Clinical Research
Clinical Research
Many people turn to alternative and complementary therapies to boost their immune systems. But with so many different choices, all claiming to be the best, it can be hard to separate scientifically validated products from the fads. AHCC® makes it easy.
AHCC® is an extensively studied, highly efficacious, 100% natural supplement for bolstering the human immune system.* A proprietary extract of hybridized medicinal mushroom mycelia (roots), AHCC® is:
- Supported by over 30 human clinical trials, as well as over 100 pre-clinical trials
- Used in over 1,000 clinics worldwide
- Japan’s top-selling immune-supporting specialty dietary supplement
Quality of Life was the first company to introduce AHCC® back in 2002 when it won the prestigious NutrAward for Best New Product of the Year. Since then, it has remained our most popular and highly rated product.

AHCC®
AHCC® is a researched mushroom-derived compound that helps support balanced immune function within the body. It works to help maintain healthy white blood cell levels and activity.*
Research studies note AHCC® may support the activity of natural killer cells, key components of the body’s innate defense system.* It helps sustain healthy macrophage populations, cells that support normal clearance of external particles.*
AHCC® also supports healthy dendritic cell counts, which help identify environmental challenges and support coordinated immune signaling.*Additionally, it helps maintain healthy T cell populations and activity, supporting the body’s ability to recognize and respond to familiar environmental stressors.*
100% of our ingredients are backed by human clinical studies.

The Most Effective Medicinal Mushroom Product Available
What makes AHCC® uniquely formulated among mushroom-derived wellness compounds?
AHCC® features specialized polysaccharide structures known as alpha glucans, a distinct class of compounds widely studied in mushroom nutrition research. While most medicinal mushroom extracts rely on beta-glucan profiles, AHCC®’s unique alpha-glucan composition presents a different structural profile in nutritional studies.
A key differentiator of AHCC® lies in its advanced bioavailability profile, addressing a common limitation found in many traditional mushroom supplements. Standard medicinal mushroom extracts typically carry a high molecular weight exceeding 200,000 daltons, a structure known to limit bodily absorption.
Through a proprietary manufacturing process, AHCC® is refined to a low molecular size of under 5,000 daltons — a refined structural design engineered for improved bioavailability and optimized nutritional usability within the body.

Frequently Asked Questions
If I am allergic to mushrooms, can I take AHCC®?
If I am allergic to mushrooms, can I take AHCC®?
Allergies to mushrooms are most often associated with exposure to mushroom spores. These spores originate in the top of the mushroom, called the fruiting body. However, AHCC® is derived from the mycelia, or the root of the mushroom, which does not contain spores. In addition, as part of the manufacturing process, the raw material is subjected to a fermentation process that breaks down the high molecular weight molecules that are very tough to digest into low molecular weight compounds. This process further lowers any allergenic potential. Many people who believe they are allergic to mushrooms take AHCC® successfully. However, if you are concerned, please check with a healthcare professional that specializes in natural products or begin taking AHCC® very slowly. This can be done by starting with a quarter of a capsule on the tip of your tongue and if you don't experience itching in your mouth or other signs of allergy, work your way up to 2 to 6 capsules per day over a period of several days.
Does AHCC® lose its effectiveness over time?
Does AHCC® lose its effectiveness over time?
No AHCC® does not lose its effectiveness over time. As shown in an AHCC® placebo-controlled scientific trial, patients who used AHCC® regularly over a ten-year period had consistent and significant improvement as compared to the placebo group, therefore showing no signs of the ingredient losing effectiveness.*
Can AHCC® be taken with other medications?
Can AHCC® be taken with other medications?
Two studies conducted at the highly prestigious MD Anderson Cancer Center and published in the Journal of Integrative Oncology explored AHCC®’s interaction with other medications. These studies determined that AHCC® is metabolized via a pathway called “P450 2D6,” meaning that AHCC® has the potential to increase or decrease the absorption of a drug that uses the same pathway.
Therefore if you are taking another medication and are concerned about possible interactions, we recommend you ask a medical professional if the drug you are taking is metabolized through the cytochrome P450 2D6 class of enzymes. Most likely, the answer will be “no,” which means that AHCC® is highly unlikely to interact with the drug you are taking.
