Guest speaker Alexander G. Schauss, Ph.D., FACN, director of natural and medicinal products research for the AIBMR Life Sciences, Inc., will discuss the research surrounding Embria’s new immune health ingredient, EpiCor(tm).

"These research results support the safety and efficacy of this ingredient, which is paving the way for a new paradigm of immune health support," said Embria president, Paul Faganel. "This presentation will offer attendees a fresh outlook on the role immune support ingredients can play in maintaining wellness and strengthening immune response."

In addition to discussing the ingredient's composition and antioxidant activities, Dr. Schauss will report on the positive results of EpiCor's various toxicity and safety studies. He will also share the story of how the discovery of Cedar Rapids factory workers with unusually low sick rates led to EpiCor’s development. EpiCor is an all-natural, high-metabolite immunogen that is manufactured through MetaGen4(tm), a proprietary multi-stage fermentation and drying process.
