Organic Turkey Tail Mushroom Extract Supplement (50ml)
Turkey Tail is the top choice mushroom for supporting the immune system. This amazing mushroom is also believed to help combat cancer, have anti-oxidant properties and nurture a healthy gut. ...
Scientific studies are still in their infancy and more research is required for conclusive evidence, however here is a list of potential health benefits that Turkey Tail may offer:
1: Immune Support
Revered for it's exceptionally high levels of Beta Glucans (more than 35%), Turkey Tail is highly regarded when it comes to immune system support.
Turkey Tail has been taken for centuries in China and Japan to treat pulmonary diseases [1,2], and for a range of immunomodulatory effects [3,4].
This is made possible because the mushroom contains the polysaccharide called PSP, or Polysaccharide Peptide. These compounds are known to promote a healthy immune system by both activating and inhibiting certain types of immune cells in the body, and also by suppressing inflammation.
2: Anti Tumour
One of the most talked about health boosting properties that Turkey Tail is said to have is its ability to inhibit the growth of tumours.
A 2019 Spanish study showed that Polysaccharide-K (PSK), one of the key polysaccharides that is found within Turkey Tail, inhibited both the growth and the proliferation, or spread, of colon cancer cells [5].
PSK is an approved mushroom product used for cancer treatment in Japan, where it has been used to treat thousands of patients since the 1970's [6].
3: Antioxidant
The Turkey Tail mushroom is also packed full of antioxidants - compounds that are known to help reduce damage caused to the body through oxidative stress.
Turkey Tail contains a range of antioxidants including phenols and flavonoids, and can help to maintain your body’s vital balance. One Serbian study from 2017 detected more than 35 different phenols in a sample of Turkey Tail extract, as well as the flavonoid antioxidants quercetin and baicalein [7].
4: Gut Health
A 2017 study showed that PSP, or polysaccharide peptide, that is found in Turkey Tail has prebiotic abilities [8].
The study showed that Turkey Tail may help the gut to regulate its balance of bacteria - increasing good bacteria such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus (these being probiotics) - and at the same time reducing harmful bacteria such as Clostridium (which can cause serious bouts of sickness and diarrhoea).
