AHCC has been found to benefit the innate immune response. Innate immune cells are those that do not require a previous exposure to a pathogen in order to respond. These are cells such as natural killer (NK) cells, macrophages, monocytes, neutrophils, and mast cells.
Research has found that AHCC significantly increases natural killer (NK) cell activity in cancer patients. These NK cells are the immune cells responsible for directly attacking abnormal and virally infected cells in the body, thus helping to fight cancer and viral infections. In the same way, AHCC may be able to boost the immune response and actually prevent infections – particularly those caused by viruses. Some initial research has shown potential protection provided against the influenza (flu) and West Nile viruses, by a boosting of the innate immune response.
