About us

Originally all cows’ milk contained only the A2 protein type. The A1 protein arose through a genetic mutation over many years.

Today, most regular milk contains a mixture of A1 and A2 proteins. Results of several published peer-reviewed human clinical trials have shown that A1 protein can cause digestion issues for some people who have difficulty drinking milk. A scientific and proprietary way to identify cows that naturally produce milk which contains only the A2 protein and no A1, was also discovered. 

Today, the a2 Milk Company continues to pioneer this science and research, bringing milk that naturally contains only the A2 protein and no A1, to the world.

Australia is our most well-established market where we have had a continued strong focus since 2007.

a2 Milk^® is the brand leader of the fresh liquid milk category in Australia, and naturally contains only the A2 protein, and no A1, thereby allowing more consumers to enjoy its unique digestive and other potential health benefits.

a2 Platinum^® infant nutrition is a leading brand in grocery and pharmacy channels.

The a2 Milk Company has licensed the a2 Milk^® brand to Fonterra in New Zealand, and a2 Milk^® fresh milk became available in stores from July 2019.
