• Turkey tail enhances immune function by stimulating cytokine production, increasing natural killer cells, and other immune-boosting functions.

The Turkey Tail mushroom, or Trametes Versicolor, is one of the most studied medicinal mushrooms. It grows on dead logs worldwide and gets its name because its brown and tan rings resemble the tail feathers of a turkey. In TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), turkey tail has been used to treat lung ailments, and in Japan, the drug PSK, which is derived from turkey tail, has been used to boost the immune system when given with standard cancer treatment.

China also has a similar drug called PSP. Turkey tail contains one of the largest amounts of beta-glucans of any mushroom, which will help keep our immune system healthy when used over a long period of time.
