Active Hexose Correlated Compound (AHCC) is a substance taken from a variety of mushrooms. These mushrooms are medical mushrooms, including shiitake, and studies have demonstrated their ability to improve macrophage and natural killer (NK) cell activity. AHCC supplements are effective immune system-boosting products that support health and wellbeing.

AHCC Benefits:
*Combats viruses, bacteria, and parasites
*Supports immune system
*Increases activity of NK cells
*Fights cancer & other damaging cells

AHCC & the Immune System
The immune system is the body’s main mechanism that protects us against sickness and disease. Without our immune system functioning at optimal levels, our bodies risk being overwhelmed by parasites, viruses, bacteria, fungi, and cancer cells. When the immune system is strong, it effectively seeks out and destroys threatening microbes, pathogens, tumours, and cancer cells.

AHCC & Natural Killer Cells
Natural killer cells are important immune-system cells that respond to viruses and other threats. The speed at which they respond to threats relies upon the health of the immune system. The NK cells find and attach themselves to cancer cells and inject a chemical that invades and kills the bacteria or virus. As we get older, our immune systems have a more difficult time destroying the hazardous elements they are meant to kill, making us more vulnerable to threats.

AHCC & Cancer Cells
AHCC supplements encourage the production of cytokine, a compound that improves immune functions by stimulating the release of NK cells and enhancing their activity by up to 300%. AHCC also helps NK cells form the chemical granules that they inject into cancer cells, thereby improving their ability to destroy dangerous cells. AHCC also increases interferon levels, which supports the immune systems fight against virus replication and helps the manufacturing of proteins that kill cancer cells.
