Turkey Tail mushrooms are rich in polysaccharides, which are complex carbohydrates with various health benefits. These compounds play a crucial role in supporting overall well-being. They enhance immune function by stimulating immune cells, promoting a robust defense against infections and illnesses. Their potent antioxidant properties help combat oxidative stress, protecting cells and supporting longevity. Research suggests that polysaccharide peptide (PSP) and polysaccharide krestin (PSK) have potential anti-cancer effects, inhibiting tumor growth and enhancing chemotherapy effectiveness. Additionally, these polysaccharides contribute to gut health by acting as prebiotics, nourishing beneficial gut bacteria as well as supporting liver function and aiding the detoxification processes. The Turkey Tail mushroom is the natural choice for immune support, cancer prevention, and overall health.
