AHCC 500 mg shiitake + alpha-glucans, 60 capsules

Extract of the shiitake mushroom (Lentinula edodes)

AHCC® is a product of the renowned Amino Up Co. from Japan, which has been producing it since 1989 using a fermentation process that has been continuously improved over the years. It is assumed that the same starter culture is used for each production run. This ensures a constant composition and high quality of the end product. A patented process ensures that the alpha-glucan content is high. These are polysaccharides that are only naturally present in small quantities in shiitake mushrooms. Fermentation takes around forty days. The shiitake mushroom is cultivated on a specially developed liquid nutrient medium made from rice bran. During the fermentation process, the shiitake mushroom transforms the components of the medium into other nutrients. This results in the unique composition of AHCC®, which cannot be compared with conventionally dried shiitake mushrooms. After a period of forty days, the insoluble cell components are separated by centrifugation. This produces a liquid ("supernatant") with a high content of alpha-glucans and other nutrients. After spray drying, AHCC® powder is ultimately obtained from this, which can be filled into capsules. The manufacturing process ensures that the sensitive natural components of the extract are preserved.

Vitals, our new brand from 2025

We are constantly on the lookout for brands that represent our ideals: The highest quality, consistent omission of superfluous additives such as titanium dioxide or porcine gelatine, very good value for money and absolute reliability in delivery to us and therefore also to customers.
This is very difficult because such companies are extremely rare among the mass of manufacturers of food supplements that are now on the market. But we have managed to find them again, with Vitals from the Netherlands!

Manufacturer's address: Vitals Voedingssupplementen BV, Pieter Lieftinckweg 29, 1505 HX Zaandam, Netherlands. E-mail: customer service@vitals.eu.
