Abstract Many “reviews of reviews” were published almost every month to vent the health claims of camel milk, attributing to it, many “therapeutic virtues” without critical look. However, camel milk cannot be considered as a medicine because it is first and foremost a food even if some health effects and undeniable dietetic properties can be attributed to some of its components. However, these health claims are undeniable commercial arguments contributing to the current development of the sector on a global scale (around 5.5% annual growth), despite the many constraints linked to the desert environment in which most of the camel farms are living. This publication therefore briefly reviews the main components of milk with a potential health effect and/or dietary interest and which constitute a springboard for a rapid development of the camel milk economy worldwide.
