Raena Morgan: Hello, we’re visiting with Dr. Stuart Reeves, the Director of Research and
Development at Embria Health Sciences. Dr. Reeves, we’re talking about
EpiCor. Now, the worker in the plant—was there just one supplement that
was being manufactured, or was there more than one thing that was
causing them to have such a good immune response?
Dr. Stuart Reeves: There were several products being manufactured in the plant at the time—
several animal products. What we had to do was develop a production
method and a specialized fermentation and drying technology that would
take the parts of those products that were affecting the animal’s immune
system and produce something that would affect the human immune
system, and furthermore, something that could be taken in small, regular
doses and have a positive, long term effect.
Raena Morgan: Is there a recommended dosage for the workers?
Dr. Stuart Reeves: For human beings—for EpiCor—we suggest 500 milligrams a day. That’s
basically one small capsule every day. And, it’s something that has a long
term effect. It takes a few weeks for its effect to be fully established and if
you stop taking it the effect goes away. So, basically, it’s a capsule a day,
12 months a year.
Raena Morgan: Do you recommend that all of the employees at Embria take EpiCor?
Dr. Stuart Reeves: We don’t recommend. We do, however, supply it free to all the
employees. And, obviously most of them take advantage of this because
within the company it’s known that we are getting good health benefits
from it. In fact, there are other local companies that have contacted us
through their worker’s wellness programs to ask about the benefits, and
whether they should be taking it? And, the companies love it because it
has the potential of reducing their health insurance.
Raena Morgan: Well, that’s pretty exciting!
Dr. Stuart Reeves: Oh yes! One of the things that was most exciting for the company about
this was the financial savings that could be accrued through exposure to
this product. And not only finance, your workers are healthier, your
workers are happier—there’s less disruptions over the course of a year.
Raena Morgan: Well, thank you Dr. Reeves. We’ll visit again.
Dr. Stuart Reeves: My pleasure.
