Jerseys and Guernseys produce a standard lactose molecule that takes a fixed amount of metabolic energy to create. Holsteins produce a lower-energy version of the lactose molecule that requires less metabolic product to produce. That is why Holsteins make more milk, because the lactose molecule is lower energy, so they dispose of the excess metabolic product by producing more milk. It makes sense then that Jersey lactose can energize athletes better than Holstein lactose.

Sheep are hard to milk, thus when they are milked their adrenaline is elevated. This adrenaline then passes into the milk, so consuming it gives a “boost” to your workout.
Can anyone confirm any of this? Thanks!
