For centuries goat's milk has been used in countries around the world for its high nutritional and medicinal qualities.
GOATIES contain healthy fats, proteins and carbohydrates, as well as calcium, potassium and many other important nutrients that keep you healthy and strong all day long.
Naturally, GOATIES contain no artificial colours or flavours.
Whole Goats milk powder comprises of:
Protein
Fats
Lactose
Minerals and Vitamins
The protein:
Is very similar in composition to that of human milk.
Is more easily digested than cow's milk protein.
Causes allergic reactions in far fewer people as it is better digested.
The fats:
Are homogenized, that is, dispersed in fine droplets through the milk. This prevents the separation of cream in goat's milk; enhances digestion; and protects the blood vessels from the atherogenic action of the enzyme Xanthine oxidase. This enzyme is liberated in the processing of cow's milk and may damage artery walls.
Are mostly good fats, being mainly Medium-chain and Short-chain fatty acids.
Medium-chain fats are not stored but rapidly burned for energy, while short-chain fats enhance liver function and promote healthy colon cells.
The lactose:
Is a source of carbohydrate which is water soluble, easily digested and provides fuel for energy production (ATP).
Is almost always tolerated by children, as they synthesize the Enzyme lactase to digest it.
NB: Lactose Intolerance: People who have sensitivity to cow's milk should not automatically equate this with lactose intolerance. In cow's milk there can be several possible contributing factors to an allergic response other than the lactose. However, some people who are lactase deficient may have a degree of sensitivity to goat's milk.
Vitamins and minerals:
Every GOATIES treat contains essential vitamins and minerals important for everyday health, vitality and well being.
Goat's milk contains calcium, potassium, sodium, zinc, iron, vitamin A, vitamin B1 and vitamin B2, as well as other important nutrients, which are generally very well absorbed by the body.
Goat's milk is higher than cow's milk in calcium, phosphorus and vitamin A.
Glucose:
GOATIES use glucose powder as a natural preservative and sweetener.
Is classified as a monosaccharide or simple sugar and circulates once consumed in the body by way of the blood stream as a simple carbohydrate (blood sugar).
Provides energy (ATP) to most of the body's cells and is the primary fuel for muscle and brain cells. Brain cells known as Neurons, however, cannot store glucose.
Brain cells require twice the amount of fuel than that of other cells in the body. These important cells depend exclusively on a steady supply of glucose from the blood to function effectively.
The American Diabetes Association (ADA) position on the glycemic index (GI) is that priority should be given to the amount rather than the source of carbohydrate.
The total amount of carbohydrate found in each GOATIES treat or pack is considerably less, in amount, than that of most snack foods and confectionaries.
