Quality of Life Kinoko RX AHCC 軟膠囊

Kinoko RX, Platinum, Gold: which is which

Quality of Life make several AHCC products under the Kinoko name and people mix them up constantly, which the query data makes obvious. They differ in AHCC concentration per softgel and in what else is included. RX is the one on this page.

If you were sent here looking for Platinum or Gold, they're different products. Ask us and we'll tell you which we have rather than letting you guess from the label.

What AHCC is

A compound derived from the mycelia of shiitake mushrooms, developed in Japan, where most of the research on it has been done. It's one of the better studied mushroom-derived supplements, though "better studied" in this category still means a modest body of work.

Sixty softgels.

Taking it

On an empty stomach is the usual recommendation, which is unusual for a supplement and easy to miss. Most people take it first thing or before bed for that reason.

The Japanese research protocols typically run several weeks to a few months, so plan on more than one bottle if you want a fair trial.

Before you start

Mushroom allergy is the obvious consideration. Check with your doctor if you're pregnant, nursing, taking medication or managing a health condition. If you're under the care of a specialist for anything, tell them you're taking this rather than assuming a supplement is irrelevant to them.
