Ethno Alchemy – Turkey Tail Extract 30ml

Key Benefits of Turkey Tail:

1. Immune System Support

   • Turkey Tail contains polysaccharides (PSK = Polysaccharide-K, PSP = Polysaccharide Peptide) which help enhance immune response.

   • Studies show PSK and PSP stimulate immune cells (like natural killer cells, dendritic cells, monocytes) helping the body defend against pathogens.

2. Gut Health & Microbiome Balance

   • Turkey Tail acts as a prebiotic: it helps increase beneficial gut bacteria (e.g. Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus) while suppressing harmful species.

   • Improvements in gut health have been associated with better digestion, improved mucosal lining, and general GI comfort.

3. Antioxidant & Anti-Inflammatory Effects

   • Has a rich array of antioxidant compounds (phenols, flavonoids, etc.) that may reduce oxidative stress.

   • May help reduce chronic inflammation, which is linked to many health issues.

4. Adjunctive / Supportive Role in Cancer Therapies

   • PSK is approved in some countries (e.g. Japan) as an adjunct (supporting) therapy in certain cancers. Clinical trials show some benefit in survival rates or quality of life when used with chemotherapy/radiation.

   • Some lab and animal studies show Turkey Tail extracts can inhibit tumor growth or help stop cancer cell spread.

5. Antimicrobial / Antiviral Activity

   • Some in vitro (lab) evidence that Turkey Tail extracts have antibacterial effects (against bacteria like Staph aureus, E. coli) and antiviral actions (against viruses in some studies).

   • Might help the body handle infections / reduce severity of some infections by boosting immune function.

6. Metabolic & Other Health Effects

   • Some animal studies suggest Turkey Tail may help with blood sugar regulation, reducing insulin resistance.

   • Improvement in fatigue and endurance in some preclinical studies.
