NOW Foods - AHCC, 500mg

AHCC (Active Hexose Correlated Compound) is a unique extraction from mushrooms cultivated as hybrids (Basidocymetes). Extended research has been done in humans and many non-clinical trials. AHCC supports the immune system by enhancing the activeness of the macrophage and NK cells (Natural Killer).

NK cells and the intercellular mediators produced are essential for maintaining the function of the cell cycle in good health. AHCC possesses antioxidant properties which support healthy liver function.

Potential users of AHCC:
Persons requiring an increase in the activity of natural killer cells and who seek to improve the immune system, those who need to repair the tissues with problems of oxidation, persons seeking increased liver function and individuals defying a popular aspect of age with needs for cellular integrity improvement.

Health conditions, both chronic and acute, share a hidden source; a compromised immunity.

AHCC regulates the immune response against a variety of infections and may also guard against disorders relative to oxidative stress (free radical cellular stress). AHCC, a modifier for biological response, activates your natural immune response and helps fight various kinds of threats to your health.
AHCC modifies both the innate and adaptive immune response, by:

- Increasing the production of cytokines
- Increasing the activity of NK cells
- Increasing populations of macrophages
- Increasing the number of dendritic cells
- Increasing the number of T cells

Cytokines are messengers that help immune cells communicate chemically and coordinate an immune response.

Dendritic cells are white blood cells that present foreign substances to B and T cells, initiating an adaptive response.

Macrophages are white blood cells that enclose and ingest bacteria and debris from targeted cells.

Dendritic cells are white blood cells that present foreign substances to B and T cells, initiating an adaptive response.
