Mongolian Camel Milk- Rich in Vitamins
By B. Narandelger

Mongolian camels are more special than other animals. The mare’s milk of Mongolian camels is deferent because of its natural environment.
In other words, the camel is ill less often because it has become accustomed to living in harsh conditions. So, its mares pass on the energy and vitamins to their young through their milk. For example: People living in the mountainous area take their vitamins from many kinds of plants but people living in the desert area take their vitamins from just camels. It shows the camel’s importance because people can take all their vitamins from one source.
Mongolian’s have been using mare’s milk for many things from ancient times until now.
However, they usually use it for medicinal treatments. Mare’s milk is almost the same as mother’s milk regarding cholesterol for protein. So it is really convenient in the production of milk fodder for women and babies and it prevents heart disease.
It can diminish edema because mare’s milk is rich in Calcium and Sodium.
According to the advice of scholars, people should use Khoomog (think sour mils of camel) instead of other sources of vitamin C because Khoomog has such an abundance of the vitamin. Some victims exposed to the radiation from the Chernobyl nuclear reactor disaster in the 1980’s were able to effectively treat radiation sickness with mare’s milk because of its high concentration of vitamins as well.
It is also believed to be an effective moisturizer when applied to human skin and is in fact used as key ingredient in many inexpensive commercial skin moisturizers produced in Mongolia. Professor of Mongolian University of Science and Technology Ts. Batsukh has been researching camels and mare’s milk for as many as 20 years.
According to her, it is possible that mare’s milk alone also can provide us with enough Calcium for our diet.
Humans require 80mg of calcium a day. Over a hundred years ago, Russian scholar I.I Mechnikov determined that mare’s milk could even fight against the process of aging. In addition, mare’s milk is rich in vitamins A, D, K ands E.
