The Benefits of Turkey Tail Mushroom
The bioactive compounds within Turkey Tail mushroom are beta-glucans, mainly polysaccharopeptide (PSP) and Polysaccharide Krestin (PSK). They help to induce the production and activity of immune cells known as cytokines, which are key for cell signalling during an immune response, this in turn may help our body to more efficiently respond to infection.
PSP is not readily digestible by human intestinal enzymes, therefore it is thought to enhance the colonisation of good bacteria within the gut, potentially giving the mushroom prebiotic components.
PSK as well as an enzyme called Laccase (also produced by the mushroom) is thought to have potent antioxidant activities. [1-4]
