AHCC (Active Hexose Correlated Compound)
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. Shiitake can boost the immune system through the activation of macrophages and promoting the proliferation of NK cell and B-lymphocytes, and promoting antibody production (89,90). 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 (91-99).
