One of the best properties of white butter is its absence of salt, a quality that differentiates it from the sodium-rich yellow butter.

White butter contains nutrients like calcium, vitamin A and vitamin D, which strengthens immune system and defence mechanism.

1. Boost immunity

White butter contains lecithin, a natural compound that breaks down unhealthy fats and enhances metabolism. 

2. Increases metabolism

Due to vitamin E content, white butter supports healthy skin, and is also known for its antioxidant properties, which causes clear and radiant skin.

3. Nourishes skin

The molecular structure of white butter allows it to absorb fats effectively, and also lubricates joints, reducing joint pain or discomfort. 

4. Joint lubrication

White butter contains arachidonic acid, which is a fatty acid that promotes brain development and cognitive functions, thus being beneficial for children.

5. Improves brain activity

Cardiovascular diseases can be prevented by eating white butter due to its vitamin K2 content.

6. Prevents Heart Attack

7. Prevents weight gain White Butter is packed with butyrate, a fatty acid produced by bacteria found in the colon. It prevents weight gain by increasing energy expenditure.
