Immune Formula’s main ingredient is a dried yeast fermentate known as the trademarked name EpiCor®. Unlike other supplements that are simple immune system boosters, EpiCor is a whole food supplement ingredient shown to naturally support a strong immune system in many beneficial ways.
Immune Armor: First Line of Defense. EpiCor helps strengthen your mucosal armor by enhancing the production of secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) levels in your saliva. sIgA is a key antibody in your saliva and other mucus membranes. sIgA antibodies are in our eyes, mouth, nose and other mucus membranes throughout our bodies to help trap pathogens before they may cause harm.
Immune Armor: Second Line of Defense. EpiCor helps support another level of immune armor by enhancing NK cell activity. NK cells are a type of white blood cell circulating in our blood and organs that are fast and effective in seeking out and destroying bad cells at the initial occurrence. NK cells are called “natural killer” because they don’t need help from other cells to differentiate “good” cells from “bad” cells. This makes them much quicker to respond to keep your body healthy.
Antioxidant Power: Antioxidants circulate in your blood and tissues and 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.
Gut Health: More and more people are taking gut support supplements to not only support their digestive systems, but also their immune systems. The digestive system plays a major role in the healthy function of your immune system. In fact, the tens of trillions of beneficial bacteria in your gut are an important part of keeping you healthy. To help your intestinal bacteria stay alive and thrive, they need fibers known as prebiotics, which are foods that nourish the beneficial bacteria. Prebiotics help the good bacteria, like bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, grow and multiply to help your gut stay healthy. EpiCor has been shown to act like a prebiotic in sophisticated digestive system models by increasing bifidobacteria and lactobacilli and the important short chain fatty acid called butyrate for gut health.
Our Immune Formula contains not only EpiCor, but also Elderberry Extract, Citrus Bioflavonoid Complex, and Astragalus Root as well as an enzyme activation system.
