They respond more quickly than the adaptive immune system comprised of B cells and T cells. Once activated, natural killer cell activity peaks in as quickly as several hours, providing rapid support and wide-range immune defense. EpiCor\u00ae\u00a0is a fermentate of\u00a0Saccharomyces cerevisiae\u00a0containing various bioactive metabolites. These nutrient metabolites are produced in a specialized fermentation process and enhance immune cell production. Research suggests that EpiCor\u00ae\u00a0enhances natural killer cell activation, B cell and T cell function, and secretory IgA levels.1\u00a0In two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials, EpiCor\u00ae\u00a0provided statistically significant support for upper respiratory tract health and overall immune health.2,3\u00a0A separate open label, in-house trial indicated a strong potential for EpiCor\u00ae\u00a0supplementation to enhance secretory IgA levels after 30 days. In another trial, EpiCor\u00ae\u00a0helped maintain a healthy immune response to environmental factors.4\u00a0Elderberry extract provides anthocyanins, flavonoids, and other polyphenols that support immune function. Studies have shown statistically significant immune support in both children and adults.5,6\u00a0Preliminary research suggests quercetin helps to moderate the release of immune mediators, including cytokines and histamine.7,8\u00a0Zinc and vitamin C help to promote immune defense by supporting immune cell proliferation, activation and function, as well as healthy antioxidant enzyme function.9<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u5f15\u7528<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>\n<li>Jensen GS, et al.\u00a0J Med Food.\u00a02015 Mar;18(3):378-84.<\/li>\n<li>Moyad MA, et al.\u00a0Urol Nurs.\u00a02008 Feb;28(1):50-5.<\/li>\n<li>Talbott SM, et al.\u00a0J Am Coll Nutr.\u00a02012 Aug;31(4):295-300.<\/li>\n<li>Moyad MA, et al.\u00a0Adv Ther.\u00a02009 Aug;26(8):795-804.<\/li>\n<li>Zakay-Rones Z, et al.\u00a0J Altern Complement Med.\u00a01995 Winter;1(4):361-9.<\/li>\n<li>Tiralongo E, Wee SS, Lea RA.
