This mushroom is well-named, as its unique colours resemble a fanned-out turkey tail. In recent years, Turkey Tail has seen growing interest thanks to numerous clinical trials that have demonstrated its multiple therapeutic properties.
Antioxidant
Turkey Tail is full of natural antioxidants (phenols and flavonoids) and beta-glucan polysaccharides with antioxidant properties (Polysaccharide-Peptide / PSP and Polysaccharide Krestin / PSK). These compounds help to reduce the damage caused by oxidative stress and, as such, it is also recommended for repairing, protecting, and even strengthening overall health.
This powerful antioxidant function also makes it a strong ally in the case of anticancer treatments (chemotherapy, radiotherapy) and helps to better support their side effects (nausea, fatigue, loss of appetite, etc.).
Due to its antioxidant properties, Turkey Tail is also an immunoprotective.
Immunoprotective
Due to its richness in polysaccharides, Turkey Tail stimulates the regeneration of immune cells, supports, and regulates the immune response by helping the body identify threats and respond to them appropriately.
Chronic inflammation, autoimmune diseases, cancers, and intestinal pathologies are often the consequence of a failing or dysfunctional immune system. A healthy and strong immune system is a key component of overall health.
Prebiotic – Intestinal Health
Intestinal imbalances are at the root of many chronic diseases. Turkey Tail helps to rebalance the gut microbiota. By promoting the proliferation of certain beneficial bacteria strains, they act as prebiotics and strengthen the intestinal lining.
This is all the more important as the digestive system and the immune system are intrinsically linked: the gut hosts the majority of immune cells (approximately 70-80%), and the gut microbiota plays a major role in immune regulation. A balanced microbiota supports immune functions, while an imbalance (dysbiosis) can lead to digestive disorders or chronic inflammatory issues.
Anti-infectious
Turkey Tail is renowned for its antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal properties and, as such, can promote the healing of mycoses, herpes, HIV, HPV (Human Papillomavirus), and hepatitis C, as well as various other viral infections.
Antitumour
Turkey Tail is renowned for its antitumour properties. In recent years, most research has focused on two of its powerful beta-glucan polysaccharides (PSPK-polysaccharide krestin and PSP-polysaccharide peptide), which are believed to be able to contain and reduce the development of tumours:
-
By toning the spleen: The spleen is where the activity of immune function cells is orchestrated. It cleans the blood by eliminating pathogenic elements or abnormal cells, such as cancerous cells. A healthy spleen supports a robust immune system, which is the body's primary mechanism for identifying and eliminating cancerous cells early on (a process called immunosurveillance). Therefore, it is a key player in the body's war against cancer.
-
By increasing the activity of certain immune function cells: This includes B and T lymphocytes as well as macrophages that will locate and destroy cancerous cells. B lymphocytes activated in the spleen produce antibodies. These antibodies can bind to cancerous cells during a process called opsonisation, thus marking them for ingestion and destruction by macrophages.
Immunotherapy has become a crucial complementary antitumour therapeutic strategy, supplementing established treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and targeted therapies.
Some research also shows that Turkey Tail can improve the effectiveness of conventional 
cancer treatments (chemotherapy and radiotherapy) by strengthening the immune system and reducing side effects such as nausea, fatigue, loss of appetite, and bone marrow suppression (which leads to a low white blood cell count).
This is a crucial advantage that has made them popular as adjuvant therapies in cancer treatment, particularly in Japan and China.
For proper use, it is advised to seek the opinion of your oncologist.
