Product information for Vitals AHCC 500 mg: Application of Vitals AHCC 500 mg: The abbreviation 'AHCC' stands for 'Active Hexose Correlated Compound'. Loosely translated this means: an active substance that is bound to hexose, a monosaccharide, which has the property of quickly bringing that active substance into the bloodstream. Which active substance is this?In this case it concerns a combination (compound) of active substances (nutrients) which are extracted from the invisible, underground part of the Shiitake mushroom (Lentinula edodes). The name Shiitake comes from Japanese and means mushroom (= take) that grows on the Pasania tree (= shii).The production processThrough fermentation (one of the healthiest ways to extract and preserve active ingredients), a very high content of alpha-glucans is achieved. Another very attractive aspect of this fermentation is that the invisible, underground part of the mushroom (the mycelia) also produces other nutrients with a powerful effect.
