What is turkey tail?
Turkey tail is one of the most common mushrooms in the world, growing on dead logs in striped, fan-shaped layers that look like a turkey's tail feathers. It is naturally rich in beta-glucans, a type of fibre.
Traditional use
Turkey tail has been used in Chinese and Japanese traditional practice for centuries, usually as a tea, as part of everyday wellness routines.
What research is looking at
Researchers have studied turkey tail's beta-glucans and their role in normal immune function, and more recently its fibre and the gut microbiome. Much of this work is ongoing.
How to take it
Take 1 gummy daily, at any time of day.
Who should check first
Speak to your doctor first if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have an autoimmune condition, or take immune-suppressing or blood-thinning medication. Avoid if you are allergic to mushrooms.
