A high-potency form of AHCC® -- Active Hexose-Correlated
Compound -- natural immune support from medicinal
mushrooms that have uniquely
bioactive, low-molecular-weight molecules.
AHCC is a proprietary compound produced by cultivation
and enzymatic modification of several species of mushroom
mycelia, including shiitake, grown in rice bran
extract. Considered a superfood supplement in
Japan, AHCC has been researched extensively for its
effects on the immune system. AHCC can be used to
promote a healthy immune system and support the healthy
functioning of the liver, as well as act as an
antioxidant.
Medicinal mushrooms and their extracts have been
reported in scientific literature to have a variety of
biological effects that include immunomodulation,
antitumor properties, and beneficial influences on blood
sugar regulation, serum lipids, and blood pressure.
AHCC is rich in nutrients (alpha glucans) and dietary
fiber, and is known to have immune-supporting
benefits. AHCC is created by reacting specific
enzymes with several species of the medicinal mushrooms
Basidiomycetes, and then performing a
patented process of cultivation, enzymatic decomposition,
sterilization, concentration, and freeze-drying.
The special ingredients in AHCC that are obtained from
this unique cultivation method cannot be found in typical
mushrooms. The main advantage of this cultivation
method is that it breaks down nutrients into a more
absorbable form.
Its small molecular
weight means that the potent nutrients in AHCC can be
assimilated quickly by the white blood cells for
immediate use in destruction of tumors or strengthening
of the body's immune system.
AHCC has been used to fight a variety of serious
immune deficiencies, including cancer, heart disease,
hepatitis, and AIDS. Potential uses for AHCC
include chronic fatigue, Lyme disease, fibromyalgia,
osteoarthritis, allergies, asthma, and many other
inflammatory responses that are influenced in the body by
the immune system.
AHCC has proven to be an important supplement in
helping to reduce inflammation, to reduce oxidative
damage, and to fortify the immune system. Since
most diseases can be traced to a breakdown in immune
function, it stands to reason that AHCC should be
considered a first line of defense in a variety of
different disease states.
