    Mechanism of Action

    Human and animal research has demonstrated that AHCC enhances immunity by increasing:

    • Cytokine production, including IFN-γ and TNF-α 
    • Natural killer (NK) cell activity by 200-300%
    • Macrophage populations by up to 100%
    • Dendritic (DC) cell numbers
    • T cell numbers and activity

    Safety & Health

    Safety

    AHCC is extremely safe. Animal and human studies show very low toxic potential in both acute-dose and long-term studies. Additionally, no significant adverse events have been noted in observations of thousands of patients in hospital settings and clinical trials.
