What is an Active hexose correlated compound (AHCC)?
is a nutritional supplement produced from the mycelia of shiitake mushrooms, containing a mixture of polysaccharides, amino acids and minerals.
AHCC® is reported to modulate the numbers and functions of immune cells including natural killer (NK) and T cells which play important roles in host defense, suggesting the possible implication of its supplementation in defending the host against infections and malignancies via modulating the immune system.
