly nutritious, easily digested foods into our diets is a good way to avoid this.
