A Proven Immune Support Ingredient

Supplements which are marketed as providing support for the immune system tend to be limited in their contents to common antioxidant and probiotic ingredients. Each of these ingredient types are capable of providing indirect support for the immune system by neutralizing free radicals and protecting the digestive tract from bacteria and toxins in food and beverages. This makes them useful ingredients for indirect immune support, but neither type has a directly measurable effect on actual immune response.

It’s critically important to eat a healthy diet that is rich in probiotics and antioxidants. However, there are some who struggle with deficiencies in their immune system functionality which may leave their body more susceptible to infection from all manner of parasites, regardless of their dietary choices.

One ingredient which has been extensively studied and verified for actual immune support is Active Hexose Correlated Compound (AHCC). AHCC, the active ingredient in ImmunoKinoko®, is an extract obtained from a hybridization of several subspecies of medicinal mushrooms. Its effects and potential benefits have been the subject of over 30 human clinical studies at respected medical institutions — including Yale Medical School, MD Anderson, UC Davis, and the Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women’s Hospital.

Functions and Benefits of AHCC

Studies surrounding the the effects of AHCC supplementation on immune response have centered around its effect on T cell activation. T cells are lymphocytes (a subtype of white blood cells) which are released from the thyroid gland in response to a variety of antigens.

They are some of the most important facets of a healthy immune system. This is because they play a pivotal role in protecting other cells in the body from all manner of potential harms. Ironically, most T cells achieve this by seeking out and killing cells which have become infected, so as to prevent any infections from spreading.

While there are a wide variety of T cells with a variety of different functions, studies have explored the effects of AHCC on the proliferation of specific T cells and other white blood cell types and subtypes. The results thus far have been extraordinarily positive as AHCC has been shown to support the proliferation of numerous variety of T cells and other important aspects of immune response like dendritic cells and leukocytes.^1,2

One study hypothesize that this occurs as a result of AHCC aiding in cell adhesion – a critical factor in the activation and survival pathway of lymphocytes.³ As such, AHCC may provide additional support for an already healthy immune system.
