From 12:45 to 2:45 p.m. in Exhibit Hall ABC of the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Robinson will be on-hand to discuss three published, double blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trials of EpiCor that have demonstrated a consistent ability to function as an immune modulating agent by significantly reducing common cold/flu-like and allergic rhinitis symptoms.

Embria Health Sciences flagship ingredient, EpiCor, is an all-natural product that helps the body balance the immune system and is manufactured using a proprietary technology. EpiCor contains protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants and other metabolites that deliver nutritional benefits and support immune health. Clinical studies have found EpiCors immune-balancing properties provide year-round support by helping the body boost or suppress immune response as needed.

In 2010, EpiCor was the first immune health ingredient to receive the SupplySide West Scientific Excellence Award, in recognition of the compelling clinical studies published in peer-reviewed publications such as the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, Advances in Therapy and Urologic Nursing.

Taking place from April 9 to April 13, the FASEB Experimental Biology Annual features lectures, pre-meeting workshops, oral and posters sessions, on-site career services and exhibits of equipment, supplies and publications required for research labs and experimental study. This annual meeting is comprised of nearly 13,000 scientists and exhibitors representing six sponsoring societies and 16 guest societies. General fields of study include anatomy, pathology, biochemistry, molecular biology, investigative pathology, nutrition, pharmacology and immunology.
