Camel milk is healthier than milk. Its vitamin C content is three times that of milk.
The content of vitamin C in 100ml camel milk and equivalent milk is 3.8mg and 1.0mg respectively. Camel milk contains insulin-like factors, which can promote pancreas to secrete insulin. In addition, the protein and calcium contents in camel milk are higher than those in milk, while the fat content is lower than that in milk.
In addition to its high nutritional value, it can also help treat diabetes and supplement iron, which is a natural multifunctional dairy product.
According to reports, the latest research shows that taking about one pint of camel milk every day can effectively reduce the blood glucose level and reduce the body's demand for insulin. It is pointed out that camel milk can be used to treat diabetes. Camel milk contains insulin-like factors, which can help lower blood sugar.

Camel milk's industrial development also faces many difficulties. First of all, most producers in camel milk are nomads, and they can't carry the disinfection and preservation equipment necessary to produce dairy products.
In addition, camels don't cooperate with milking like cows, and female camels must smell the smell of young camels before they can secrete milk. The milking time is about 90 seconds each time, 2-3 times a day, and the milk yield of a camel is 2.5-3.5KG per day. These factors make camel milk's production has not yet formed a scale.
Although there are some difficulties, FAO believes that camel milk's industry has good prospects, which can not only increase income, but also be an important source of nutrition for people in arid and desolate areas, and also help reduce poverty and develop the economy, so it is worth developing vigorously.
