BE AWARE, CAN CAUSE SEVERE ANXIETY!!!!
If I can save only just one person from the Hell I went through, it's already worth to write this review.
I was diagnosed with HPV Cin3 and I read a lot of promising reviews about this product regarding the help it can provide to fight w the virus. So I bought it and I took 3gr/day as it's advised for HPV.
We just bought a house and moved to a new area, we were under a lot of stress that comes with this kind of life change. I never ever had anxiety before, it was even hard for me to figure out what I am feeling not much after I started to take the pills. But it wasn't strong and very occasional, my husband said probably I am just stressing out because of the move. And then in the mid-September boom, a full-on anxiety attack started, tightening in the chest, elevated heartbeat, continuous pressure in my gut, fight or flight mode on day and night. Couldn't eat, couldn't sleep in 5 days in a row. I stopped all my vitamins thinking maybe something causing it. Slowly I got better, and I started to take only one of my vitamins again (cause that was the most important for my HPV), AHCC. 1 week later, boom again, got the same symptoms, I went without sleep for 7 days. None. not even an hour. nada. I barely was able to take care of my kids' basic needs. I spent $$$ for natural anti-anxiety supplements, reading hours about anxiety, started to take Xanax, signed up for consulting.... etc. I didn't understand what's happening, me, a happy, good sleeper woman one day flips around 180. I am still not OK, but at least I found out the reason. Under mental stress, AHCC increases sympathetic nervous activity! The sympathetic nervous system directs the body's rapid involuntary response to dangerous or stressful situations. A flash flood of hormones boosts the body's alertness and heart rate, sending extra blood to the muscles. Breathing quickens, delivering fresh oxygen to the brain, and an infusion of glucose is shot into the bloodstream for a quick energy boost.
WHY IS THIS INFORMATION NOT SHOWN ON THIS COMPANY'S WEBSITE?! WHY THERE ARE NO ANY WARNINGS??! DON'T TAKE THIS PILL IF YOU ARE UNDER STRESS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO TURN INTO THE SHADOW OF YOURSELF BURIED IN PANIC AND FEAR!
