Since its development in Japan in 1986, AHCC has been manufactured exclusively by Amino Up Co., Ltd. through a proprietary, multi-stage industrial process. This fact makes attempting to replicate Active Hexose Correlated Compound at home not only impossible but also potentially risky, as it lacks the specific strains and sterile lab conditions required.

Over 700 clinics and hospitals in Japan use AHCC, an immune-modulating supplement derived from the mycelia of the shiitake mushroom. This fact immediately clarifies that while AHCC is sourced from shiitake, they are not the same thing, but rather a processed extract with unique properties.
