Does buffalo milk help digestion?
We found no statement from FAO, USDA, NIH or NHS that buffalo milk improves digestion, gut bacteria or digestive disorders, so we do not repeat those claims. The FAO milk composition page makes no digestive health claims.
What is in buffalo milk?
FAO states that buffalo milk has a very high fat content, on average twice that of cow milk, and a fat-to-protein ratio of about 2:1. USDA FoodData Central lists “Milk, indian buffalo, fluid” per 100 g, with a cup weighing 244 g. The cup column is our calculation.
| Nutrient | Per 100 g | Per cup (our calculation) |
|---|---|---|
| Calories | 97 kcal | about 237 kcal |
| Total fat | 6.89 g | about 16.8 g |
| Protein | 3.75 g | about 9.2 g |
| Carbohydrate | 5.18 g | about 12.6 g |
| Calcium | 169 mg | about 412 mg |
Is it easier or harder to digest than cow milk?
We found no official comparison. Because the fat content is higher, a cup has more calories than a cup of cow milk. If dairy upsets your stomach, ask a doctor or pharmacist.
