Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2

Goat milk protein is sometimes promoted as a nutritional intervention to support muscle tone, largely due to its protein content, which is similar in quality to cow’s milk proteins and contains all essential amino acids. Scientifically, protein intake is important for muscle maintenance and repair, and goat milk provides relatively high levels of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), which are crucial for muscle synthesis. Some studies have suggested that goat milk protein is slightly more digestible than cow milk protein due to its different casein profile and smaller fat globules, potentially making it a better option for individuals with mild sensitivities to cow’s milk.

However, there is limited direct clinical research examining goat milk protein specifically for the treatment or support of low muscle tone (hypotonia) in humans. Most evidence is extrapolated from general studies on dietary protein and muscle health, not from interventions using goat milk protein specifically. The use of goat milk protein for promoting muscle tone is thus scientifically plausible based on general nutritional principles, but lacks targeted, robust clinical trials validating its efficacy for this specific purpose. Therefore, the scientific evidence supporting goat milk protein for improving muscle tone is currently modest.
