EpiCor Supporting Research

Immune Health Ingredient with a Safe History

Unusually low sick leave rates over several decades in employees working in a fermentation facility that produces an animal nutrition product, led to a theory that their exposure to the product might have important immune-enhancing properties. Based on this observation, studies were designed to assess the potential of this ingredient as an immune health dietary supplement for humans, and after a significant investment in research that led to positive results supporting both its safety and efficacy, EpiCor was born.

Research Overview:

Research to date demonstrates that EpiCor works to enhance innate immunity by:

• increasing levels of secretory IgA, which supports the human mucousal barrier*;
• supporting the adaptive immune system by activating natural killer (NK) cells and human B cells;
• being a powerful antioxidant with an ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity) value of 52,500/100g, thus providing
  additional health benefits as a free radical scavenger;
• possessing significant anti-inflammatory properties.

Extensive safety studies performed on EpiCor confirm that it is non-toxic, non-mutagenic, non-mitogenic, non-cytotoxic and pesticide free. This means that EpiCor is safe to take on an ongoing, daily basis.* These studies also support that EpiCor does not affect drug-metabolizing enzymes, which indicate that interaction is unlikely between EpiCor and over-the-counter and prescription drugs.*

So EpiCor is the perfect choice for consumers looking for a way to stay healthy year round. With an ongoing commitment to research, we are confident that you'll find EpiCor to be a safe, effective addition to your nutritional dietary supplement program.
