Old Mill Goods has entered the functional food market with a unique proposition — a line of müesli blends specifically formulated to support women's health throughout different phases of their menstrual cycle. Drawing inspiration from historical Swiss nutrition traditions and fictional healer 'Nurse Abigail,' the brand combines heritage storytelling with modern nutritional science to create products that stand out in the crowded breakfast category.
Old Mill Goods' Heritage Collection features four distinct varieties, each tailored to address specific nutritional needs during the menstrual, follicular, ovulation, and luteal phases through ingredients like dark chocolate for cramp relief, lemon zest for estrogen support, and walnuts for PMS ease. Beyond cycle support, the müesli incorporates probiotics and prebiotics for gut health while maintaining a focus on whole, minimally processed ingredients.
