    We're obsessed with quality

    We source only the best.

    We select the most bioavailable forms of vitamins, minerals,botanicals, peptides, amino acids, and coenzymes, so youabsorb and utilize what you take. We opt for concentratedherbal extracts, standardized to contain precise amounts ofherbal actives, to ensure consistency from batch to batch andbottle to bottle. We focus on ingredients that are released slowlyover time, so your blood levels stay consistently elevated andyou can reap more benefits.

    We manufacture with care.

    Most of our supplements are manufactured in a state-of-the-art70,000-square foot manufacturing facility certified by NSFInternational, the world's foremost quality control certifier fornutritional supplements. This facility is equipped with apioneering laboratory, allowing for quality control testing ateach stage of production. Our products are packaged in amberglass bottles with metal caps - which protects their contentsagainst moisture, oxygen, and light - and sealed with a tamperproof band.

    We test, test, and test again.

    We test each of our raw materials and finished products foridentity, purity, strength, and composition, ensuring that what'son the label is what's in the bottle. We also perform dissolutiontesting to ensure our capsules dissolve properly and releasetheir contents into your gut. Finally, we subject our products toaccelerated stability testing to make sure they remain potentnot just at the time of manufacture but by the time they reachyour door.

      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 Tcells, which recognize previously encountered immune threats and eliminate them on the spot.*

      Frequently Asked Questions

      The same raw material is used for both Kinoko Gold and Kinoko Platinum AHCC. The only difference is that Kinoko Gold contains 500mg of AHCC per capsule, while Kinoko Platinum contains 750mg of AHCC per capsule. Similar as Kinoko Gold, Kinoko 50+ AHCC contains 500mg of AHCC per capsule. But doesn’t just deliver a powerful AHCC dose; it’s also crafted to address the exact immune challenges faced by older individuals with the addition of Lactobacillus paracasei (MCC1849), a sterilized probiotic. This makes it the ideal choice for those in this age bracket seeking enhanced immune support.

      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.

      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.*

      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.
