I’ve written in this blog about food and beverage brands that are formulating products with immune balance benefits as the primary calling card for the brand. Ensure’s product lineup includes a recently-launched Immune Balance variety touting nutrients to support balanced immune health. AgroLabs just introduced Superfruit immune health shot including EpiCor to support immune health. [...]
The Huffington Post is one of my favorite news portals, simply because it offers so much in one place. From time to time I check in with its health section to see what’s being written. I like it because the story headlines have a little attitude and the pictures kind of pull you in. Beyond [...]
A high school classmate of mine is now a music professor at Florida State. He wrote on his Facebook page the other day that a lot of his students “are dropping like flies” due to cold/flu/flu-like illness. I’ve got my two college kids set up with 2 months of EpiCor.

The story headline describes the study as ”boosting” the [...]
One of the Tweeps I follow on Twitter is Kristy Mills, a naturopathic physician-in-training in Laguna Niguel, CA. Kristy just posted something on her blog that I thought was a pretty good read: “12 Steps to Save America with Nutrition.” Actually, she posted this last year, but recently tweeted that it still holds true today.

AgroLabs has introduced a new immune health liquid shot called Superfruit Immune Boost. It contains EpiCor and ispackaged in a 3 oz. shot bottle, kind of like those 5 Hour Energy drinks. You can get them at Costco. AgroLabs specializes in “liquid nutrition.” You should see their product lineup. Everything from cranberry omega 3 to wheat [...]
A story in last week’s New York Times got me..and scores of others, I’m sure…thinking about our wired world. The story described new research showing the brain needs downtime, away from constant stimulus. This was illustrated in studies at The University of California San Francisco and the University of Michigan. The story discusses the growing [...]
