Raena Morgan: So how is EpiCor made?
Dr. Larry Robinson: It’s a fermentation product, so you start with simple brewer’s or baker’s
yeast, you grow it up to a yeast cream and then it undergoes a proprietary
process where we add certain nutrients—and these nutrients are
transformed under stress into these nutritious products, or metabolites that
I mentioned before. Then the entire fermentation broth is dried down to a
powder. So, it’s not just baker’s yeast. It’s the baker’s yeast plus the
metabolites and nutrients it’s produced in the fermentation broth. That’s
dried down to a powder.
Raena Morgan: And it also has vitamins and minerals in it?
Dr. Larry Robinson: Absolutely. It’s very rich in vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants
and many other compounds. Including some compounds that you might
not expect—that we found something called polyphenolics, which are a
common complex group of chemicals that include things you may have
heard of, from green tea, EGCG; and the red wine that makes you healthy,
the tranresveratrol; and many other types of compounds—way too
numerous to mention in this interview, unfortunately.
