COYNE AHCC MYCELIA EXTRACT

• Active Hexose Correlated Compound (AHCC), a supplement derived from shiitake mushroom mycelia, is explored for its potential in cancer treatment, primarily for its immunomodulatory effects and ability to mitigate chemotherapy side effects.
• AHCC is a standardized extract of cultured Lentinula edodes (shiitake mushroom) mycelia, containing α-glucans, which are thought to stimulate the immune system.
• AHCC is thought to work by regulating both innate and adaptive immune responses, leading to enhanced tumor surveillance.
• It may also induce apoptosis (programmed cell death) in cancer cells, potentially inhibiting tumor growth. 
• Evidence suggests that AHCC may potentially reduce the negative side effects of chemotherapy, such as bone marrow suppression, hepatotoxicity, and nephrotoxicity. Research on animals has demonstrated that AHCC can also delay tumor growth and boost tumor immune system protection. This may result in an improved quality of life for cancer patients, especially those receiving chemotherapy treatments.

Ingredient facts:

• In 1989, Japanese scientists created a natural compound by hybridising different mushrooms used in traditional remedies. This compound has been applied to over 100,000 patients to help bolster immune health.
• Research shows AHCC may enhance cancer treatment results by increasing survival rates and decreasing recurrence.
• A study in mice showed that AHCC increased the antitumor activity of cisplatin and mitigated its adverse effects. 
• Another study demonstrated that AHCC significantly delayed tumor development in mice after inoculation of either melanoma or lymphoma. 
• A study in patients with pancreatic cancer showed that AHCC supplementation lowered the side effects of gemcitabine. 

Directions:

• Adults and children above 12 years: Take 3 to 5 capsules with a full glass of water upon awakening on an empty stomach 1 hour before breakfast.
• It is essential to discuss AHCC with a healthcare provider, especially if you are taking other medications, as it may interact with certain drugs, including doxorubicin, ondansetron, and aromatase inhibitors.

Timing of AHCC Use:

• Between Chemotherapy Cycles: Some health professionals recommend taking AHCC between chemotherapy cycles to allow the body to recover and strengthen its immune system. 
• During Chemotherapy: Others suggest that AHCC can be taken during chemotherapy to potentially reduce side effects and support immune function. 
• Individualized Approach: The best approach may depend on the individual patient's needs, cancer type, and chemotherapy regimen. Please always consult your doctor.
