EpiCor™ is a revolutionary dietary ingredient
that is creating an entirely new category of immune health
products. It is an all-natural, high-metabolite
immunogen that nourishes the body's immune system.
There is no other material like EpiCor on the
market. Not an herb, vitamin or mushroom, EpiCor is
an all-natural yeast-based product that is manufactured
through an advanced, multi-stage fermentation and drying
process.
EpiCor was born when an unusually low incidence of
health problems and use of sick leave was discovered
among a group of employees working at an animal feed
fermentation plant in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The
discovery was made when the company became
self-insured. Year-to-year health care expenditures
defied actuarial/underwriter estimates of how much money
the company needed to set aside to cover anticipated
health care expenditures for its employees.
Reduction in time lost due to illness improved the
company's profitability and turnover. With minimal
increases in health premiums each year, amounting to an
enviable 0-3 percent per year increase that was
extraordinarily low for companies in America, the company
was able to reduce cash demands for its self-insurance
fund.
The possibility existed that the ingredient the employees
were handling in this animal feed production facility
might explain their unusually low rate of illness, and
this led to the company's request to have AIBMR Life
Sciences visit the facility and conduct an open-ended
investigation into the ingredient's composition.
