Many people turn to alternative and complementary therapies when dealing with immune challenges. Unfortunately, while plenty of nutritional supplements claim to have immune-boosting properties, very few compounds have undergone rigorous scientific research.

AHCC, the active ingredient in ImmunoKinoko, an extract obtained from a hybridization of several subspecies of medicinal mushrooms, is different. Supported by over 30 human clinical studies at respected medical institutions ? including Yale Medical School, MD Anderson, UC Davis, and the Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women?s Hospital ? AHCC is the world?s most researched specialty immune supplement.

AHCC is:

• A highly effective immune modulator used in over 1,000 medical clinics worldwide.

• Japan?s top-selling immune-supporting specialty dietary supplement.

• Known for safety, as demonstrated by in vivo safety studies and 20 years of use.

• Maintains optimal NK cell activity. Natural killer (NK) cells are the immune system?s first line of defense.

Benefits:

• Enhances cytokine production. Cytokines are chemical messengers that help white blood cells communicate and coordinate an immune response.

• Promotes optimal T cell and macrophage activity. As part of the secondary immune response, T cells provide backup to NK cells. Macrophages engulf and ingest foreign particles and cellular debris.

• Increases the activity and number of dendritic cells. Dendritic cells provide defense in tissues exposed to the exterior environment.
