PuroIngredients High Quality Active Hexose Correlated Compound 50% AHCC Mushroom Mycelia Extract Immune System Support

PuroIngredients AHCC (Active Hexose Correlated Compound) Six Fungus Extract Combined Alpha-Glucan Powder Support Immune Function.

    Immune-stimulant and anti-tumor properties.

    Stimulates the activity of various groups of white cells including NK (natural killer) cells.

    Used for many years in traditional Asian medicine.

This dietary supplement has been formulated to offer the benefits of AHCC (Active Hexose Correlated Compound), a rare compound developed by Japanese scientists. It is obtained by fermenting an extract of a mushroom popular in Asia and Europe called shiitake (Lentinus edodes). Interest in the health benefits of this mushroom is far from recent however – it has been used for many years in traditional Asian medicine. The result of considerable research, AHCC offers the benefits of a combination of different active principles with immune-stimulant and anti-tumor properties.

What are the benefits of AHCC?

    Among the active principles in AHCC are the derivatives alpha-glucan and beta-glucan, polysaccharides recognized for their immune-stimulant effects. They boost the immune system by stimulating the activity of various groups of white cells including NK (natural killer) cells, recognized as the body's first line of defense against attack.

    The active principles in AHCC also increase concentrations of T and B lymphocytes, white blood cells which act in a specific way against pathogens. These immune-stimulant effects therefore make this fermented shiitake extract a valuable aid in the prevention of various diseases.

    The immune-stimulant properties of AHCC, demonstrated in in vitro and clinical studies, have rapidly attracted the interest of the scientific community for their potential to fight certain cancers. There is a particular focus on AHCC's stimulant effect on NK cells as they are such a vital line of defense against cancer cells.

    Part of the immediate innate immune response, NK lymphocytes are able to recognize and destroy tumor cells within a few hours. Suffice to say that AHCC's stimulation of these ‘killer cells' paves the way for promising new therapeutic perspectives in the fight against cancer!
