AHCC® (Active Hexose Correlated Compound) is a nutritional supplement derived from cultured shiitake mushroom (Lentinula edodes) mycelia. It is formulated to support healthy immune function, including the activity of key immune cells involved in the body’s natural defense processes. It has been studied in over 30 human clinical trials and is manufactured through a patented, controlled fermentation process by AminoUp Co., Ltd. It is the only active ingredient in the product.
This standardized extract contains bioactive compounds that support immune system balance and natural killer (NK) cell activity — important components of immune surveillance.
AHCC® by Wellex is designed for individuals looking to support immune resilience, particularly during periods of increased stress, seasonal immune challenges, or recovery. It may also be used as part of a broader wellness strategy to support the body’s natural immune response to viral challenges, including HPV.
AHCC is intended to complement foundational health practices such as adequate sleep, stress management, balanced nutrition, and regular movement.
