Myco-AHCC® -
A.H.C.C®, or active hexose correlated compound, supports
natural defenses and may also maintain healthy cellular
signaling and cell function. It is an extract obtained from
a hybridized mushroom used traditionally in Japan.
The main constituents are the low molecular weight,
highly absorbable, partially acetylated a- and b-glucan
oligosaccharides along with hemicellulose, glycoproteins
and amino acids.

The main constituents are the low molecular weight,
highly absorbable, partially acetylated a- and b-glucan
oligosaccharides along with hemicellulose, glycoproteins
and amino acids. The oligosaccharides in mushrooms
are believed to directly support several types of immune
cells and to protect healthy tissue. It is estimated that
more than 700 hospitals and clinics in Japan recommend
AHCC as part of an immune support program. In the U.S.,
both Yale and Harvard Universities, among others, have
expressed interest in furthering AHCC research.*
Uses For Myco-AHCC®
Immune Defense:
AHCC acts as an immune-modulator,
enhancing natural killer (NK) cell activity and macrophages,
which play an important role in detecting and destroying
foreign invaders. Human studies have indicated
statistically significant enhanced NK activity from AHCC
supplementation, thereby supporting the earliest stages
of the innate, nonspecific immune response. In one
study, AHCC promoted NK cell activity, nitric oxide (NO)
production and cytotoxicity of macrophages. Another
study, involving 38 people supplementing with AHCC
for 6 months, indicates that AHCC modulates NK cell
activity and cytokine production. Several preclinical
investigations and a human case study have indicated
that AHCC® also maintains healthy T lymphocyte function.
Mechanistic studies show that it supports the
production of interleukins and interferon-gamma, a
cytokine that promotes T-lymphocyte activity. It may also
promote the function of dendritic cells, macrophages
and neutrophils. Research suggests that it may moderate
neutrophils in peripheral blood as well as mRNA
expression of immunity factors. Therefore, AHCC®
supports multiple events in both innate and adaptive
immunity. Cordyceps sinensis, a mushroom that supports
healthy T-lymphocyte activity, provides complementary
support for the body's natural defenses.*
Cellular Health:
A prospective cohort trial including 269
individuals suggests that AHCC supplementation helps
support immune health at the cellular level as well as
liver health, via moderating serum aspartate transaminase
and g-glutamyltransferase activity. In addition, three
human case studies have indicated that AHCC may
boost immune support for the liver. Liver support was
also revealed in a study where AHCC helped to support
healthy cytochrome P450 function and the activity of the
detoxification enzymes glutathione S-transferase and
uridine phosphate glucuronyl transferase. Furthermore,
data indicates that AHCC may help protect cells, including
blood and bone marrow cells, and DNA in the thymus.*
What Is The Source?
AHCC® is an enzyme-fermented extract of mycelia from
Basidiomycetes mushroom species. It is provided in a

Euphorbia cerifera leaf, cyclodextrin derived from corn and
microcrystalline cellulose derived from pine. Cordyceps
sinensis is derived from the mycelia and certified organic.
Ascorbyl palmitate is derived from corn dextrose
fermentation and palm oil. Hypo-allergenic plant fiber is
derived from pine cellulose.
