Donkey's milk: incomparable powers

Reputed for its unique resistance qualities since the dawn of time, the Donkey is man's faithful companion. He's the one that pulls, ploughs and transports. He was a mount for Middle Age travellers. His reputation as a tireless worker makes him an essential craftsman of farming and business life in the Mediterranean region. Its Donkey's milk has had the place of honour since always with its many properties: moisturising, hypoallergenic, medicinal … It is written that Cleopatra bathed in it. The Greeks considered it to be an excellent remedy; the Romans, recognising its extraordinary richness, made a luxury drink and beauty products out of it. Buffon mentions it in his "Natural History" while women of fashion from the 19th century wanted to lay their hands on this remarkable drink… Today the scientific community recognises the legitimacy of this heritage: where the mother's milk use would be neither recommended nor available and thus would mean that a substitute milk is necessary, Donkey's milk represents an excellent natural alternative, as well as a natural product with rare dietary and cosmetic properties. Under certain conditions, in case of allergies, e.g. cow's milk proteins allergy, Donkey's milk is an incomparable substitute to any milky feeding

Qualities

But why is donkey's milk so good? It is very different from the milk of ruminants that have multiple stomachs; their three-day digestion time oxidizes the fatty acids and vitamins. As humans, the donkey has a monogastric digestive system. Furthermore, due to digestion by fermentation, the milk of ruminants has a very high bacterial load; donkey's milk has enzymes (lysozyme and lactoferrin) which are powerful anti-microbial agents. Donkey's milk is very complete and very close to the woman's milk. It is rich in vitamins (A, B1, B2, B6, C, D, E), minerals (calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, zinc...), trace elements and essential fatty acids (omega 3 and 6). It contains a lot of retinol (vitamin A) which has a very significant wrinkle-fighting and tightening effect. Retinol also helps to accelerate healing and collagen production. We understand that it is especially effective on problem skin with eczema, acne or psoriasis. The skin regenerates more easily and thus eliminates impurities. Donkey's milk moisturizes and is recommended for early skin aging.
