EpiCor has undergone eight human clinical trials, all of which have been published in peer-reviewed scientific journals and have used a standard dose of 500 mg per day. Six of the eight trials conform to the “gold standard” of clinical design in that they were randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trials. Results show that EpiCor strengthens the immune system while it balances immune response; and significant measurable results can be seen in as little as two hours. Human clinical trials include:
