The EpiCor® Rural Senior Health Project

ANKENY, Iowa—Natural ingredient manufacturer Embria® Health Sciences announced the kick-off of The EpiCor® Rural Senior Health Project, which will provide 4,000 senior citizens in rural areas of Iowa and Idaho with 20,000 bottles of the immune-balancing supplement EpiCor starting Oct. 28. Embria's partnership with non-profit organizations Nourish America and the National Foundation for Women Legislators (NFWL) will support seniors' immune health during the approaching cold and flu season through both wellness education as well as the donation of EpiCor, which has been clinically proven to reduce the number of sick days by 26 percent.
"The senior population is highly susceptible to colds and influenza, especially during the winter months," said Cheryl Sturm, director of marketing for Embria Health Sciences. "Embria is honored to join with Nourish America and NFWL in this humanitarian effort to provide seniors with the information and tools needed to stay well not only during the winter, but throughout the year."
The Project's first give-away event is Tuesday, Oct. 28 and Wednesday, Oct. 29 at the Shenandoah Historical Society Building in Shenandoah, Iowa from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. In addition to learning strategies for staying well this winter, up to 2,000 local seniors and their family members will receive a free five-month supply of EpiCor.
Starting Nov. 1, an additional 10,000 bottles of EpiCor will be distributed via select senior and community centers in rural areas throughout Idaho.
