Source Naturals AHCC Frequently Asked Questions

What is AHCC?
AHCC (active hexose correlated compound) is a mushroom blend that offers highly advanced support for immune defense.

What does it do?
AHCC has been shown in research to significantly support natural killer (NK) cell, macrophage and cytokine activity. It may also support healthy liver function, and act as an antioxidant.

How does that benefit me?
Your body's trillions of cells are susceptible to free radicals, pollutants, and stress, so a healthy immune system uses its first line of defense—natural killer (NK) cells. The effectiveness of NK cells depends on their activity level, so supporting NK activity is a smart strategy for maintaining vibrant health. According to preclinical human and animal studies, AHCC may significantly enhance NK and macrophage activity. Macrophages are white blood cells that support immunity.

How is it made?
AHCC is a rich source of: polysaccharides (beta glucan 1, 3 and activated hemicellulose), glycoproteins, amino acids and minerals. It is produced by enzymatic modification of several mushrooms, including shiitake, and derived from organically cultivated mushroom mycelia (the rich pre-mushroom stage, a network of fibrous filaments plus the medium it lives on and uses for fuel). Its low molecular weight makes AHCC easy to absorb.

Is it well known outside of the US?
AHCC has been well-researched in Japan, where it is used extensively for immune maintenance, and its sales exceed $200 million dollars per year.
