🦠 Turkey Tail Mushroom Supports Gut Health & Immunity

Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor) is one of the most studied functional mushrooms. A recent clinical trial found its polysaccharides (PSK/PSP) increase beneficial gut bacteria and may help strengthen immune function.

In oncology research, Turkey Tail extracts have been studied alongside chemotherapy, showing potential to improve immune resilience and quality of life during treatment. While more trials are needed, it’s one of the best-documented medicinal mushrooms.
