Turkey tail mushroom, scientifically known as Trametes versicolor, is a type of polypore mushroom that grows in various colors resembling the tail feathers of a turkey, hence its name. It is commonly found in forests around the world, including North America, Europe, and Asia.

Turkey tail mushrooms have been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine and by indigenous peoples for their potential health benefits. They are rich in polysaccharopeptides, polysaccharides, and beta-glucans, which are believed to have immune-boosting properties. Additionally, they contain antioxidants and other compounds that may help support overall health.

Research have shown promising evidence around the benefits of this mushroom for immune function, cancer treatment support, and gut health.

• Immunity: Turkey tail mushroom is abundant in two polysaccharides renowned for their immune-enhancing capabilities: polysaccharide-K (PSK), also known as krestin, and polysaccharide peptides (PSP). These compounds serve as immunomodulators, fostering equilibrium within the immune system and promoting its responsiveness to combat infections, cancer, and various ailments.
• Gut Health: Turkey tail mushrooms could enhance gut health by fostering the proliferation of beneficial bacteria crucial for supporting optimal digestion. Functioning as a prebiotic, turkey tail encourages the growth of beneficial microbes within the gut microbiome. Maintaining a healthy and balanced gut microbiome has been associated with better digestive function, bolstered immune resilience, and reduced susceptibility to gastrointestinal disorders and illnesses.
• Athletic Performance: Turkey tail has the potential to enhance stamina and combat fatigue, thus improving athletic performance. Research conducted on animal models revealed that turkey tail extract augmented endurance and strength in mice. Additionally, the extract mitigated physical fatigue in the mice and regulated blood sugar levels both at rest and post-exercise.
• Other benefits: In addition to the benefits listed above, Turkey Tail Mushrooms are also used to support: Bone Health, Cognitive Function, Healthy Aging and for its potential anti-cancer properties.
