Facts and Functions
EpiCor is an all-natural nutritional dietary health supplement that helps support the immune system. EpiCor is a fermented form of a species of yeast called Saccharaomyces cerevisiae, which is the main source of nutritional yeast and yeast extract. This yeast is rich in amino acids, vitamins, and enzymes. EpiCor strengthens the immunity in four ways. First, it increases Immunoglobulin A levels in eyes, mouth, nose and other areas to trap germs before they cause harm. Second, it increases NK “natural killer” cell activity. NK cells are a type of white blood cell that seek and destroy bad cells. Third, antioxidants in it help protect from cellular oxidative damage, which may affect how your immune system works over time. Published research shows that EpiCor helps strengthen your immune armor by increasing antioxidant power in as little as two hours. Fourth, Epicor contains prebiotics, which are foods that nourish the beneficial bacteria like bifidobacteria and lactobacilli in the gut.
Taken daily, EpiCor has been shown to support immune health and maintain wellness.
Discovery Story
In the late 1800’s C.W. Bloomhall, a young boy who lived on a family farm, noticed that animals fed table scraps fermented with sour milk seemed healthier than animals fed simple grains alone. Later he founded Diamond V to create a yeast culture as an immune modulator that would improve the health and productivity of livestock. Then management noticed that the company’s actual health care claims were lower than other companies of the same size and region.They also wondered why factory workers were taking fewer sick days than their colleagues working in the office.
