However, we have NOT looked at TNF-alpha in any human clinical. We have looked at artificially induced inflammation in animal trials, and EpiCor had a strong anti-inflammatory effect in these two trials" HI Jason: Here is an additional thought from Dr. Stuart Reeves, research and development director at Embria Health Sciences, the manufacturer of EpiCor:

I’m going to take a stab at the first part of your question and say that regarding EpiCor, to the best of my knowledge, no peer-reviewed, journal-published research has addressed the concept of EpiCor and a possible therapeutic effect on ulcerative colitis. As for tumor necrosis factor (TNF), I will get an Embria scientist to respond. Be watching this post and comments section for that response. Or, I may just make a blog post out of the answer as well. If you’d like, I’m glad to email you the response as well. I am unfamiliar with Moducare, and a quick search shows me it’s derived from pine-based plant sterols. This is different than the EpiCor raw material and process, which relies on a unique multinutrient natural fermentate coupled with a proprietary culture growth and drying process that renders the final ingredient.

I know this product " modulates" the immune system but would it be theraputic to take. Does this product modulate inflammatory markers ie. TNF-a? Also why is your product different than " Moducare" which they also claim it modulates? Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you Jason Is Epicor wise to take if you have Ulcerative Colitis?
