AHCC® contains a unique Shiitake Mycelia extract
AHCC® (active hexose correlated compound) has been discovered by Japanese scientists after screening hundreds of mushroom species, to find those with potential to contribute to health. Following this study, the scientists have identified alpha-glucans, polysaccharides that naturally occur in small amounts in shiitake mycelia, as being some of the most outstanding compounds. Note that this is in contrast to the fruiting body of the mushroom, which mainly contains beta-glucans.
In order to increase the absorption and clinical efficiency of the alpha-glucans, Japanese scientists have put in place a special patented production including a fermentation step. In this process, the mycelia are grown in a liquid culture medium based on rice bran. During the fermentation process, the mycelia convert components of the medium into other nutrients. This process is long, taking about two months, but the final AHCC® product (including partially acetylated alpha-glucans) has some unique properties that have turned AHCC® into a widely used dietary supplement.
Indeed, AHCC® has been studied multiple times in both laboratory and clinical settings, where its potential has often been highlighted in relation to various health challenges. Today, its potential is supported by >30 scientific studies, including clinical studies in humans.
