AHCC
HCC or Active Hexose Correlated
Compound is a natural substance made from
medicinal mushrooms containing bioactive, low
molecular weight hexose molecules. Medicinal
mushrooms and their extracts have been reported
in the scientific literature to have a variety
of biological effects including immunomodulation,
anti-tumor properties and beneficial influences
on blood sugar regulation, serum lipids and
blood pressure.
AHCC is created by reacting specific enzymes
with several species of medicinal mushrooms
Basidiomycetes. AHCC is then obtained from a
patented process of cultivation, enzymatic
decomposition, sterilization, concentration, and
freeze drying. AHCC is rich in nutrients (alpha
glucans) and dietary fiber and is known to have
immune supporting benefits. AHCC’s special
ingredients obtained from this unique
cultivation method cannot be found in typical
mushrooms.
The main advantage of this cultivation method
is that it breaks down nutrients into a more
absorbable form. The molecular weight of most
mushroom extracts is in the hundreds of
thousands of Daltons (a measure of weight) AHCC
has a molecular weight under 5,000 Daltons. This
small molecular weight means that potent
nutrients in AHCC can be assimilated quickly by
the white blood cells for immediate use in
destruction of tumors or strengthening of the
bodies immune system.
AHCC has been used to fight a variety of
serious immune deficiencies. Included are
cancer, heart disease, hepatitis, and AIDS.
Potential uses for AHCC include chronic fatigue,
Lyme Disease, Fibromyalgia, Osteoarthritis,
Allergies, Asthma, and many other inflammatory
responses that are influenced in the body by the
immune system.
Since most diseases can be traced to a
breakdown in immune function, it stands to
reason that AHCC should be considered a first
line defense in a variety of different disease
states.
HCC has proven to be an important supplement in
helping to reduce inflammation, to reduce
oxidative damage and to fortify the immune
system.
AHCC should be part of anyone’s daily regimen
in maintaining and achieving optimum health.
