THE LEADER OF INNOVATIVE PROPRIETARY INGREDIENTS WITH PROVEN PERFORMANCE

Embria® Health Sciences believes the synergy between science and nature is limitless. Pursing effective, innovative, meaningful health solutions derived from nature, Embria is dedicated to bringing high-quality, well-researched, science-driven ingredients to the global human nutrition market for use in a variety of dietary supplements and functional foods and beverages.

Main Products
Embria’s flagship all-natural product, EpiCor®, is designed to help keep the immune system balanced.  Developed upon the discovery of factory workers’ unusually low sick rates, EpiCor has recently been the focus of several clinical studies, which have found it helps the body balance the immune system by:

  • Activating crucial defense cells (Natural Killer, T- and B-cells);
  • Decreasing the incidence of certain symptoms commonly associated with seasonal allergies;
  • Reducing the incidence and duration of cold and flu-like symptoms; and
  • Increasing IL-10, an anti-inflammatory marker.

Researched to be safe, EpiCor is certified as kosher by the Orthodox Union and is produced using materials sourced in the Americas. EpiCor holds a GRAS designation of up to 3 grams per serving in all food categories. Clinical research on EpiCor has been published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, Advances in Therapy , Urologic Nursing and The Open Nutrition Journal and presented at the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) Conference and the American College of Nutrition (ACN) Symposium.

eXselen® is a highly bioavailable organic selenium yeast that guarantees consistently high levels of selenomethionine, the preferred form of selenium known for its rapid and efficient absorption by the human body. eXselen meets Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs), is certified as kosher and has been laboratory tested for purity, potency and consistency. Embria holds Nutrition Business Journal’s product merit award for eXselen.

Proprietary Technology
EpiCor is manufactured using MetaGen4™, a proprietary, multi-stage fermentation and drying technology.  Containing protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants and other metabolites that deliver nutritional benefits, EpiCor has been clinically shown to support immune health.
