Abstract

Camel milk, often overlooked in modern diets, emerges as a potent superfood with exceptional nutritional and therapeutic benefits. People tend to ignore camel milk in their diets but its nutritional value and healing potential make it an exceptional superfood for people who cannot tolerate lactose. Bioactive compounds present in camel milk create functional food benefits because the milk demonstrates antibacterial properties as well as antiviral and antioxidant properties alongside hypoallergenic properties that attract growing worldwide attention. The nutritional values that make camel milk special include elevated amounts of vitamin C in addition to unsaturated fatty acids together with proteins that assist digestion and boost the immune capability. The digestion process of camel milk produces no coagulum and its lactose content remains low which makes it a suitable choice for those with lactose intolerance problems. Camel milk shows significant medicinal potential through its management of diabetes and immune boost effects and ASD symptoms reduction. The paper addresses camel milk's historical legacy before demonstrating how it could work as a sustainable health-food for today's consumers.
