Active Hexose Correlated Compound AHCC® (Active Hexose Correlated Compound) is a proprietary compound produced by cultivation and enzymatic modification of several species of mushroom mycelia, including shiitake, grown in rice bran extract. Considered a superfood supplement in Japan, AHCC has been researched extensively for its immune-enhancement properties. According to human and animal research, AHCC may significantly increase Natural Killer (NK) Cell activity. AHCC may also increase macrophage activity, enhance cytokine production, and support the healthy functioning of the liver as well as act as an antioxidant. KEY FEATURES -
Supports immune system. -
Antibacterial effect. -
Enhances the body's natural thermogenic activity. -
Increases blood supply to the GI tract. -
Increases emulsifying content of the gut. -
Increases active nutrient transport. AHCC supports Natural Killer Cell function, enhances Cytokine production and optimal T-cell and Macrophage activity. AHCC is a blend of Shitake and other mushrooms, grown in a liquid medium. Natural fermentation is used to break down the large polysaccharides produced by the mushroom into smaller (and therefore more biologically active) molecules. Bioperine is a pure form of piperine, derived from the fruits of black pepper. Studies indicate that bioperine promotes nutrient absorption. This is due to bioperine's interaction with the surfact of the intestinal tract. Bioperine is non-irritating to the gastrointestinal tract. The metabolic process that generates energy at the cellular level in the human body is called thermogenesis. Though thermogenesis has been identified as a key factor in maintaining weight loss, it has also been identified as playing an integral role in utilizing the daily food and nutrients that the human body consumes. It sets in motion the mechanisms that lead to digestion and subsequent gastrointestinal absorption. Piperine, in the patented form of Bioperine enhances the body's natural thermogenic activity. This enhancement may be explained as a means of increasing the thermal energy sufficient to "power up" the mechanism related to thermogenesis. This in turn results in increased metabolic processes that creates a "demand" for "supply" of a broad range of nutrients that contribute to metabolism, i.e. vitamins, minerals, herbals, amino acids, etc. It is as if Bioperine activates a metabolic paddle wheel, of sorts, that selectively provides a more efficient mode of nutrient transportation into the blood. Bioperine is the only product sourced out of piperine to obtain a patented status for its ability to increase the bioavailability of nutritional compounds. Secondly, it is the only source from piperine to have undergone clinical studies in the U.S. to substantiate its safety and efficacy for nutritional use.
