companies do because that is very costly and our company could not afford that. It costs millions to do scientific tests. However, what I can tell you is that the ingredients in our formula are all herbs known to increase milk supply in nursing mothers and we have not actually done anything novel other than combining the herbs successfully with noni which is known for its many health benefits. We actually grow the noni in our own farm. I can say sincerely that for the past two years women have been using this product and reporting only positive results and no complaints. The ingredients are the following, all well known herbs, as you can see: Noni (leaves) * Cardamom (seed) * Marshmallow herb (root) * Fennel (seed) * Fenugreek (seed) If you have further questions do not hesitate to write again.

IBCLC, RLC Sent: Thursday, October 19, 2006 12:13 PMTo: gila@...Subject: need more specifics Hello, In response to your email to me, a lactation consultant, I need to know more about your product for nursing mothers. Particularly, what are the

exact ingredients? Who has tested them? Do you have published studies with conclusive findings that prove your product is useful and significant? Merely promising "lots of smiles and praises" is not enough to suggest one use any product. I could make the same case for drinking alcoholic drinks, but that doesn't mean it's good for the body. Additionally, it would be unethical for me to recommend a product targeted for use by nursing mothers with no scientific data to back up the claims. I'm looking forward to your response. I always am open to new conclusively effective therapies. Thanks, lee
