How does it work?

Turkey Tail contains two unique polysaccharide compounds PSK and PSP, that activate key immune cells like T-cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and macrophages. This helps enhance immune surveillance, fight off infections, and support cellular recovery.

It also acts as a prebiotic, nourishing beneficial gut bacteria and supporting gut-immune connection, which is critical for long-term health and inflammation control.
