Traditional Background

Turkey Tail, also known as Trametes versicolor or Coriolus versicolor, is one of the most studied medicinal mushrooms in traditional and modern herbalism.
Used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Japanese Kampo medicine, Turkey Tail is revered for supporting immune balance, digestive health, and recovery during periods of stress or convalescence.
Its characteristic fan-like shape and colourful bands resemble the plumage of a wild turkey’s tail, inspiring its common name.

Beta-glucans: Complex polysaccharides that interact with immune receptors to help regulate the body’s response to pathogens and cellular stress.

Phenolic compounds and flavonoids: Contribute antioxidant protection, helping the body defend against oxidative damage and maintain healthy cellular function.
