At Nordic Labs, quality is not a slogan, it is the foundation of every formula we create. Our commitment to pharmaceutical‑grade standards leads us to work exclusively with the most respected laboratories in the world. One of these partners is Amino Up, a globally renowned research facility based in Sapporo, Japan, known for producing some of the most advanced functional ingredients available today.
AHCC® – A Breakthrough from Japan
Among the exceptional raw materials we use, one stands above the rest: AHCC® (Active Hexose Correlated Compound) a unique extract derived from the mycelia of Lentinula edodes (Shiitake). AHCC is the result of over 30 years of Japanese research, used in clinical studies across leading universities and medical institutions worldwide.
What makes AHCC extraordinary is its unmatched bioavailability, standardized alpha‑glucan profile, and documented immune‑modulating properties. It is one of the few natural compounds with such a strong scientific portfolio behind it.
Why We Source AHCC Only from Amino Up
Amino Up is the original developer and sole global producer of authentic AHCC. Their facility operates under strict pharmaceutical‑grade protocols, including:
- ISO‑certified production standards
- Advanced enzymatic extraction technology
- Full traceability from cultivation to final material
- Independent quality audits and clinical validation
This is why Nordic Labs chooses Amino Up – because authenticity matters. There is only one AHCC in the world, and it comes from Japan.
ETAS® – Another World-Class Ingredient
Our collaboration with Amino Up also includes ETAS®, a patented asparagus extract studied for its ability to support stress resilience and healthy cortisol balance. ETAS is another example of a raw material that meets our strict criteria: clinically researched, standardized, and produced with absolute precision.

This is the difference between ordinary supplementation and Nordic Labs.
