Immune health^‡

^{AHCC® Plus supplies a unique mushroom-derived extract called AHCC® combined with arabinogalactan from the Western Larch tree to provide an immune-supportive formula.‡}

^{Mushrooms have always been an important part of Asian medicine and are known to contain numerous
substances that help to support the immune system. AHCC® is a unique mushroom-derived extract designed
to provide support to the immune system. Derived from a patented cultivation, enzymatic decomposition and
freeze-drying process of several kinds of Basidiomycetes mushrooms, the active compound in AHCC® is an
α−1,4 linked glucose oligosaccharide with a molecular weight less than 5,000 daltons. This oligosaccharide
cannot be found in typical mushroom preparations. Beta-glucans, amino acids and minerals present in AHCC®
may also play important roles in its immune-supportive properties. Scientific studies using AHCC® in animals
and humans suggest that it has immunomodulating activity.
‡
Research indicates that AHCC® may serve a vital function in supporting the body’s natural defense
mechanisms. AHCC® supports the functioning of the body and improves overall well-being. Studies have also
demonstrated its important roles in helping support overall immune function, including during times of oxidative
stress.‡}
