What Others Are Saying

"I am a primary care physician, working primarily with the pediatrics population, and I am routinely exposed to different pathogens, including the onslaught of seasons colds which come walking through my door this time of the year. I have used several products from RAW Forest Foods, and have always been more than satisfied with the quality of their products, but I want to give a specific mention to the immune support that Trametes versicolor (Turkey Tail) has awarded me over the course of approximately 1.5 years of continual use. I do not tend to be a sick person, but I usually end up catching a cold several times a year--similar to the elementary school teacher and her exposure to the common cold. Since starting and using Trametes versicolor I have not been sick once. Not even felt any sickness coming on. This has added greatly to the quality of my work and my life, and I am tremendously grateful to that. If I could recommended a natural product through my work I would, without a doubt. recommend this. But alas, it is out of the scope of medicine." — Michelle

Turkey Tail Extract Key Benefits

The largest US clinical trial on Turkey Tail was performed by Bastyr University, which confirmed the use of Turkey Tail mushrooms in the treatment of several kinds of cancer, including cervical, breast, lung, gastric, colon, sarcoma, carcinoma, and esophageal. The same study confirmed the use of Turkey Tail in cases of immunodeficiency, hepatitis B and C, and malaria. In addition to having immunomodulating and anticancer abilities, Turkey Tail has also shown an ability to fight viruses, which is a highly sought after ability in modern medicine.

Bastyr University isolated the following active medicinal constituents:

• β-glucan-proteins (Coriolan, PSK). Polysaccharide K (PSK) is composed of 30% polysaccharide, 6% nitrogen, and 15% protein;
• Ergosterol (pro-vitamin D2) derivatives;
• Polysaccharopeptide (PSP).*

Traditional Medicine

Folklore remedies of Turkey Tail include the treatment of lung and liver infections. In China, Turkey Tail has been used as a preventive and curative agent for liver infections and liver cancer. In Japan, it is considered a panacea for a variety of cancers. Overall, the mycelium and fruiting body of the mushroom is considered an immune stimulant and is believed to have anticarcinogenic activity.

In Traditional and Classical Chinese Medicine, Turkey Tail, also known as Yun Zhi, is seen to manifest its therapeutic actions in the Spleen, Lung, and Liver meridians.
It does so by invigorating the Spleen and eliminating dampness, replenishing Jing and Qi, all through its use as a general tonic and in regulating immune functions.

Today, in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Turkey Tail is used to clear dampness, reduce phlegm, heal pulmonary disorders, strengthen the physique, increase energy and benefit people with chronic diseases (Yang & Yong, 1989, Ying et al., 1987). Furthermore, Turkey Tail is employed by TCM doctors as a useful treatment for infection and/or inflammation of the upper respiratory, urinary and digestive tracts. Turkey Tail is also regarded as curative to liver ailments, including hepatitis B and chronic active hepatitis, and is used to treat general weakness of the immune system (Ying et al., 1987).
