Turkey Tail Mushroom, scientifically known as Trametes versicolor, is gaining recognition as a superfood with exceptional health benefits. This versatile mushroom, also known as Coriolus versicolor and Polyporus versicolor, is a natural health enhancer found in wooded areas worldwide. Its striking appearance, resembling a turkey's tail, makes it easily identifiable.
A key benefit of Turkey Tail Mushroom is its remarkable ability to boost the immune system. Rich in polysaccharides, particularly the well-studied compounds PSK (Polysaccharide-K) and PSP (Polysaccharide-Peptide), Turkey Tail enhances immune function and helps the body fight infections.
Turkey Tail has gained attention in the medical community for its potential in cancer therapy. Studies indicate that PSK and PSP, extracted from Turkey Tail, improve survival rates in various cancers, including stomach and lung cancer. These compounds aid in strengthening the immune response during chemotherapy and radiation therapy, helping in recovery and potentially in cancer prevention.
