Enjoy Dairy Without Discomfort
Providing a premium dairy classification that offers consumers a reliable and trusted choice for their dairy products. Our commitment builds upon A2; NonBCM7™ Certified ensures you enjoy every dairy product confidently and comfortably.
NonBCM7™ Certified Dairy: A new premium class of natural dairy—nutrient-rich, easier to digest, and free from BCM-7 triggers
Cow genetics are not top of mind for consumers — they care about how dairy makes them feel. A2 is a farm-level classification that milk comes from certain cows. NonBCM7™ Certified goes further: it’s an end-product certification that the dairy you’re choosing is free from the BCM-7 peptide that causes digestive discomfort for millions. That means milk, yogurt, cheese, butter, and ice cream that are easier to digest, naturally nutritious, and backed by science. NonBCM7™ isn’t just another niche label — it’s the next premium classification in dairy, giving consumers a clear, trusted choice across cow, goat, and sheep products (as well as others). Where A2 ends, NonBCM7 begins.
BCM-7: What is it and why is it important?
BCM-7, or beta-casomorphin-7, is a peptide derived from the digestion of the milk protein beta-casein, particularly from the A1 variant commonly found in cow’s milk. When A1 beta-casein breaks down in the digestive tract, it can release BCM-7, which has opioid-like effects in the body, meaning it can bind to opioid receptors and influence various physiological processes. We are trying to be objective and transparent as well as inform consumers of the benefits of rethinking milk as a more natural, nutrient-rich source as opposed to processed plant based milk alternatives. The choice is ultimately up to each consumer as to the reasons for their choices, but we are hoping to share factual information to aid in their selections.
So, how does this all tie together and why are we saying milk is a good source of nutrition after pointing out the BCM-7 reaction from milk? Stay with us - please browse the various portions of this website and follow our blogs for current information. Not all milk is created equal, cows milk can cause this reaction in certain people but there is a way to identify and produce milk from cows that will minimize this reaction.
Did you know that there are also alternatives such as goat, sheep, buffalo, and even camels that naturally do not cause this BCM-7 reaction? Even human milk for nursing mothers does not cause this reaction.
Not only is this applicable to milk, any dairy products (cheeses, ice cream, yogurt, butter, etc.) can be produced using NonBCM7™ certified milk.
We are an independent organization and our goal is not only to educate but also maintain a reliable registry of producers/animals that have been certified through the use of independent genetic testing which are producing what we refer to as NonBCM7™ certified milk. This will allow consumers to be able to easily identify and select products that will not cause the BCM-7 reaction...NonBCM7™ certified. Rest assured, this is not a genetically modified process but rather a process of simply selecting cows that exist today which are identified through a simple genetic test - very similar to human genealogy testing many people are doing today.
