Formulation

Formula re: Contains

AHCC is a proprietary compound produced by cultivation of shiitake mushroom mycelia, grown in rice bran extract. Considered a superfood supplement in Japan, AHCC has been researched extensively for its immune enhancement properties. Preliminary research indicates that AHCC may significantly increase Natural Killer (NK) Cell activity. There is also evidence to suggest that AHCC may increase macrophage activity, enhance cytokine production, and support the healthy functioning of the liver as well as act as an antioxidant.

Formulation re: Vegetarian/Vegan

Suitable for vegetarians.

Formulation re: Does NOT Contain

Contains no dairy, egg, soy or wheat. Contains no starch, preservatives, or artificial color, flavor or fragrance.
