Since my entry on August 10, in which I talked about our recent Focus Group’s discussion about Nutrish Milk, we have received a number of comments and questions. I welcome more questions and comments about this product.
As I said before, when we introduced Nutrish in 1989, the big news was that you could enjoy the power of the digestive effects of the cultures, lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidobacterium, without any change in the flavor of the milk. Many people sent letters and stated how much it has meant to them. There is no question that drinking Nutrish has had a quick and substantially positive impact on many people. As with many things, Nutrish affects different people in different ways.
The positive comments have come from people with discomfort from digestive problems such as acid reflux and Hiatal Hernia, which I think are similar. We have had a significant number of comments from people with Crohn’s Disease and Colitis. We have not felt that there is enough clinical evidence to support a blanket statement on the use of Mayfield Nutrish to help relieve some of the digestive issues associated with these conditions. Based on the input we have received, I would say it is worth trying. If you are uncomfortable with consuming Nutrish without consulting with your doctor, by all means have a conversation with your doctor.
When we make a concerted effort to inform people about Mayfield Nutrish, we will be focusing on the research that has been done, which indicates an improved immune system because of these beneficial, live cultures. Many people will change to Nutrish even though they are healthy now. They will continue to be healthy and will probably have fewer health problems, but it will be harder for them to express that their lives have changed. The folks with digestive conditions who experience an overnight or quick difference are in a different situation. Even so, I cannot imagine someone who loves to drink milk with their meals, as I do, not switching to Mayfield Nutrish if they are confident that their immune system will work better.
When we begin to inform more people about Mayfield Nutrish, we will provide links so they can read some of the research studies to better understand the power of this product.
