About Active Hexose Correlated Compound
AHCC is a proprietary fermented extract of shiitake (Lentinula edodes) mycelia rich in partially acetylated alpha-glucans. Small pilot RCTs suggest effects on NK-cell activity and persistent-HPV clearance, but trials are few, small and largely manufacturer-associated. Generally well tolerated; may theoretically interact with immunosuppressants or CYP-metabolized drugs.
