HVN aMiGo Metadata Record - a2 Milk for gut comfort

This metadata record and it's attached files make statements about the kinds of data collected as part of this research, and set out policies for governance of that data, now and in the future.Description: Dairy intolerance is often attributed to lactose intolerance but there may be individuals who exhibit an intolerance due to the A1 version of bovine beta-casein protein found in the dairy supply. The peptide sequence variation in the A2 version of beta-casein may alter the digestion but it is still unclear how these variants of the bovine beta-casein in milk are digested and metabolised in humans. This study aims to evaluate digestive, metabolic and immunological responses to milks with or without lactose and A1 beta–casein in self-reported dairy intolerant individuals.
