Willow Wellness Turkey Tail
Ailments
A species of medicinal mushroom, Turkey Tail has been embraced by TCM practitioners since the early history of medicine. Although it has long been valued for its health promoting qualities, it has only recently gained popularity, finding itself as the focus of some very promising research.
Turkey Tail contains a high concentration of two polysaccharides – polysaccharide K (PSK) and polysaccharide peptide (PSP). These polypeptide extracts are gaining much attention in human medical cancer trials and informal anecdotal reports as a possible therapy for certain cancers. Research suggests they have the potential to modify our biological response by stimulating the immune system and inducing possible therapeutic effects.
As it is packed with a high content of powerful antioxidants, this mushroom may also be considered as one of the best adaptogens, helping the body to react to internal and external stressors.
Turkey Tail can also be taken to benefit your digestive health. This can be attributed to the polysaccharide fibre found in the mushroom that is believed to promote the growth of good bacteria in the gut.
While traditionally used for overall health as well as in response to illness, modern studies continue to highlight the extremely beneficial uses of this functional mushroom.
Dosage
Take 1 or 2 capsules daily or as prescribed by your healthcare practitioner.
