AHCC® (Active Hexose Correlated Compound)

About AHCC

Japan’s top-selling immune support ingredient, AHCC is a unique, cultured mushroom mycelia extract that is rich in alpha glucans. AHCC is manufactured through a patented, extended liquid culturing process that makes its active components different from other mushroom extract products. While most medicinal mushroom extracts have a molecular weight of more than 200,000 daltons, the presence of acylated alpha glucans with a molecular weight of around 5,000 daltons is considered one of the attributes of AHCC that provides it with superior absorption and strong clinical efficacy.

Supported by over 20 human clinical studies, AHCC is used in over 1,000 clinics across the globe. Studies on AHCC have been conducted at some of the finest research institutions in the world, including highly regarded Ivy League universities. It is unique, in that it modifies both the innate and adaptive immune response.
