EpiCore - Never heard of it before but it looks amazing!

I am not sure if you were around a couple years ago when I was posting about all the immune system issues I was having, so let me give a rundown of it. About 5 years ago, I was on a business trip to Gurgaon India. I was

Not from personal experience, no. The best effects for me are 500mg every day in the morning. I add a second dose in the evening with astralagus, olive leaf extract, and a long-acting vitamin C complex if I feel any sick

500mg once per day. I know people are always hesitant about hype and snake oil. That's why I have not offered it until now. I wanted to give it a good 2 years of use before backing it; with different seasons, by itself,

I have taken it every day for 2 years now. I have not found any adverse interactions with anything, or side effects. If there was going to be an interaction, it would probably happen with all the things I trial. Haha

I take it on an empty stomach right when I wake up.

It got really bad for me too. I actually considered the possibility I had HIV. It was scary how sick I would get. Now I don't even think about it.

Indeed. The research surrounding exactly which strains are, and for what reason, is still sparse, though.

Unfortunately for patented products like these, the manufacturer sets strict pricing policies. It's the same for Bacognize, Sensoril, Longvida, etc. I have tried to haggle, but they know they are the only option; since t

I stopped the probiotic over a year ago. I even tried just taking the probiotic, and not the EpiCor. The EpiCor is the key for me personally. I have also told hundreds of people about it over the past couple years, and g

I hate our patent system too. Trust me, we are patenting compounds of our own right now, and the system is just mess. I wish I did not even have to patent them, but then you risk having everything stolen from you. It's d

Yeah, my web guy put all the quotes and wording on the email that was sent out. Normally I would write it, but I have been busy with other things. It does seem a bit overly hyped in the wording. Also, it's not my proprie

For some people probably. Since I don't have an appendix, and I was a pretty severe case, I take it every day. Not getting sick ever is worth it to me.

Comment · Wed, November 11, 2015 · 3 pts

I've heard that. I still would have liked to see it, though.

Comment · Wed, November 11, 2015 · 3 pts

Yeah, it was bad. I will probably never go back to India. EpiCor works best on a regular basis, because it prevents the pathogens from getting into your system. It's not one that you take just when you start feeling sic

That's probably a histamine reaction you are having. Do you have a normal immune system at baseline?

Comment · Wed, November 11, 2015 · 2 pts

Potentially, yes. However, I do not know your specific GI issues. So it would be hard to say for sure. http://ibshealth.net/epicor.html I have also heard reports from a bunch of people with IBS, that Tianeptine has com

Which vendor did you get good effects from, and which one gave you the side effects? I bought a bunch of them on the market, and ran some testing on them. A couple brands had other compounds in them in measurable amounts

Comment · Thu, November 12, 2015 · 2 pts

I have lots of plans. ;-) I am still deciding if Longvida is the best, or if another curcumin would be better. Longvida makes us agree to exclusivity, so I want to be sure before signing an agreement.

Yes, histamine is related to a lot of inflammation issues. I have a mast cell disorder too, and have to take Cetirizine daily to prevent all sorts of issues. Selank definitely has an immune modulating effect. It's stran

Quercetin and Bromelain does work. I use them occasionally as well. It's not a replacement for antihistamines, but helps.

Awesome! I am glad you were able to figure your issues out!

Comment · Fri, November 13, 2015 · 1 pts

Yeah, a lot of people report that when coming back to the US. I am not sure what it is in our food supply that does it.

I have not noticed that effect. How much did you take?

Comment · Sat, November 14, 2015 · 1 pts

I have tried a lot of things out there. The only thing that works 100% every time is Cetirizine. I do have to up my dose as the years go by, though. We still don't know exactly what causes the mast cell disorder.

Comment · Sat, November 14, 2015 · 1 pts

Yeah, that could very well be. Probiotics can do that initially, while they regulate your system. I took too large of a dose of my girlfriend's probiotic once, and I had the same horrible diarrhea. It goes away as your s

Shrillthrill sent me a list of a few other curcumin extracts that tested even better than Longvida. So I am looking into those too.

I found Udo's Choice to be a good one.

Comment · Tue, November 17, 2015 · 3 pts

There are a couple other lesser-known extracts that seemed to perform better in one study. So I am researching it deeper. If Verdure did not insist on exclusivity for us carrying Longvida, then I would have already done
