Effect
1.Immune-boosting Function:
Turkey Tail Extract is famed for its immunomodulatory effects. It has polysaccharide-peptide complexes (PSP and PSK) that enhance immune system activity. They stimulate the production and function of immune cells like T-lymphocytes, B-lymphocytes, and natural killer (NK) cells. T-lymphocytes are key in cell-mediated immunity; B-lymphocytes produce antibodies; NK cells kill virus-infected and tumor cells. It also regulates immune balance, suppressing overactive responses and strengthening weak ones.
2. Antioxidant Properties:
It contains antioxidants such as phenols and flavonoids that scavenge free radicals. Free radicals, from metabolism and environmental factors, cause oxidative stress linked to chronic diseases. The antioxidants donate electrons to stabilize free radicals and protect cell membranes from lipid peroxidation.
3. Anti-cancer Potential:
Studies suggest it may have anti-cancer properties. Its polysaccharides boost the immune response against cancer cells by enhancing immune cell activity. It may also directly inhibit cancer cell growth, interfering with the cell cycle and inducing apoptosis in cancer cells.
4. Gastrointestinal Health Support:
Turkey Tail Extract promotes a healthy gut microbiota. It acts as a prebiotic, nourishing beneficial bacteria like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, which produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). SCFAs improve gut barrier integrity and prevent harmful substances from entering the bloodstream. It also reduces gut inflammation, helping with symptoms of inflammatory bowel diseases like abdominal pain and diarrhea.
