Postbiotic Fermentates: The Next Disruptor in Gut Health
02.26.20
Wednesday, February 26th, 2020 | 11:00 AM ET
Postbiotics may be new to the natural products industry but with increased stability and consistency, they could be the next “it” ingredient in gut and immune health. Postbiotics are the beneficial metabolites and nutrients created by fermentation or growth of the live microorganisms which are subsequently dried into a powder that is easily characterized, studied and formulated into supplements.
EpiCor is a postbiotic made through a specialized fermentation process which creates a unique compound that has a wealth of science showing immune benefits. Emerging research on EpiCor also shows that it helps modulate the gut microbiota.
Sign up for this webinar to learn more about postbiotics and how EpiCor can help differentiate your gut health products.

Next Generation Prebiotic Technology
11.13.19
NOW AVAILABLE ON-DEMAND
Evidence has been mounting showing the value of prebiotics in supporting the structure and function of the microbiota, and the concept of synbiosis has been shown by researchers to be effective in creating, restoring and sustaining that beneficial balance.
The scientists at Deerland have developed a unique prebiotic bacteriophage blend that modulates the microbiota and begins to work within hours after ingestion. Dr. John Deaton will present the findings of a recently published clinical study which shows that the phage cocktail of PreforPro supports gut microbiota proliferation and reduces other biochemical markers, strengthening the body of evidence to make a claim of symbiotic efficacy, and to promote growth of good bacteria.
Main Topics:
