Epicor is a fermentate of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae or Baker’s yeast. This nutritive belongs to the unique classification of a high metabolite immunogen due to its immune-supportive properties. Epicor works by supporting cellular metabolism and other intracellular processes that modulates immune function. In vitro tests showed that it activates the Natural Killer (NK) cells.

Adults take 1 capsule daily with or without food.

As an immune-supportive compound, Epicor naturally strengthens immune system functions. The immune support ability of epicor is particularly beneficial during extreme weathers, especially the winter when infections affecting the respiratory tract increase its occurrence. An epicor dietary supplement is also a good alternative for people with impaired immune functions like those with existing health problems, autoimmune disorders, post-surgery patients, and the elderly. According to researchers, Epicor is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, mono unsaturated fatty acids, and polyunsaturated fatty acids. In addition, it also contains the free-radical fighting antioxidants phytosterols and phenols, like trans-resveratrol and catechins. Squalene, another powerful antioxidant that is thought to be exclusively found in sharks and other plant species is also found in this yeast fermentate. Epicor studies also concluded that epicor supplements may offer protection against coliform bacteria and candida fungi. The E.coli bacteria is a coliform which is the most common cause of diarrhea and other infections affecting the digestive tract, as well as most of UTIs (Urinary Tract Infections). Also, Epicor supplements may help restore the natural mucosal flora in the gut for overall intestinal health.

Epicor is the end product of the fermentation of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast, also known as the brewer’s or baker’s yeast. This nutritional supplement belongs to the unique classification of a high metabolite immunogen because of its unique blend of powerful natural nutrients that modulate the functions of the immune system. It was in 2004 when the studies on the health promoting properties of epicor began in a company called Diamond V in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The company was a manufacturer of a fermentation product derived from the Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast. This yeast is the kind used in baking and brewing of beer, which makes it famous for its other names as “Baker’s yeast” or ‘Brewer’s yeast”. The first study on the Saccharomyces cerevisiae benefits was initiated after the company observed that the workers in their plant have lower sick leave rates and significantly lesser health insurance claims compared to workers in other companies of the same size. Diamond V commissioned a study that concluded that their workers who are in constant contact with the yeast have more active immune system causing their minimal sick periods. From this initial finding, many other researches have been conducted leading to the discovery of the epicor dietary supplement. Doctor’s Best Epicor contains pure dried yeast fermentate for maximum immune system modulation.
