Medi Mushrooms Turkey Tail/Trametes Organic Extract

Medi Mushrooms Turkey Tail/Trametes Organic Extract 400mg 60 Capsules provides a concentrated extract of Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor), one of the most extensively researched functional mushrooms for its polysaccharide content and relationship with immune function.

Turkey Tail naturally contains beta-glucans and protein-bound polysaccharides. Compounds derived from Trametes versicolor, particularly polysaccharide-K (PSK), have been the subject of significant scientific research into immune function. Pharmaceutical-grade PSK has also been studied and used as an adjunct in certain oncology settings in Japan. However, this should not be interpreted to mean that a Turkey Tail dietary supplement is equivalent to pharmaceutical PSK or can treat cancer.

Medi Mushrooms uses the fruiting body (cap and stalk) of the mushroom and a hot-water extraction process. This method helps extract water-soluble mushroom polysaccharides such as beta-glucans.

The formula is suitable for vegans and is Kosher and Halaal, with no synthetic preservatives, artificial colours or flavours.

Why Choose Medi Mushrooms Turkey Tail?

Turkey Tail is particularly valued among functional mushrooms for its naturally occurring polysaccharides and beta-glucans, compounds that have attracted substantial scientific interest for their interaction with the immune system.

Medi Mushrooms uses the fruiting body, including the cap and stalk, which is processed using hot-water extraction to make water-soluble mushroom polysaccharides more readily available within the extract.

Turkey Tail is therefore particularly suited to wellness routines focused on immune function and general physiological resilience.

Key Ingredients

Organic Turkey Tail Extract (Trametes versicolor) – 400mg

Each capsule provides 400mg organic Turkey Tail extract with beta-glucans.

Turkey Tail is a functional mushroom traditionally used in Asian wellness practices and is now widely studied for its complex polysaccharides and their potential immune-modulating properties.

Beta-Glucans

Beta-glucans are naturally occurring polysaccharides found within fungal cell walls. Mushroom beta-glucans are widely investigated for their interactions with normal immune system activity.

Protein-Bound Polysaccharides

Trametes versicolor is particularly well known for protein-bound polysaccharides such as PSK (polysaccharide-K) and related compounds.

PSK derived from Trametes versicolor has been researched extensively, including within oncology. However, the presence of Turkey Tail extract in this supplement does not establish that it provides a clinically equivalent quantity or preparation of PSK.

Warnings & Precautions

Not recommended for children under 6 years.

Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if pregnant or breastfeeding, taking medication or managing a medical condition.

Those with a mushroom allergy should avoid this product.

Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if taking immunosuppressant medication or if you have an autoimmune condition, have received an organ transplant or are undergoing treatment that affects immune function.

If undergoing chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy or any other cancer treatment, consult your oncology team before using Turkey Tail supplements.

Research involving PSK in oncology should not be extrapolated directly to this product. Pharmaceutical preparations of PSK used or studied as adjunctive therapy are not necessarily equivalent to commercially available Turkey Tail mushroom extracts.

This supplement should not be represented as treating or preventing cancer, shrinking tumours, improving the effectiveness of chemotherapy, treating bacterial or viral infections, removing toxins from tissues or replacing conventional medical treatment.

Despite the supplied claim that PSK has “no known side effects”, Turkey Tail supplements may still cause unwanted effects in some individuals, including digestive upset or allergic reactions.

Food supplements should not replace a varied, balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.

Keep out of reach of young children.
