Main benefits of AHCC Shiitake Mushroom Extract

AHCC is a potent immune system modulator. To better understand the innate power of this natural substance, let's take a look at what the immune system is and how it works.

Our immune system consists of a set of tissues, cells and chemicals that work tirelessly to protect us from a variety of health threats. Most people don't know that our immune system has two main components: innate immunity and adaptive immunity. Innate immunity runs continuously in the background to keep us safe regardless of the type of pathogen we are exposed to, while adaptive immunity fights against specific pathogens.

AHCC shiitake mushroom extractis scientifically proven to alter innate and adaptive immune responses by increasing the production and number of important immune cells such as NK cells, cytokines, macrophages, T cells and dendritic cells. AHCC's ability to enhance our body's natural defenses is truly remarkable, especially when we are attacked by pathogens such as bacteria and viruses. Viral infections, such as human papillomavirus (HPV), place an incredible burden on our bodies. Our immune system plays a key role in fighting infection and protecting us from potentially serious consequences. AHCC has been shown to enhance immune function and assist in the long-term suppression of HPV infection.
