Effects of Shiitake Mushroom Mycelium AHCC (Active Hexose Correlated Compound)
1. Increases dendritic cells
2. Inhibits HPV infection
3. Increases CD4+ and CD8+ T cells

Hello, I am Jinny, a pharmacist.

I have been introducing various immune-supporting compounds, and the immune system is of great importance for human survival, so continuous research is conducted in the academic world.

Today, I will introduce "Active Hexose Correlated Compound (AHCC)," which is another immune substance that has gained attention in recent academic research. AHCC is a substance derived from cultivating shiitake mushroom mycelia, and it is rich in alpha-glucans, a key component of the immune system.
Alpha-glucans are known to activate natural killer (NK) cells and have anti-cancer effects, as well as reduce blood cholesterol levels and LDL cholesterol.

AHCC has gained popularity among cancer patients as it has been reported to improve side effects such as kidney damage and bone marrow suppression when taken in combination with anticancer drugs[1].

Now, let's take a look at how AHCC affects the immune system through academic research.

1. Increases Dendritic Cells
 

Dendritic cells are immune cells that engulf pathogens and have the role of destroying them. They also play a crucial role in initiating important immune responses by presenting antigens acquired through phagocytosis to T cells. The T cells activated by dendritic cells are the most representative cells responsible for the adaptive immune system, specifically for the secondary immune response. If T cells do not function properly, it can lead to the overall breakdown of the immune system.
*Adaptive immunity: A form of immunity where the body "remembers" specific pathogens it has encountered before and can respond rapidly and effectively if the same pathogen re-enters the body.

According to a human clinical trial published in the prestigious journal "Nutrition and Cancer" in 2008, the consumption of AHCC was found to help increase the function of dendritic cells.

"The intake of AHCC resulted in an increase in the function of dendritic cells, which play a specific role in the immune system. Dendritic cells significantly increased in the AHCC intake group compared to the control group."

1. Decrease Body Weight and Body Mass Index (BMI) and Increase Muscle Mass Compared to Fat Mass
 

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a major contributing factor to cervical cancer. Among the over 100 types of HPV, more than 40 are found in the reproductive organs and can lead to cervical dysplasia, eventually progressing to cervical cancer. HPV is primarily transmitted through oral or sexual contact, often in a state of reduced immune response.
*Cervical dysplasia: Cellular changes in the cervix due to HPV infection

However, there is currently no cure for HPV. Therefore, prevention through vaccination is the best approach. If someone is already exposed or infected with HPV, their immune system must naturally overcome the virus.

Recently, various studies have been conducted on the potential benefits of AHCC in inhibiting HPV infection. In a human clinical trial published in 2022, it was confirmed that AHCC has a positive impact on inhibiting HPV infection.

"Supplementation with AHCC (3g/day) was effective in supporting the host immune system for the clearance of HPV infection, demonstrating excellent safety and a lack of serious side effects."

3. Increases CD4+ and CD8+ T cells
 

CD4+ and CD8+ T cells are a type of white blood cell and are essential for the body's immune system. These CD4+ and CD8+ T cells play a crucial role in eliminating tumors such as cancer within the body. Additionally, as previously mentioned, they also interact with dendritic cells to support the activation of T cells [2-3].

[3] Ahrends, Tomasz; Borst, Jannie (2018). The opposing roles of CD4+ T cells in anti-tumour immunity. Immunology, 154(4):582–92.

In a human clinical trial conducted in 2019, it was reported that the consumption of AHCC led to an increase in CD4+ and CD8+ T cells [2-3].

In an observational study on healthy adults aged 50 and above, supplementation with AHCC® (3g/day) was found to increase the frequency of peripheral CD4+ and CD8+ T cells producing IFN-γ and/or TNF-α [2-3].

The Effects of AHCC®, a Standardized Extract of Cultured Lentinura edodes Mycelia, on Natural Killer and T Cells in Health and Disease: Reviews on Human and Animal Studies. Journal of Immunology Research, 1–7.

Today, we've explored how AHCC can support the immune system through academic research. AHCC is produced through a complex manufacturing process involving the cultivation of shiitake mushroom mycelia, enzyme treatment, separation, concentration, sterilization, and freeze-drying. It's reported that the core component, alpha-glucan, constitutes about 20% of AHCC [4].

The Effects of AHCC®, a Standardized Extract of Cultured Lentinura edodes Mycelia, on Natural Killer and T Cells in Health and Disease: Reviews on Human and Animal Studies. Journal of Immunology Research, 2019, 1–7.

Therefore, if you intend to consume AHCC, it's essential to ensure that you're consuming AHCC made from verified sources with a known alpha-glucan content.

I hope you have a healthy day both physically and mentally. This was Jinny.

  • “I’m Charles Darwin by name and i’m writing to share my incredible experience with a professional crypto recovery service know as SPYHOST CYBER SECURITY COMPANY . In 2020, I invested a significant amount of money in a cryptocurrency wallet worth more than 3 million united states dollars in todays market value, but unfortunately, I lost my seed phrase. I had written it down on one piece of paper and stored it in a safe, but somehow it got misplaced.

    I was devastated and felt helpless. I had tried to contact the wallet’s support team, but they were unable to assist me in recovering my funds without the seed phrase. I had also tried to use various online tools and software to recover my seed phrase, but none of them worked.

    That’s when I stumbled upon a professional crypto recovery service. I was skeptical at first, but after reading reviews and testimonials from other satisfied customers, I decided to give it a try.

    The recovery process was surprisingly efficient and effective. The team at the recovery service was highly professional and communicative, keeping me updated every step of the way. They used advanced techniques and tools to try and recover my seed phrase, including brainwallet recovery as they used specialized software to try and recover my seed phrase from my brainwallet and they also made use of wallet reconstruction as they reconstructed my wallet from scratch, using advanced forensic techniques to recover my private keys. Within a few weeks, I received an email from the recovery service stating that they had successfully recovered my seed phrase. I was overjoyed and couldn’t believe that I had gotten my funds back.

    The recovery service also provided me with a detailed report of the recovery process, including the steps they took to recover my seed phrase. I was impressed by their expertise and professionalism throughout the entire process.

    I would highly recommend this crypto recovery service to anyone who has lost their seed phrase or has lost access to their crypto funds. They are truly experts in their field, and their services are worth every penny. Kindly contact them through any of the following means

  • HOW I RECOVERED MY LOST CRYPTOCURRENCY.
    I was introduced to a fraudulent crypto investment scheme around early November 2024. The platform promised easy profits by exploiting price differences in cryptocurrencies across exchanges. They had an app and what seemed like guaranteed strategies, even using ‘AI’ to make trades. I started with $2,000, lured by the daily updates showing how my balance was growing. Everything seemed fine at first, consistent, modest gains. I watched as my account hit $21,700 in just a few weeks which subsequently led me to invest more funds into this platform. But when I tried to withdraw my funds, the problems started. First, there was a withdrawal fee, which I didn’t think much of at the time. But then they requested another fee for exchange commissions, followed by a tax settlement fee. Each time I thought I was one step closer to accessing my money, a new obstacle appeared. I ended up paying nearly $20,000 in fees without ever seeing a cent of my profits. The company eventually went silent on me, and I was left reeling from the loss. I felt ashamed for falling for it, but also furious at how sophisticated the scam had been. After months of research, I found Asore Hack Corporation, a team that specializes in recovering lost digital assets. Thanks to their expert work, they were able to access and recover my funds including all earnings from my portfolio into my bank accounts without trace of any form, and they gave me back a sense of hope in an otherwise hopeless situation. If you’re going through something similar, don’t hesitate to contact Asore Hack Corp. Their team is available to assist you via email, using the address below:
