Turkey Tail
What is the Turkey Tail Extract?
The turkey tail mushroom (Trametes versicolor) has anti-cancer properties, strengthens the immune system, helps fight infections and colds, and balances the digestive system.
​
It contains a large amount of polysaccharides and triterpenes that give it its immune-regulating properties.

How does it work?
Something unique about this mushroom is the PSK (Krestin polysaccharide) and PSP (Polysaccharide peptide) beta-glucans.
​
PSK and PSP regenerate white cells and stimulate the growth of T cells, macrophages, and NK (natural killer) cells, thus restoring the immune system.
​
In Japan, PSK is the best-selling cancer medicine and can be used in conjunction with chemotherapy and radiation.
​
The PSP (polysaccharide peptide) it contains has a probiotic effect that contributes to intestinal health and better digestion.
​
It increases beneficial intestinal bacteria and decreases malignant bacteria such as E. coli.
​
It also has powerful anti-inflammatory properties that help alleviate problems such as colitis.

Turkey Tail & Science
Paul Stamets is an American mycologist who has devoted much of his career to researching medicinal mushrooms.Together with his wife, his company Fungi Perfecti offers mushroom extracts for medicinal purposes and talks about their benefits. His mother was diagnosed with an aggressive breast cancer at the age of 84. She participated in a clinical trial with turkey tail capsules and two years later announced that she was cancer-free at a TED conference.
Another famous researcher is George Hudler, professor in the Department of Plant Pathology and Plant Microbe Biology at Cornell University.
