Why Immune Drinks Matter in Fall & Winter
The seasons shift not just outdoors but inside your body. Reduced sunlight, cooler air, more indoor gatherings, and holiday stress all challenge immunity. Having a go-to beverage that delivers supportive compounds (vitamin C, antioxidants, anti-inflammatory agents) can offer a consistent edge. When you layer that with a scientifically studied immune supplement like AHCC®, you give your body both external and internal support.*
AHCC® can be added to any of the below recipes by opening the capsules and stirring it in. If you prefer to take the capsules alongside the drink, this is the perfect ritual to create your supplement regimen with an added immune booster.

½ tsp turmeric powder
-
½ tsp fresh grated ginger (or ¼ tsp ground)

Pinch of black pepper

1 serving AHCC® capsules (open and empty into the drink or taken alongside)
