How AHCC Is Made – From Nature to Science

AHCC is produced through a highly controlled fermentation process using the mycelium of the shiitake mushroom (Lentinula edodes).

Unlike simple mushroom powders, AHCC is created through advanced biotechnological cultivation, which transforms the natural mycelium into a bioavailable extract with unique immune-modulating properties.

During this multi-step process, the mycelium is carefully grown in large-scale cultures, concentrated, and finally freeze-dried and granulated to preserve the active components such as α-glucans and oligosaccharides.

This meticulous production ensures purity, consistency, and scientific reproducibility — making AHCC one of the most researched and trusted natural immune-supporting compounds worldwide.
