CRAIG MALTBY
– Editorial Manager
Hi. I’m Craig Maltby, a communications professional and an avid believer in improved health through supplementation. For several years I was a consumer communications and product manager for the natural carotenoid lutein, a key nutritional agent supporting long-term eye health.
I initiated the idea for a community website based on the concept of Balanced Immune Health after reviewing scientific literature and consumer trend stories on new developments involving the human immune system, and how immune performance impacts many areas of health and wellness. I was also familiar with several trials and lab findings Embria Health Sciences has been assembling on immune balance through application of a food-grade nutritional ingredient, a dried fermentate commercially produced under the trade name “EpiCor.”
Right now, my daily supplement regimen consists of fish oil (1000 mg), lutein (6-12 mg), chromium (.2 mg), and EpiCor (500 mg). And a semi-regular dose of red wine and/or unfiltered beer. I’m seriously thinking about adding a separate Vitamin D supplement as well, since there is mounting evidence suggesting the current RDA for Vitamin D may not be nearly enough. I’m sure my regimen has helped in my daily life with two teenage daughters, a career wife, and weekends that are no longer my own.
Embria Health Sciences pays me a fee to create content for and maintain BalancedImmuneHealth.com.
