AHCC®
AHCC® works as a biological response modifier, which means it turns up the dial on your natural immune response and strengthens your resistance.* It works by increasing the numbers and activity of white blood cells in the body. AHCC® increases the activity of natural killer cells, the body’s first line of defense, by as much as 300-800%.* It boosts populations of macrophages, which engulf and destroy foreign material.* It increases the number of dendritic cells, which identify immune threats and lead T cells to them.* And it boosts the numbers and activity of T cells, which recognize previously encountered immune threats and eliminate them on the spot.*
We make honest products that work
In the Hudson River Valley of New York, Quality of Life crafts the world’s finest nutritional supplements for a variety of health concerns. We don’t follow fads; we follow the science. We obsess over things like bioavailability, standardization, molecular weight, dissolution, permeability, and well-controlled human clinical trials. It’s because we believe that attention to science makes supplements that work.
The Most Effective Medicinal Mushroom Product Available
What makes AHCC® so effective? First, it contains a special class of polysaccharides called alpha glucans, which are powerful immune-boosters.* Glucans are common in all medicinal mushrooms, but the alpha glucans in AHCC® are more potent than the beta-glucans found in most other mushrooms. Second, AHCC® solves the principal problem facing most medicinal mushroom supplements: poor absorption. While most medicinal mushroom extracts have a molecular weight of more than 200,000 daltons, AHCC® is manufactured through a patented process that reduces its molecular size to under 5,000 daltons — increasing absorption and enhancing efficacy.

Our Story
Our company was founded on a simple premise: Your nutritional supplements should work.
Sounds obvious, right? Yet all too often, supplements make big promises and then deliver disappointing results.
There’s a reason for this. Well, two reasons, really: ineffective ingredients and inadequate doses.
What makes a supplement work
To know that a vitamin or amino acid or herb works, it has to be tested in humans. That’s because what works in a test tube or an animal doesn’t always work in a person. (In fact, it rarely does.)
Once an ingredient has passed the human clinical research test, it needs to be provided at the studied dosage. Otherwise, there’s no guarantee it will have the effect you want. (In fact, it probably won’t.)
Many nutritional supplements don’t work because they either a.) don’t contain clinically validated ingredients or b.) don’t provide adequate doses. It’s a big problem. And it’s sad, because supplements have so much power to foster health and well-being when they’re formulated correctly.
A company is born
More than 20 years ago, our founding team attended a research symposium in Sapporo, Japan, where they learned about an amazing mushroom extract called AHCC®. This extract was widely used in Japan but was unheard of in the United States. As they listened to various scientific presentations on this ingredient, they kept hearing one sentence over and over: AHCC® improves people's quality of life. And so, an idea was born.
They set out on a mission to bring this unique ingredient into the United States and to educate Americans about its benefits. And what would they name their company?
"Quality of Life" of course!
We've come a long way since those days, having brought over a dozen other innovative ingredients into the U.S. market from Japan and various other parts of the world. But one thing has stayed consistent: Our desire to improve your quality of life by manufacturing the most efficacious supplements on earth. Today, we remain the only company in the supplement industry that can make you the following promise:
Every single ingredient in every one of our products is backed by human studies and delivered in doses consistent with clinical research.
No exceptions, no compromises.
Clinically validated ingredients. Researched doses. That’s why our products work so well!
Throughout our journey, we’ve received prestigious awards and recognition for our efforts. But the greatest rewards are the emails, letters, and 5-star reviews we get from our customers telling us how we’ve changed their lives for the better. It is our sincerest hope that we improve yours too.
We source only the best.
We select the most bioavailable forms of vitamins, minerals, botanicals, peptides, amino acids, and coenzymes, so you absorb and utilize what you take. We opt for concentrated herbal extracts, standardized to contain precise amounts of herbal actives, to ensure consistency from batch to batch and bottle to bottle. We focus on ingredients that are released slowly over time, so your blood levels stay consistently elevated and you can reap more benefits.
We manufacture with care.
Most of our supplements are manufactured in a state-of-the-art 70,000-square foot manufacturing facility certified by NSF International, the world’s foremost quality control certifier for nutritional supplements. This facility is equipped with a pioneering laboratory, allowing for quality control testing at each stage of production. Our products are packaged in amber glass bottles with metal caps — which protects their contents against moisture, oxygen, and light — and sealed with a tamper proof band.
We test, test, and test again.
We test each of our raw materials and finished products for identity, purity, strength, and composition, ensuring that what’s on the label is what’s in the bottle. We also perform dissolution testing to ensure our capsules dissolve properly and release their contents into your gut. Finally, we subject our products to accelerated stability testing to make sure they remain potent not just at the time of manufacture but by the time they reach your door.
-
Clinically validated
We know you are coming to us for help with a specific health issue that’s dragging you down. We take your trust in us to help you feel better seriously. That’s why we only use ingredients that have been proven effective in clinical research.
-
Researched doses
It’s frustrating to buy a product that doesn’t work. Yet if you only take a fraction of the researched dose of an ingredient, you probably won’t get the results you’re looking for. That’s why we make sure every dose in our products is a researched dose.
-
Certified pure & potent
It’s important that your supplement contains everything it should (like the listed ingredients, at the listed potencies) and nothing it shouldn’t (like contaminants and adulterants). That’s why we always subject our finished products to 7 quality assurance tests.

Frequently Asked Questions
If l am allergic to mushrooms, can ltake AHCC®?
If l am allergic to mushrooms, can ltake AHCC®?
Allergies to mushrooms are most often associated with exposure to mushroom spores. These spores originate in the top of the mushroom, called the fruiting body. However, AHCC®is derived from the mycelia, or the root of the mushroom, which does not contain spores. In addition, as part of the manufacturing process, the raw material is subjected to a fermentation process that breaks down the high molecular weight molecules that are very tough to digest into low molecular weight compounds. This process further lowers any allergenic potential. Many people who believe they are allergic to mushrooms take AHCC®successfully. However, if you are concerned, please check with a healthcare professional that specializes in natural products or begin taking AHCC®very slowly. This can be done by starting with a quarter of a capsule on the tip of your tongue and if you don't experience itching in your mouth or other signs of allergy, work your way up to 2 to 6 capsules per day over a period of several days.
Does AHCC® lose its effectiveness over time?
Does AHCC® lose its effectiveness over time?
No AHCC® does not lose its effectiveness over time. As shown in an AHCC® placebo-controlled scientific trial, patients who used AHCC® regularly over a ten-year period had consistent and significant improvement as compared to the placebo group, therefore showing no signs of the ingredient losing effectiveness.*
Can AHCC® be taken with other medications?
Can AHCC® be taken with other medications?
Two studies conducted at the highly prestigious MD Anderson Cancer Center and published in the Journal of Integrative Oncology explored AHCC®’s interaction with other medications. These studies determined that AHCC® is metabolized via a pathway called “P450 2D6,” meaning that AHCC® has the potential to increase or decrease the absorption of a drug that uses the same pathway. Therefore if you are taking another medication and are concerned about possible interactions, we recommend you ask a medical professional if the drug you are taking is metabolized through the cytochrome P450 2D6 class of enzymes. Most likely, the answer will be “no,” which means that AHCC® is highly unlikely to interact with the drug you are taking.
