EpiCor

EpiCor

EpiCor is one of those great discoveries stumbled upon by happenstance. In 2004, company executives from a leading animal nutrition manufacturer, Diamond V, noticed that its employees had unusually low sick leave rates and fewer health insurance claims. Upon commissioning a study, it was discovered that those who worked directly with the animal product had increased natural killer (NK) cell activity, higher antioxidant levels and a better ratio of immune complexes.* Following extensive research and development, the ground-breaking, one-of-kind immune defense product, EpiCor, was born.

What is EpiCor?

EpiCor, Embria's flagship product, is a complex, nutrient-rich, dry fermentate that is created through a proprietary process. This unique ingredient is comprised of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants that work to nourish and balance the body's immune system.* When taken daily, EpiCor has been shown through clinical research to be a safe and effective way to help support the immune system, and can help people maintain wellness before health issues develop.*

How does EpiCor work?

Unlike many other immune health ingredients, EpiCor does not stimulate or "boost" the body's immune system. It works in a unique way to balance and "educate" the immune system so that it works efficiently to provide the proper immune response.* Supporting the body at the first level of immune defense, the innate immune system or mucosal barrier, EpiCor activates Natural Killer (NK) cells to help ward off foreign invaders.* For invaders that work their way past this first line of defense, research shows that EpiCor also works further down the line when the adaptive immune system kicks in by activating B cells, which support antibody production specific to the invading pathogen.* EpiCor is also a powerful antioxidant that further supports a healthy body by scavenging dangerous free radicals. Additionally, EpiCor possesses significant anti-inflammatory activity.

Most health-conscious consumers are aware that a strong, healthy immune system is critical for good health. With environmental pollution, mental stress, travel, physical stress, seasonal allergies and the even the normal aging process all wreaking havoc on the immune system, it's no wonder that people are looking for help. EpiCor is the solution - because when taken daily, it works to help balance and strengthen the immune system to keep good health in check.*
