Description

500 mg. 150 capsules.

EpiCor is an all-natural nutritional health ingredient used in dietary supplements that helps support the immune system. It is a unique, complex ingredient comprised of protein, fiber, vitamins, amino acids, antioxidants, and other metabolites. Taken daily, EpiCor has been shown to be a safe and effective way to help support immune health and maintain wellness.*

There is no other ingredient like EpiCor on the market. Not an herb, vitamin or mushroom, EpiCor is an all natural yeast-based product manufactured through an advanced, multi-stage fermentation and drying process.

How EpiCor helps:

Unlike many other immune health ingredients on the market, EpiCor does not stimulate or “boost” the body’s immune system; it balances it. A balanced immune system makes the appropriate response at the right time. EpiCor is clinically proven to be a safe and effective way to help support immune health for year-round health and wellness. As with most things in life, balance is best.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. Has EpiCor™ been tested on the 1918 flu strain (a strain similar to the Bird Flu)?
We could never test EpiCor™ against the bird flu because that would make it a drug. Also, there isn’t any of the 1918 flu strain to test, it only lasted about 8 months world-wide before it disappeared.2. Can you tell if EpiCor™ helps to raise the CD4 count (not just only raising the CD4/CD8 ratio by decreasing CD8 count)?
In the pharmacokinetic study we did see it raise CD4.3. Can an individual with a yeast sensitivity or Candida albicans take EpiCor™ safely?
Of course. As you can appreciate, there is no similarity between S. cereviseae, which is pervasive in the food supply and air, and C. albicans, which is an opportunistic yeast that grows under ideal conditions in an individual who has a compromised immune system. If EpiCor™ would cause someone with a yeast sensitivity to have a reaction, then one would have to expect the entire world’s population to be reacting to this yeast, probably resulting in termination of the human species eons ago, because it is found in the air and eaten by billions of people every day.4. Since one species of Candida was killed, is there any evidence for C. Albicans?
We did not test C. albicans.5. Since EpiCor™ is immunostimulatory relative to CD4/CD8 cells, might it make allergy symptoms and responsiveness worse?
EpiCor™ is not immunostimulatory. It is an immune modulator. There seems to be some misunderstanding as to the definition of a stimulator and a modulator. EpiCor™ has been shown in the in vitro human peripheral lymphocytes assay not to cause mitosis.6. What is a good CD4/CD8 ratio? I am taking EpiCor and realized I do not know what I am trying to obtain.
It actually varies from person to person, yet it is agreed upon that helper cells should out number suppressor cells.

  • CD4 cells (sometimes called T-helper cells)
    These white blood cells help coordinate the various activities of your immune system. A normal CD4 cell count is about 600-1,500 cells. CD4 cell counts usually fall as HIV disease progresses.
  • CD8 cells (T-suppressor or killer T cells)
    There are two main types of CD8 cells. T-suppressor cells inhibit or suppress immune responses. Killer T cells attack (“kill”) cancerous cells and cells infected with viruses. A normal CD8 cell count is about 300–1,000 cells. CD8 cell counts usually rise over time in HIV+ people.
  • Above 500: People with CD4 counts above 500 cells usually have fairly normal immune function and are at low risk for opportunistic infections.
  • Below 350: Current U.S. government guidelines recommend that you should consider HIV treatment when your CD4 count falls below 350 cells.
  • Below 200: A person with a CD4 cell count below 200 cells is diagnosed as having AIDS. The guidelines recommend starting treatment at this point, if you have not already done so. This causes the CD4 count to decrease, usually by about 30 to 100 cells per year in most HIV+ people. As the CD4 count goes down, an HIV+ person becomes more likely to develop opportunistic infections and cancers.
  • Clinically, the way to look at CD4 and CD8 ratios for healthy individuals is to optimize ones own natural ratio.

7. Is it OK to keep EpiCor in the refrigerator since I usually keep my house at 80 degrees in the summer?
Refrigeration may cause some moisture problems

8. Is EpiCor better taken on an empty stomach or with food?
There is no conclusive evidence that EpiCor is better if taken with food.
