Why Kinoko®️ 50+ AHCC®️
Immunity declines over time, starting at a surprisingly young age.
After age 20, the body makes very few new T cells and focuses on keeping its existing T cells alive. That’s a concern, because T cells’ job is to recognize past invaders, so you’re prepared the next time they come around. Preserving T cell function is therefore one of the most important ways to keep your immune response strong.*
That’s not the only change. Older adults also take longer to mount an immune response when they are exposed to a new immune challenge. Sadly, that response is less fine-tuned — and therefore effective — than during the younger years.
Kinoko®️ 50+ AHCC®️ combines two clinically proven immune ingredients to provide advanced immune support for anyone who needs it — particularly for those over 50.* Unlike some immune supplements, which are not appropriate for long-term use Kinoko®️ 50+ AHCC®️ is safe to take every day.

our ingredients
AHCC® is an extensively studied, award-winning immune ingredient made from cultured mushroom mycelia (roots). It’s rich in easy-to-absorb, low-molecular-weight alpha glucans. One study showed that AHCC® stimulated T cell function in adults 50+.* Another found it increased dendritic cells, white blood cells that help T cells do their job, among study participants with an average age of 60. And a third showed it promoted immune response to vaccines in seniors.*

Lactobacillus paracasei (MCC1849) is a post-biotic, meaning a probiotic that has been purposely inactivated yet still provides a health benefit. One placebo-controlled study found that LAC-Shield™ reduced the incidence, duration, and severity of immune challenges.* Another found that, when taken 3 weeks prior to vaccination, it improved immune response to vaccines among seniors.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the difference between Kinoko®️ Gold, Kinoko®️ Platinum AHCC®️, and Kinoko®️ 50+ AHCC®️?
The same raw material is used for both Kinoko Gold and Kinoko Platinum AHCC. The only difference is that Kinoko Gold contains 500mg of AHCC per capsule, while Kinoko Platinum contains 750mg of AHCC per capsule. Similar as Kinoko Gold, Kinoko 50+ AHCC contains 500mg of AHCC per capsule. But doesn't just deliver a powerful AHCC dose; it's also crafted to address the exact immune challenges faced by older individuals with the addition of Lactobacillus paracasei (MCC1849), a sterilized probiotic. This makes it the ideal choice for those in this age bracket seeking enhanced immune support.
-
If I am allergic to mushrooms, can I take AHCC®?
Allergies to mushrooms are most often associated with exposure to mushroom spores. These spores originate in the top of the mushroom, called the fruiting body. However, AHCC® is derived from the mycelia, or the root of the mushroom, which does not contain spores. In addition, as part of the manufacturing process, the raw material is subjected to a fermentation process that breaks down the high molecular weight molecules that are very tough to digest into low molecular weight compounds. This process further lowers any allergenic potential. Many people who believe they are allergic to mushrooms take AHCC® successfully. However, if you are concerned, please check with a healthcare professional that specializes in natural products or begin taking AHCC® very slowly. This can be done by starting with a quarter of a capsule on the tip of your tongue and if you don't experience itching in your mouth or other signs of allergy, work your way up to 2 to 6 capsules per day over a period of several days.
-
Does AHCC® lose its effectiveness over time?
No AHCC® does not lose its effectiveness over time. As shown in an AHCC® placebo-controlled scientific trial, patients who used AHCC® regularly over a ten-year period had consistent and significant improvement as compared to the placebo group, therefore showing no signs of the ingredient losing effectiveness.*
-
Can AHCC® be taken with other medications?
Two studies conducted at the highly prestigious MD Anderson Cancer Center and published in the Journal of Integrative Oncology explored AHCC®’s interaction with other medications. These studies determined that AHCC® is metabolized via a pathway called “P450 2D6,” meaning that AHCC® has the potential to increase or decrease the absorption of a drug that uses the same pathway.
Therefore if you are taking another medication and are concerned about possible interactions, we recommend you ask a medical professional if the drug you are taking is metabolized through the cytochrome P450 2D6 class of enzymes. Most likely, the answer will be “no,” which means that AHCC® is highly unlikely to interact with the drug you are taking.
