Doctor’s Best – Epicor
What is Epicor?
EpiCor is produced entirely from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, following the patented MetaGen4 process. The culture is provided with ample oxygen for optimal growth, then at the point where it is most healthy the oxygen level is reduced. This stresses the culture and it responds adaptively, producing protective anti-stress metabolites. The yeast cells and culture liquid are then harvested, dried, and standardized into EpiCor using rigorous bioanalysis and other quality assurance protocols.
How does it work?
Its diverse array of beneficial metabolites sets EpiCor apart from other Saccharomyces products. EpiCor contains phospholipids, unsaturated fatty acids, flavonoids and other natural polyphenols, phytosterols, beta-glucans, mannan, oligosaccharides, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. It also has excellent antioxidant activity, typically scoring 450-650 in the Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) assay (hydrophilic). After four RCT (double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials) EpiCor (500 mg taken once daily) is confirmed to produce consistent, clinically important immune benefits. Those subjects taking EpiCor experienced significantly superior immune function than did those taking placebo. The human studies on EpiCor taken together with the animal and other experimental studies strongly indicate it has beneficial immune balancing effects. The healthy immune system is normally in a delicate balance between over-activation and under-activation. Epicor’s rare capacity to both down-regulate and up-regulate specific immune pathways is consistent with its overall support for healthy immunity.
Why take EpiCor?
EpiCor is an all-natural dietary supplement for stimulating the immune system. This novel supplement is a high metabolite immunogen, a complex blend of nutrients Epicor is a natural immune-supportive compound that fits into the unique category of being a high metabolite immunogen. EpiCor is a nutritive dried yeast fermentate that supports cellular metabolism and modulates immune function. Epicor also is a likely prebiotic, and may be able to improve probiotic balance by helping “friendly” bacteria thrive in the intestine. When EpiCor or a “placebo” (cellulose) was added to probiotic bacteria in culture, EpiCor significantly increased the numbers of friendly Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria compared to the placebo.

Doctor’s Best Epicor is the first Epicor brand I tried and was happy with the quality ingredients. Since yeast is beneficial for immunity, I plan to make this my regular go-to.

EpiCor is a wonderful supplement and the story of its discovery is amazing. I seriously doubt the brand makes much difference but always read the labels to be sure.

I read about Epicor and its positive effects on the immune system. So I decided to try this brand. I use a lot of Doctor’s Best products and trust the brand. It was reasonably priced compared to other brands. It’s easy to take and comes with a decent supply per bottle. It’s just hard to say if it really made a difference. I haven’t bought it again, but it might be noticeably effective for another person.

Smell and taste like other epicor yeasts. Well packaged in the bottle. However the epicor was initially in powder in capsule. After a month of opening this bottle, the powder has hardened. I don’t know if it’s related to high humidity in Malaysia or if I have to store them in the fridge. Once hardened, will it still work?

love the fact that it helps normalize my cholesterol levels, and by its great power in helping me have enough strength and energy to survive, my work is no doubt awesome, other than that it important that this supplement is there to support my immune system.

have been using it for 12 years and it has kept me healthy without colds or respiratory infections and I had them years ago at least twice a year. Has proven to be very effective and I will continue to use it throughout my life.

Another favourite, we’ve had several bottles over the past few months and the effects have been impressive. Few products have such remarkable effects. Now that it is necessary to improve the immune system, I found this excellent option. Super recommended. Big advantages. Excellent quality at a great price. Superior quality.

I had the immune system of a dirty doorknob. This has helped me a lot in narrowing down my capture of everything going on!

It made me feel sick for a week so I left them, not sure if it was that or the mix with other suplements but wasn’t good for me 🙁
