Kinoko AHCC - Review and Giveaway

I know for me, when the weather starts changing...

I start the "seasonal colds."

I have always been like that and it drives me nuts!
Hot to cold!
Cold to hot!

No matter what, every time!

Well, not this time, I hope!
I received a bottle of the Kinoko AHCC Immune Booster and I am crossing my fingers that I can keep the icky germs away this time!
I like that it even tells you to take on an empty stomach for optimum absorption.

(You know, because I never think about the why... )

Anywho...
Since I am not the best at anything medical related...

I am pulling this from their site:

Q: Why is it better to take AHCC on an empty stomach?

A: If AHCC is taken with meals, it will be diluted by the food and may be excreted along with food fibers without absorption. Thus, the best time to take AHCC is 30 minutes before meals or 1 to 2 hours after a meal.

ImmunoComplex™ brings together East and West by combining Astragalus from China and medicinal mushrooms (AHCC®) from Japan with Echinacea from the Native Americas, to create a complete Quality of Life complex.

An exclusive blend of four powerful, all-natural ingredients designed to support and to strengthen your immune system.*

• Innovative, state-of-the-art, natural dietary supplement complex, specifically designed to strengthen the immune system.*

• Combines AHCC®, Astragalus, Echinacea and Vitamin C to interact synergistically

• AHCC: unique molecule processed from hybridization of several species of medicinal mushrooms scientifically shown to enhance immune response by increasing the activity of the white blood cells. (Low molecular weight, 5,000 Daltons, ensures optimal absorption.)

• ASTRAGALUS: Traditional Chinese medical herb shown to support white blood cell function.*

• ECHINACEA: Traditional Native American herb, most widely researched herb on the market. Shown to support immune function and to enhance NK cell and Interferon activity.*

• VITAMIN C: Commonly used anti-oxidant, supports immune response, produces lymphocytes (white blood cells).*

• Particularly popular during seasonal changes, especially if taken as a "daily vitamin for the immune system," as recommended.

The thing that really grabbed my attention was the Immune Boost, for sure!
But also, it helps improve your mood and your sleep... With fatigue being minimized and allowing for more energy! Yeah! I like the sound of that!
We ALL know I can use that! :)

I figure the weather is really going to start changing into cooler weather, so that means I will be starting these soon!
Do you want to start some too?

One lucky winner will win a bottle of your own!

You know, this could be a stocking stuffer! - OR - This would be nice in a care package for a student off at college! :)
