AHCC's anti-cancer potential.

Japan's leading complementary natural cancer therapy. Active Hexose Correlated Compound (AHCC) is a proprietary medicinal mushroom extract that has been used in Japan for over 20 years to support immune system health. AHCC is typically derived from the mycelia of the shiitake mushroom (Lentinula edodes) and is rich in alpha-glucans, a type of carbohydrate molecule. It is thought to have anticancer properties due to its ability to stimulate the body’s natural killer (NK) cells. NK cells are white blood cells that are important for recognizing and destroying cancer cells. AHCC has also been found to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, which can both contribute to the development of cancer. AHCC has also been found to inhibit the growth of tumors, reduce their size, and improve the effectiveness of chemotherapeutic drugs. In addition, AHCC may help protect healthy cells from the damaging effects of chemotherapy.

This study showed that AHCC intake significantly improves the prognosis of primary liver cancer patients. Overall survival in the AHCC group was significantly higher than that in the control group
