EpiCor is a unique and natural fermentation ingredient comprised of dozens of compounds and metabolites that work together to help strengthen your immune system by balancing immune response. In other words, it acts like a multivitamin for your immune system. Consumers are excited about EpiCor because it provides a range of immune strengthening benefits tested by science.

Unlike other immune ingredients that are concentrated extracts or chemically synthesized compounds, EpiCor is a natural complex ingredient that benefits the immune system in many ways. Multiple published human, animal and in vitro studies show that EpiCor has several modes of action that affect many aspects of immune system health. EpiCor helps strengthen your body’s natural defenses, shown in a sophisticated model to nourish the natural beneficial bacteria in your digestive tract and balances the immune system to appropriately respond when challenged.

When taken daily, EpiCor doesn’t just boost the immune system. It’s clinically shown to strengthen the immune system on four levels to better support your overall health and wellness.^{1,2,3,4,5,6,7}

1) Increasing sIgA (secretory Immunoglobulin A) Antibodies ^1,4,5

sIgA is the primary antibody found in mucus, tears, saliva, mother’s milk and other areas⁸. When pathogens get into your skin, eyes, mouth and mucus membranes, sIgA helps trap them before they cause harm⁹. EpiCor strengthens this first line of defense by helping increase sIgA in saliva.* By increasing  sIgA, EpiCor helps your body protect itself from environmental challenges all year long.^2,3

2) Increasing White Blood Cell (Natural Killer Cell) Activity⁵

NK cells are white blood cells that are to be fast and effective in seeking out and destroying infected cells at the initial occurrence¹⁰. NK cells are called “natural killer” because they don’t need to be activated by other cells to differentiate “good” cells from “bad” cells¹¹.This makes them quick to respond to keep your body healthy. EpiCor strengthens this second line of defense by helping increase Natural Killer (NK) cell activity in as little as two hours.* By increasing NK cell activity, EpiCor works rapidly to strengthen your immune system to help with daily challenges.*

3) Increasing Antioxidant Power⁵

Antioxidants circulate in your blood and tissues and help protect you from cellular oxidative damage, which may affect how your immune system works over time¹².  EpiCor strengthens this third line of defense by increasing antioxidant power in as little as two hours.* By increasing antioxidant power, EpiCor works in your body to help protect your cells.*

There are a lot of clinical studies about EpiCor in different areas. We believe EpiCor is the next Super Star for Immune-system.
