What is Turkey Tail?

Found mostly in temperate forest regions throughout the world, they can also thrive in a range of different environments, as long as there is adequate seasonal moisture. Turkey Tail grows on dead and decomposing hardwood logs, and especially oak. These hardwoods are broken down through the fungi’s mycelium, and their beneficial compounds funneled up to the fruiting bodies. During the rainy season, or whenever there is sufficient moisture, Turkey Tail will produce its distinctive fan-shaped fruiting bodies, where it gets its name.

Some of the beneficial compounds include polysaccharides and triterpenes. These seem to support your body’s immune system, promote cellular health, and even balance your microbiome, for greater overall vitality.

Common Issues and Solutions

For the outdoor enthusiast, health-conscious individual, or everyday person, Turkey Tail mushroom extracts provide a range of key benefits.

Turkey Tail is known to modulate, or balance the immune system. This means it may not just increase and activate a healthy immune system response, but it may also help soothe an overstimulated immune system.

Additionally, Turkey Tail contains compounds that act as prebiotics, including beta-glucans and polysaccharide-K, also known as PSK. These contain fibers which you cannot digest—but your gut bacteria can. These fibers serve as an important food source for beneficial bacteria in the gut, nourishing your digestive system and keeping levels of harmful bacteria in check.

When your gut health is balanced, Turkey Tail’s antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds are able to get to work. Together, the compounds in this fruiting body extract can reduce the effects of oxidative stress and inflammation in the gut and throughout the body. The result is greater vitality and less discomfort in whatever you’re doing.

Complementing Complete Wellness

But while Turkey Tail shines on its own, it may be even better with other mushrooms. Like many natural products, Turkey Tail extract synergizes with other mushroom products to take their benefits to another level. Complimentary mushrooms for Turkey Tail include species like Reishi, Chaga, Lion’s Mane, and more. Used together, WholeSun Wellness mushroom extracts pair with Turkey Tail to support greater energy, immunity, and many other aspects of your whole-body wellness.
