Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Camel milk, derived from the Camelidae family, particularly the Camelus genus, presents numerous health benefits and therapeutic potentials. It contains lower cholesterol and lactose levels compared to cow's milk while being richer in essential nutrients such as vitamin C and iron. Its therapeutic uses include treating gastrointestinal disorders due to its anti-inflammatory properties, aiding diabetes management by reducing insulin requirements, and potentially alleviating symptoms of autism through the absence of specific caseins found in cow's milk. Camel milk also displays anti-oncogenic properties, reduces cholesterol levels, and serves as a safer alternative for individuals with allergies. Additionally, its antimicrobial components support immune functions, while its rich content of alpha-hydroxy acids promotes skin health. Overall, camel milk stands out as a valuable functional food with extensive health applications.
