AHCComplete®, Immune Stimulation with Alpha and Beta Glucans, 90 VegeCaps

AHC Complete® – Immunomodulation and Natural Defenses

EnergyBalance® AHC Complete is an advanced dietary supplement that combines fermented Shiitake mycelium (Active Hexose Correlated Compound – AHCC®-like) with other natural “immune-active” ingredients. It is based on an approach that merges tradition and modern science, developed by Dr. Wurster in Switzerland.

Balancing the Immune System

This supplement, developed at EnergyBalance facilities in collaboration with Dr. Jens Wurster, is a composition of high-quality ingredients known in Asia for centuries.

It is considered an immunomodulator: it does not stimulate the immune system nonspecifically but contributes to its balance.
Preclinical studies suggest that AHCC may influence NK cell (Natural Killer) activity and modulate regulatory cytokines as well as the function of macrophages and dendritic cells.

In Japan and the USA, AHCC has been used for years as a supportive supplement. However, it is not a medicine but a nutraceutical.

What is Active Hexose Correlated Compound (AHCC®)?

AHCC® is a patented extract from the mycelium of the mushroom Lentinula edodes (Shiitake). Unlike the simple dried mushroom, the mycelium contains short-chain alpha-glucans, bioactive substances that easily cross the intestinal mucosa and are involved in the modulation of natural defenses. AHCC® also provides a complex spectrum of polysaccharides, amino acids, fatty acids, and micronutrients working synergistically.

Beta-Glucans: The First Line of Defense

In addition to alpha-glucans, AHC Complete® also provides beta-1,3-glucans from inactivated yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). These compounds have been scientifically studied for decades, as they support both innate defenses (macrophages, NK cells) and adaptive defenses.

Botanical Synergy: Olive and Ginger

• Oleuropein from olive leaves – a polyphenol with antioxidant properties, part of the olive tree’s natural defense system.
• Ginger (gingerols and 6-shogaol) – one of the oldest medicinal spices, traditionally used to support digestive wellness and vitality.

Vitamin D and Selenium: Key Micronutrients

The formula contains two essential micronutrients with recognized EFSA claims:

• Vitamin D – contributes to the normal function of the immune system (EFSA).
• Selenium – contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to the protection of cells from oxidative stress (EFSA).

When should it be taken?

AHC Complete® is especially suitable during seasonal changes, periods of fatigue and stress, or whenever the immune system needs extra support. In case of existing conditions or ongoing therapies, medical advice is recommended.
