TURKEY TAIL 30C

Turkey Tail is one of the most-studied beneficial mushrooms. It invigorates immune cells while simultaneously making sure the immune response doesn’t overreact. As a prebiotic food for our probiotic microflora, it has also shown to improve the gut microbiome.*

Turkey Tail shows much promise in supporting the immune system. In a clinical study funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Host Defense® Turkey Tail capsules were shown to be immunologically active.*

TURKEY TAIL/MYCELIUM & FERMENTED SUBSTRATE:

A peer-reviewed, in vitro, human immune cell and immune cytokine response research study in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine verifies that:

• Mushroom mycelium is "very potent in terms of promoting immune cell function."*
• Fermented substrate, even when separated from pure mycelium, is highly active in supporting natural immune function.*
• Pure mycelium and fermented substrate each offer unique yet complementary health benefits.*
• The immune-enhancing benefits of mushrooms are generated from a very wide range of constituents, not just beta-glucans.*

In contrast to mushroom mycelium and its fermented substrate, the same immune assays were performed on brown rice substrate that was not fermented by mushroom mycelium. With the plain, unfermented rice, no significant immune activity was detected.*

This study once again confirms that not only the mycelium, but also the fermented rice substrate on which it is grown, can offer profound support for our immune system.*
