Turkey Tail Extract

One of the best studied of all medicinal mushrooms – over 400 clinical studies have been published in Japan demonstrating immune benefit. In 1965, a chemical worker in the late stages of cancer, having been rejected from all treatments and clinics noticed his neighbour taking Turkey tail to cure himself of cancer. He took the remedy for several months and recovered. Upon returning to work, he urged his company to investigate, and ‘Krestin’ or ‘PSK’ – one of the first officially licenced mushroom-derived anti-cancer drugs was born.

Two compounds found in this mushroom (PSP and PSK) have been licenced anti-cancer drugs in Asia for decades, and strengthen the immune system. PSP has also been shown to have prebiotic activity – that is it supports the gut microbiota. Turkey tail has also been shown to be highly antiviral, beneficial for respiratory health, circulatory health, a powerful antioxidant, and much more.
