Instant Full Cream Milk Powder

Instant Full Cream Milk Powder is made from pure, fresh, homogenized and pasteurized
cows milk of prime quality. Water has been removed by a special spray process which
ensures that all natural food elements are preserved. The Instant Full Cream Milk Powder
thus produced is easily digestible and can be used for all purposes where milk is required.

Butter Oil
Butter oil or high-vitamin butter oil is dairy oil which is extracted without heat from the milk
of cows fed only on rapidly growing grass. It is more nutritious and dense than standard
butter and less processed than ghee.
Health benefits of Butter Oil are

Butter oil is a nutrient dense supplement containing high amounts of Activator-X

and the fat-soluble vitamin K2.

Rich in butyric acid, a main form of fuel for gut bacteria, this is critical for healthy

digestion and immune function.

Ghee
Ghee is a type of clarified butter which is prepared by melting butter, boiling off the water
and separating the clear, golden butter fat from the milk solids. The production of ghee
includes simmering the butter along with milk solids which makes the GHEE nutty tasting
and aromatic.
The health benefits of Ghee are as follows
Ghee is good for nerves and brain as it helps control eye pressure and is beneficial to

glaucoma patients.

Ghee is most notably said to stimulate the secretion of stomach acids to help with

digestion, while other fats, such as butter and oils, slow down the digestive process

and can sit heavy in the stomach.
