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\u003csup\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e is a fermentate of \u003cem\u003eSaccharomyces cerevisiae\u003c\/em\u003e containing various bioactive metabolites. These nutrient metabolites are produced in a specialized fermentation process and enhance immune cell production. In one cellular study, EpiCor\u003csup\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e promoted natural killer cell activation, as well as that of B cells and T cells. In two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials, EpiCor\u003csup\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e provided statistically significant support for upper respiratory tract health and overall immune health. A separate open label, in-house trial indicated a strong potential for EpiCor\u003csup\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e supplementation to enhance secretory IgA levels after 30 days. These various actions demonstrate the ability of EpiCor\u003csup\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e to address both innate and adaptive immune responses. NAC (n-acetyl-l-cysteine) promotes endogenous glutathione production for antioxidant protection and provides lung defense mechanisms for healthy respiratory function. In a randomized double-blind trial involving mostly older individuals, NAC showed support for respiratory health. Quercetin and elderberry provide flavonoids that offer additional support for immune and respiratory function while vitamin C, vitamin D and zinc play important roles in immune cell activation.\u003csup\u003e‡\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003csup\u003e‡\u003c\/sup\u003eThese statements have not been evaluated by the Food \u0026amp; Drug Administration.
