A.H.C.C.® Plus, provided by Douglas Laboratories®,
supplies a synergistic immuno-supportive combination of A.H.C.C (active hexose
correlated compound) and arabinogalactan in vegetarian capsules. Mushrooms have always been an important part of
Asian medicine and are known to contain numerous substances that help to support
the immune system. A.H.C.C.® (active hexose correlated compound) is a unique
mushroom-derived extract designed to provide support to the entire immune
system. Derived from a patented cultivation, enzymatic decomposition and freeze
drying process of several kinds of Basidiomycetes mushrooms, the active compound
in A.H.C.C. is thought to be an á−1,4 linked glucose oligosaccharide with a
molecular weight less than 5,000 daltons. This oligosaccharide cannot be found
in typical mushroom preparations. Beta-glucans, amino acids and minerals present
in A.H.C.C. may also play an important role in its immune supportive properties.
Scientific studies using A.H.C.C. in animals and humans suggest that it has
potent immunomodulating activity. Scientific research indicates that A.H.C.C. may
play an important role in supporting the body’s natural defense mechanisms.
During certain therapies, gastrointestinal function, skin and hair health as
well as general well-being can be adversely affected. Studies in Japan using
A.H.C.C. have shown it to positively affect the functioning of the body and to
improve overall well-being. Studies have also demonstrated its important roles
in helping support overall immune function, including during times of oxidative
stress. Arabinogalactan, a derivative of the Western Larch tree (Larix
occidentalis) and the Eastern Larch tree (Larix laricina) is a polysaccharide
composed of galactose and arabinose units. Arabinogalactan is added in this
formula for the supportive role it plays in immune health. A.H.C.C.® Plus may be a useful dietary supplement
for individuals wishing to support their body’s immune function. Adults take 2 – 6 capsules daily or as directed by
physician. No adverse side effects reported.
