AHCC^® contains polysaccharides called alpha and beta-glucans. Polysaccharides are found in many plants and fungal species and have been found to have many healing properties. Beta-glucans are found in many medicinal mushrooms and improve gut immunity.

Alpha-glucans also interact with the immune system but since they are smaller molecules that beta-glucans they are easily absorbed and have a direct impact on the immune system. This unique feature allows for a more efficient immune response which makes AHCC^® an effective immune modulator, compared to other mushrooms.

Minimal side effects of nausea, muscle cramps, and diarrhea have been reported in some individuals but generally, AHCC^® is well tolerated.

AHCC^® is safe to supplement alongside most medications and supplements besides those metabolized by the CYP450 2D6 pathway. We recommend consulting a physician before using AHCC^® if you are taking any medications, both prescription, OTC, and any supplements.

We recommend consulting a physician before taking any new dietary supplement.

Generally, a dose of 1-3 grams daily is recommended for general immune support in healthy individuals. Higher dosages of 3-6g daily may be taken to support the immune system in response to more specific conditions. We recommend consulting a physician for guidance before dosing above 1-3 grams.

Clinical studies recommend supplementing AHCC^® in two doses daily on an empty stomach. The first dose is taken in the morning and the second dose at night. If swallowing or taking supplements is a challenge, AHCC^® may also be taken with food.

It can take time before you notice an improvement in your health when taking AHCC^®. We recommend supplementing daily for at least three months for the compound to take effect.

It can be helpful to record general health indicators when starting a nutritional supplement. Evaluate symptoms like energy levels, sick days per month, mood, digestion, etc.on a scale of 1-10 in a journal to help better monitor your improvement over time.

The immune system operates through a network of organs, tissues, and immune molecules that work together in a delicate balance to identify, and eliminate pathogens and invaders, as well as repair trauma.

The immune system is intertwined with all other systems in the body. When the immune system is balanced and functioning well, people tend to be healthy. When there is imbalance, weakness, or excessive stimulation, there is the potential for disease.

Strengthening and maintaining the immune system depends on the health status of the rest of the body. Lifestyle factors like diet, exercise, and stress play an important role in creating a healthy foundation for the immune system.

Inflammation, environmental toxins, infections, and other diseases put added stress on the immune system, reducing its resources to fight off disease.
