EpiCor Discovered In Animal Feed...Providing Vital Immune Defence To Your Body
EpiCor...what is it?
What has it got to do with antioxidants?
Curious? Read on....
It was discovered purely by accident. A health insurance company noticed that employees of a leading US manufacturer of animal nutrition products were experiencing unusually lower sick leave rates and were also filing fewer claims compared to other companies of similar size.
What was actually happening was that the workers were coming into contact with the fermented yeast culture (manufactured for its animals) through airborne particles. These workers, unusually, were just not getting ill.
Naturally, the company drafted in a research group to thoroughly test and check everything out.
The ingredient that took their attention was an end product of fermentation of baker's yeast-Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
After extensive research including monitoring the yeasts effects, its safety etc..and interviewing numerous members of the production facility staff, some interesting stories were revealed of people suffering from colds and flu regularly before employment with the company, then suddenly, since joining, no more colds and flu...amazing!
At this point I must stress that only one study has been published on EpiCor and it's immune-boosting properties so far... more results to follow...but initial findings are really promising, too promising to be ignored.
Packed With Health-Giving Nutrients And A Free Radical Fighter Too
This team of researchers disected EpiCors composition. This is what they found....
An excellent profile of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. All of the essential vitamins and minerals were present along with trace elements.
Now here is the good bit..they also discovered that it contained compounds known to exert
free radical
fighting activity (don't we hate those free radicals?) such as phytosterols and phenolics, including catechins and trans resveratrol.
Suprisingly they found compounds such as squalene, which is only found in a very few plant species...and sharks!
Now, given the fact that there are lots of high profile substances that exert antioxidant activity, its antioxidant potential had to be investigated further.
Remember our
ORAC list ?
Well EpiCor was found to have greater antioxidant activity than
blueberries
...and they are known for their high levels.
Epi cor is causing a lot of excitement in the medical world in helping the immune-system against chronic diseases such as
cancer.
Let's pause for a moment and watch this simple animation (just over 4 minutes) which clearly explains how EpiCor balances immune health.
Epi-cor can also strengthen the immune system's ability to defend against viral, bacterial and pesky parasitical invaders.
Epi-Cor defends your immune system in a number of ways. It has anti-inflammatory abilities. This is good news as
inflammation
has been linked to a number of chronic diseases, such as heart disease.
Furter studies have shown epi-cor to be effective in reducing the growth of the E.coli bacteria and Candida tropicalis. Also it is known to support the growth of desirable mucosal flora in the intestinal tract.
So...What Is The Dosage For Epicor?
Recommended dosage for epi cor is 500mg once a day. And the good news is that tests have shown it to be safe to take.
So...quite a discovery here. If you want to follow the progress of Epi Cor and keep right up to date with fresh news and information then
