Active Hexose Correlated Compound (ahcc) Overview
Active Hexose Correlated Compound (AHCC) is a proprietary dietary supplement recognized for its potential immune-boosting properties, derived from the mycelia of Basidiomycota mushrooms, including shiitake (Lentinula edodes). Rich in alpha-glucans, AHCC is soluble in water and remains stable, with the additional advantage of enhanced intestinal solubility through micro-coating with candelilla wax. Within Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), AHCC has found extensive application for various health conditions, particularly in addressing liver damage. Research and traditional usage suggest AHCC may support immune function and mitigate chemotherapy-related side effects, prompting further investigations into its mechanisms and potential benefits.
Bazedoxifene Acetate, Conjugated Estrogens Overview
-
Estrogen and bazedoxifene tablets are used to treat hot flashes (sudden feelings of warmth, especially in the face, neck, and chest) in women who are experiencing menopause (stage of life when menstrual periods become less frequent and stop and women may experience other symptoms and body changes). Estrogen and bazedoxifene tablets are also used to prevent osteoporosis (condition in which the bones become thin and weak and break easily) in women who have undergone menopause. Estrogen is in a class of medications called hormones and bazedoxifene is in a class of medications called estrogen agonist–antagonists. Estrogen works by replacing estrogen that is normally produced by the body. Bazedoxifene is used to block the action of estrogen on the lining of the uterus, decreasing the risk of overgrowth that may lead to cancer.
