AHCC – An Effective Immune Supporter

Common name:

"Active Hexose Correlated Compound"

Botanical name:

"Basidiomycetes"


How AHCC works?


AHCC has been used successfully to treat a wide range of health conditions, from minor ailments such as colds and flu, to serious diseases such as cancer, hepatitis, diabetes, and cardiovascular
disease.


How can one dietary ingredient be effective against so many types of health problems?


The answer is that many acute and chronic conditions share a hidden cause: compromised immunity. And as a biological response modifier, AHCC turns the dial up on your natural immune response, helping you fight all kinds of threats to your health.


Benefits of AHCC


In vivo and human clinical trials have shown that AHCC modifies both the innate and adaptive immune response, by:

* Increasing the production of cytokines
* Increasing the activity of NK cells by as much as 300-800%
* Increasing populations of macrophages, in some cases doubling them
* Increasing the number of dendritic cells
* Increasing the number of T cells by as much as 200%


Active constituents

AHCC consists of polysaccharides, particularly low molecular weight alpha-1,3-glucans, amino acids, and minerals.
