SAFETY IS PRIORITY

At Cargill, we want people to live healthy lives. That’s why producing safe and high-quality supplement ingredients like EpiCor® postbiotic is an absolute priority for us. EpiCor® postbiotic has several published human clinical trials and a series of safety studies published in the International Journal of Toxicology.

Not only do we have the science for safety, EpiCor® postbiotic is made in the USA in a state-of the-art facility located in Ankeny, Iowa. Our facility follows all current Good Manufacturing Practices, which is regularly certified by NSF. There is also a HACCP plan in place for the production of EpiCor® postbiotic.

EpiCor® postbiotic is also Non-GMO Project Verified, Self-affirmed GRAS, Vegan, Gluten-Free, OU Kosher, BSE/TSE-Free and Halal. The combined research, high-quality manufacturing facilities, certification and designations support that EpiCor® postbiotic is safe for consumption by healthy adults and children.
