If you want to keep your immune system strong and prevent illnesses, look for this supplement....AHCC (Active Hexose Correlated Compound) in health food stores.
It's a proprietary extract produced from specially cultivated and hybridized mushrooms.
There has been extensive research in humans and non clinical studies finding that AHCC supports immune system function through it's effects on macrophages and NK (Natural Killer) cells.
NK cells and the intercellular mediators they produce are critical for the maintenance of healthy cell cycle function. AHCC has also been shown to possess antioxidant properties and supports healthy liver function.
They give this supplement in Japan to patients with cancer to keep the immune system strong.
Take it when needed, follow instructions on bottle and you don't need the maximum dosage either.
You don't need to take it everyday, just when you start feeling ill or when someone around you is sick.
If you take prescription medications, you can ask your doctor for advice.
Of course, most medical doctors know very little about vitamins or supplements since they never learned about them in medical school.
Good health to everyone!
