What is AHCC?
AHCC is short for active hexose correlated compound. Compare the serving on the label with the bottle count and the price.
AHCC is short for active hexose correlated compound. On a finished supplement, the useful comparison is the serving the label actually states, how many capsules are in the bottle, and what that bottle costs.
Read the serving, not just the front
A large number on the front can be a per-capsule figure or a full serving. NovaHerbs AHCC states 2,800 mg of its AHCC blend per 4-capsule serving, with 180 capsules and 45 servings in the bottle. That is the featured choice in this comparison.
Why the milligram line is tricky
Some labels put wax, cyclodextrin, dextrin, or cellulose inside an AHCC proprietary blend. When you compare bottles, use the serving the facts panel names and the price tied to that exact count. NovaHerbs publishes both a count and a one-time price, which is why it leads the value comparison here.
