AHCC � * compounds are powerful antioxidants which aggressively combat free radicals thus boosting the immune system. AHCC � contains alpha-1,4-Glucans, and was first manufactured in Japan by co-cultured mycelia of several species of Basidiomycete mushrooms such as Lentinula sp., and where it was used clinically in many acute and chronic health conditions.FeaturesBroad immune support: Maintain optimal natural killer cell activity. Modulates cytokine production. Promotes T-cell and macrophage activity. Increases number and activity of dendritic cells, anti-prion activityWell-researched: Over 100 published papers, including 30 human clinical studies. Proven safety profile over 35 years; currently in use in 1,000 healthcare facilities around the world Beta 1,3/1,6 D-glucans: Widely researched in over 18,000 studies; shown to stimulate immune cells including macrophages, neutrophils, monocytes, natural killer cells and dendritic cells. Complements and enhances the effects of Alpha glucans found in AHCC�Arabinogalactan: Contains long chains of the sugars, arabinose and galactose. Research indicates arabinogalactan molecules may stimulate M-cells, which go on to activate T cells, B cells, and other cells of the immune system. This way, gut immunity potentially extends to affect whole-body immunityEncapsulated in a delayed release vegan capsule to minimize the impact of stomach acids and increase absorption Benefits Powerful support for both innate and adaptive immunityImmune system enhancing, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, all of which protect against many serious and chronic conditionsUsed clinically in patients with hepatitis, high blood sugar and cardiovascular disease
