Kinoko AHCC Immune Support Supplement-Review and Giveaway!!

Don't you hate the colds and flus that seem to hang around forever (especially during winter)? I love winter itself, but could certainly live without getting the flu! It always seems to strike at the most inopportune times (for example, I was sick over Thanksgiving weekend-missed out on one of my favorite times of the year!).  I recently found out about a product called Kinoko AHCC, produced by Quality of Life Labs. Kinoko AHCC (stands for Active Hexose Correlated Compound) is Japan's #1 top-selling immune support dietary supplement, and is now available in the US. AHCC has been shown to significantly increase immune response, and improves Natural Killer cell 
function. What I like best about this product is that it is natural, and has no side effects! I have been taking this for a few weeks, and I haven't caught anything (hooray!), even though the flu usually passes through our family around this time each year. In addition to boosting the immune system, Kinoko AHCC helps you sleep better, energizes, and increases the ability of your body to fight off attacks on healthy cells. 


"Active Hexose Correlated Compound (AHCC®) is the product of a highly specialized manufacturing process developed in Japan during the mid-1980s. AHCC® is an extract obtained from a hybridization of several species of mushroom mycelia. Cultivated under exacting conditions, the product is microencapsulated to protect the compound's integrity. This product was developed in Japan using state-of-the-art biotechnology to create a formula which would be more effective than using any combination of single mushroom products. This proprietary technology is exclusive to AHCC® ensuring a consistent, efficacious, and safe product.
Over 700 hospitals and medical clinics worldwide recommend AHCC to their patients. More than 15 books and hundreds of periodical articles have been written about AHCC. Also, over 17 published research studies exist on AHCC (some in peer reviewed journals), 16 Abstracts, 11 presentations, and 23 basic and clinical research summaries. In sum, AHCC has an impressive number of quality research trials showing its safety and efficacy over the last 14 years.
AHCC is extremely safe. First, through historical knowledge of the mushroom product which have been used as food since ancient times. Second, through observation of thousands of patients in hospitals and in clinical trials where no side effects have been observed. And lastly, animal studies show very low toxic potential in both acute dose and long-term studies.
An AHCC placebo controlled scientific trial published in a peer reviewed journal showed that patients who used AHCC regularly over a ten year period had consistent and significant improvement as compared to the placebo group."
