New Turkey Tail & Dual Extracted Mushrooms
Hey Everyone!
I had a customer recently request this one due to all of its benefits. I then researched it, and had to get it.
Turkey Tail Mushroom (Trametes versicolor) stands out, because it has two bioactive protein-bound polysaccharides compounds, called PSK and PSP. Neither PSK or PSP are in any other mushroom, and their benefits are off the hook.
In fact protein-bound polysaccharides, also known as polysaccharopeptides, are very rare to find in other mushrooms, especially in these quantities.
All polysaccharides are incredible, but PSK and PSP are just unique in what they accomplish in the human body.
For example, Turkey Tail is one of the most researched medicinal mushrooms due to PSK and PSP, with decades of clinical studies, supporting its use in abnormal cell growth care and immune health. As you will see further below, studies show that even abnormal cell growth survival rates are higher due to these Protein-Bound Polysaccharides.
On top of that, Turkey Tail’s benefits also come from a broader ensemble of compounds that enhance Turkey Tail’s overall potency.
Turkey Tail’s got Beta-Glucans, Phenolic Compounds, such as Quercetin and Baicalein, Terpenoids, Sterols, and other proteins and peptides. All of these compounds work together to produce a broad-spectrum effect, which includes enhanced immunity, abnormal cell growth support, gut health, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties.
Now the key here is that it is Dual-Extracted. Both PSK and PSP are water-soluble, extracted from the mushroom via hot water processing. Normally when people make mushroom extracts, they either use alcohol as their extraction method, or they use hot water as their extraction method.
The problem with this is that Turkey Tail contain some constituents that are water soluble, such as Beta-Glucans, Proteins and Peptides (PSK and PSP), while different constituents are alcohol soluble, such as its Phenolic Compounds (e.g., Quercetin, Baicalein), terpenoids, and sterols. All of these bioactive compounds work together as major contributors to the mushroom’s overall effects.
The majority of other Turkey Tail Mushroom products will either only extract the water soluble compounds or only the alcohol compounds, not both.
This is why all of our Dual-Extracted Mushroom are absolutely the best of the best. We make sure that all of the most potent constituents are extracted from the mushrooms.

Furthermore our Dual-Extract Mushroom Variety Pack, now includes all 5 Mushrooms, which includes the Turkey Tail.
Before we get into the profound benefits of the hot water extracted PSK and PSP Superstars within Turkey Tail, let me share why all of its other compounds are so important too.
At the clinical study here, they identified over 35 phenolic compounds, which are alcohol extracted from Turkey Tail, noting their role in reducing inflammation by inhibiting pro-inflammatory enzymes like COX and LOX.
The Beta-Glucans in Turkey Tail stimulate the immune system by binding to receptors on immune cells (like macrophages and dendritic cells), enhancing pathogen defense, inflammation regulation, and reducing abnormal growth growth. Turkey Tail’s beta-glucans as shown in the study here, may improve insulin sensitivity and blood sugar levels, supporting metabolic health.
The terpenoids and sterols have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. They have been shown to inhibit microbial replication and support liver health. In fact, at the study here, there was an 88% clearance of oral HPV after two months of taking Turkey Tail extract and Ganoderma lucidum extract orally, showing that Turkey Tail may help combat certain unwanted microbes.
Now let’s get into Turkey Tails powerhouses PSK and PSP.
Also known as Krestin, PSK has decades of clinical trials including the ones here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, all showing improved survival rates in patients (Colorectal, Gastric, and abnormal cell growth). In Japan, it’s an approved adjuvant (supportive) treatment for abnormal cell growth since 1977. As seen in these studies, the way PSK works is that it stimulates the immune system by activating immune cells like macrophages, T-cells, and natural killer (NK) cells.
These studies also reveal that PSK inhibits abnormal growth growth and reduces metastasis, which prevents abnormal cell growth spread by blocking adhesion, invasion, and metastatic growth in models like sarcomas and abnormal cell growth. PSK also mimics SOD activity, reducing oxidative stress in patients. These studies above also share that PSK increases production of IL-2, IL-8, IFN-γ, and TNF-α, aiding immune response, and Promotes programmed cell death in abnormal growth cells (e.g., pancreatic abnormal cell growth) via pathways like p21WAF/Cip1.
Now, PSP works right alongside PSK helping to fight abnormal cell growth due to its immune boosting and cell-protective effects. Here is one of five studies showing PSP’s immune boosting properties enhancing macrophage and T-cell activity, this one particularly on abnormal cell growth patients. At the clinical study here, PSP inhibits abnormal growth cell proliferation (e.g., leukemia, colorectal) and enhances chemotherapy effects, improving survival in some cases. At the study here, PSP triggers cell death in abnormal cells. At the study here, PSP targeted abnormal cell growth stem cell-like populations in abnormal cell growth models. Other studies show that PSP also has tremendous antioxidant effects, anti-Infammatory effects, and gut health benefits like PSK.
In all of these studies above, they used the isolated compounds PSK and PSP from Turkey Tail. Here are a few studies where they just used a Turkey Tail Mushroom extract.
At the clinical study here, abnormal cell growth patients taking 6-9g of Turkey Tail powder daily after radiation showed faster immune recovery, with boosted NK cell activity and lymphocyte counts. At the study here, a review of 13 clinical trials with patients (breast, gastric, colorectal) showed that Turkey Tail, combined with standard treatments, prolonged survival and reduced side effects compared to chemotherapy alone. At the study here, a 2023 scoping review of 9 studies confirmed benefits like reduced chemotherapy toxicity, improved appetite, and maintained quality of life in gastric, breast, and colorectal patients.
Now imagine what Turkey Tail can do for a healthy persons without abnormal cell growth.
Turkey Tail will dial down chronic low-grade inflammation for a person without abnormal cell growth, which is linked to fatigue, joint aches, or just feeling off, because the T-cells and macrophages release Cytokines that regulate inflammation.
PSK in Turkey Tail mimics superoxide dismutase (SOD), mopping up free radicals. This could slow aging effects, less oxidative stress means healthier cells, skin, and organs over time. It can also protect cells from environmental wear-and-tear from pollution or poor diet.
PSK and PSP also revs up immune cells keeping your immunity sharp, which means a stronger defense against everyday immune challenges; think fewer colds or faster recovery. For example, it will boost your Natural Killer Cells (NK) a type of white blood cell in the immune system that attack unwanted microbes, bacteria, and abnormal cells (like abnormal cell growth) without needing prior activation. Turkey Tail will activate T-cells, and macrophages. Macrophages are a type of white blood cell in the immune system that engulf and digest pathogens (like basteria and unwanted microbes), dead cells, and debris through a process called phagocytosis.
Turkey Tail is also a prebiotic champ, boosting Lactobacillus and short-chain fatty acids while cutting harmful bacteria. This helps with digestion, improved energy, nutrient absorption, mood, mental clarity, and even immunity. It may also improve insulin sensitivity and blood sugar, which could mean steadier energy and less risk of metabolic creep as you age.
So our Dual-Extracted Turkey Tail would be like a daily tune-up. It can help with stress, colds, sluggish digestion, and just help us feel better long-term. It gives us a stronger immunity and less inflammation, which could lower the risks of chronic issues like heart problems and neurological issues down the road.
It’s critical to get all of the elements contained within the Turkey Tail Mushroom, and our Dual-Extracted Turkey Tail makes sure that every bioactive element is present, and extremely potent. When you take this bad boy, your brain will feel it. Due to the higher costs of these Dual Extract Mushrooms, it’s very rare to find a dual-extract mushroom on the market today, let alone in an incredible potent powder form like this.
Remember, you are not only getting the PSK, PSP, and beta-glucans which are water soluble, but also you are getting the Phenolic Compounds (e.g., Quercetin, Baicalein), terpenoids, and sterols that are alcohol soluble.
What’s crazy is that our Turkey Tail is standardized to contain 35% Beta-Glucan, and we only use 100% whole fruiting body. As usual we add absolutely no other ingredients. That’s it, just Turkey Tail.
Thanks everyone for your support!
Sincerely,
Matt
