What is Turkey Tail Mushroom Powder?

Trametes Versicolor – also known as Coriolus Versicolor and Polyporus Versicolor – is a common polypore mushroom found throughout the world. Polypore mushrooms are a type of fungus that has large fruiting bodies with either pores or tubes on the underside of the said fruiting body. Versicolor means "of several colors," accurately describes Turkey Tail and its different colors. Turkey Tail earned its name because its shape and varying shades resemble those of a wild turkey, T. Versicolor is commonly referred to as turkey tail.

Coriolus versicolor (Turkey Tail Mushroom) boasts many health-boosting benefits. Turkey Tail is commonly taken as a psk supplement, because it contains biological compounds that support immune function, such as polysaccharopeptide, polysaccharopeptide K, and Coriolus versicolor glucan. It is rich in polysaccharides, a type of fiber that helps support digestion, and helps support the colon, is loaded with antioxidants, and may have adaptogenic properties, which help the body with stress.

How Does Turkey Tail Mushroom Powder Work?

The Turkey Tail mushroom is filled with antioxidants, compounds that help prevent damage from free radicals and oxidative stress. Damage caused by free radicals and oxidative stress can lead to inflammation. Of the many antioxidants that Turkey Tail possesses, the most important are phenols and flavonoids. Phenols and flavonoids assist in the promotion of a healthy immune system by releasing protective compounds and reducing inflammation. In addition to containing antioxidants, Turkey Tail also provides polysaccharopeptides which boosts the immune response through reducing inflammation, activating, and inhibiting certain immune cells. Beta-glucans are another immune-boosting compound found within Turkey Tail. These sugars, common in all mushrooms, are the sought after ingredient for their medicinal qualities, helping to regulate blood sugar, lowering LDL cholesterol, and immune support.
