What is AHCC®?

It’s a nutritional supplement that comes from certain species of basidiomycetes, a class of mushrooms including the shiitake (Lentinus edodes). Used for their medicinal purposes in traditional Chinese medicine, mushrooms are becoming a more and more common sight on the shelves of your local pharmacy. The shiitake variety, originating from Japan, is the basis for AHCC® supplements and contains a variety of minerals, amino acids, and polysaccharides. AHCC® is one of the most researched supplements for immune health and has been supported by over 30 human clinical studies. It’s even been backed by Ivy League schools and major health centers!

What are its benefits?

We all know the importance of a healthy immune system. When it’s down, we are much more susceptible to viruses and diseases. When it’s overactive, it can start to attack our body. To maintain a functioning balanced immune system you’ll need to follow all the steps: exercise, eat healthy, sleep well and so on. But what if you need a little extra boost? Instead of reaching for the typical dose of Vitamin C or echinacea, research is pointing to AHCC®. The power of this compound lies in the mushroom’s polysaccharides, which exert beneficial effects on immune cells in test tube models and are known to have immunomodulatory effects. Additionally, AHCC® has been shown to:

  • Maintain optimal natural killer (NK) cell activity by as much as 300-800%*
  • Promote levels of T cells by as much as 200%*
  • Increase populations of macrophages, in some cases doubling them*
  • Enhance cytokine production*
  • Increase the number and activity of dendritic cells*

TALK TO US

Even if you can’t tell your NK cells from T cells, you’ll be happy to know that AHCC® has been shown to significantly increase the activity of certain white blood cells, which account for about 1% of our cells but are highly important for protecting against illness and disease. Whether you feel your immune system is doing its job or you could use an extra boost, adding an AHCC® supplement is useful in increasing your defenses.Think of it as an extra immune power to help you stay well.*
