Description
Mushrooms 4 Life Turkey Tail – 100% Turkey Tail mushroom fruiting body. Wild crafted for anti-viral support, digestive health and energy.
It is hot-water extracted (Up to 8:1 extract ratio) to release and concentrate its polysaccharides including beta-glucans. It has a minimum of 30% beta-glucans to support immunity.
Why Turkey Tail?
A symbol of longevity and health, Turkey Tail is the most extensively researched of all medicinal mushrooms. Traditionally used for removing toxins, increasing energy, strengthening the immune system, and supporting liver health.
Immunity
Strengthens actions of immune system. PSK and PSP compounds are immunomodulating, restoring balance to the immune system.
Anti-Viral
Strong anti-viral effects reported based on production of PSK and various polysaccharide-peptide complexes. PSK exhibits anti-HIV activity. It has also shown anti-viral activity against herpes simplex. Another small study on clearance of HPV in combination with reishi.
Brain Health
Lion’s mane has long been revered for its cognitive and neurological effects. Studies have found it stimulates production of nerve growth factor (NGF) which helps to maintain the neurons, which are the brain cells responsible for helping us to process and transmit information. It is useful for learning and memory, and helps to optimise neurogenesis; the creation and growth of new brain cells, making it an ideal nootropic for supporting focus and productivity.
Digestive Health
PSP acts as a prebiotic to modulate the microbiome composition. Studies have shown beneficial changes in gut bacteria and suppression of pathogenic bacteria.
Liver Health
Polysaccharide extracts demonstrate hepatoprotective properties. Has been used in medicine for chronic hepatitis.
Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

Why mushrooms?
Mushrooms are nature’s biological communicators, forming vast invisible networks that connect individual plants, and transfer water and nutrients. As mushrooms grow, they enrich the forest floor and plants in a symbiotic relationship, a form of communication which some have coined the Wood Wide Web. This ability to ‘speak to’ the plant kingdom at a deep cellular level is also what makes them so valuable to us. In humans, research shows they may be regarded as biological response modifiers (BRMs), acting on the immune system to restore balance where it is needed.
Fungi kingdom
Although we might assume fungi to be part of the plant kingdom, they are more closely related to animals, and humans and fungi share a common ancestry in 30% of our DNA. To date approximately 700 species of mushroom have been identified as having therapeutic value and together they form some of the most potent medicines found in the natural world.
Potent natural medicines
Beyond their capacity to colonise, mushrooms have developed an innate hardiness over many millennia. This gives them a natural advantage in a range of habitats, from Chaga conk in Siberia—which can survive temperatures of -40C—to the high Tibetan plateaus which are home to a rare species of Cordyceps fungus. It also means they have evolved some unique defences against disease in a set of pharmacologically active compounds that can benefit humans.
- Beta glucans and related polysaccharides (complex sugars) which have been studied for their effects on immune function and the gut microbiome
- Triterpenes, a group of bioactive, anti-inflammatory chemicals related to steroids
- Proteins with antimicrobial and immune-modulating effects
- Enzymes including digestive and antioxidant enzymes
- A good source of vitamins B, D and minerals such as zinc, selenium and manganese
