Raw Cow’s Milk from grass-fed cows has been found to contain high levels of a polyunsaturated Omega-6 fatty acid called conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) which has been shown to reduce insulin resistance, boost metabolism, increase muscle mass whilst reducing abdominal fat, strengthen the immune system, reduce allergic reactions to food.
Grass fed cows have between 3 and 5 times the amount of this substance than their grain fed counterparts.
