Abstract :

Camel milk offers significant medicinal and nutritional potential, making it a valuable resource for managing various health conditions. Rich in bioactive compounds like immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, and antimicrobial peptides, camel milk exhibits anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and immune-boosting properties. It has shown promise in treating diseases such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and neurodegenerative disorders. Nutritionally, camel milk is highly digestible, hypoallergenic, and packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and proteins, making it an excellent alternative to cow's milk, particularly for individuals with lactose intolerance. Despite these benefits, challenges such as limited large-scale production, perishability, and variability in milk composition due to factors like breed and environment remain. Future research should focus on large-scale clinical trials to validate health claims, the potential for personalized medicine, and the exploration of genetic and environmental influences on camel milk composition. Addressing these challenges will enhance the accessibility and therapeutic applications of camel milk globally.
