What’s Turkey Tail Mushroom Extract?
Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor) mushroom got the name from its distinctive appearance, which resembles the colorful, fanned-out tail of a wild turkey, typically displaying a range of browns, whites, blues, and grays in concentric rings. The colorful, fan-shaped mushroom grows on dead or dying hardwood trees in forests across North America, Europe, and Asia. In Traditional Chinese medicine, people have used turkey tail for centuries to support lung health and boost overall immunity. Modern supplements, capsules and teas often include Turkey Tail extract in immune support formulations and are increasingly used as a complementary therapy in integrative oncology
Our premium Turkey Tail mushroom extract harnesses the incredible immune-boosting properties of this medicinal mushroom. Derived from carefully cultivated and processed Trametes versicolor mushrooms, our extract contains high concentrations of beneficial polysaccharides like PSK (Polysaccharide K) and PSP (Polysaccharopeptide). It also contains abundant triterpenoids, phenolic compounds, and minerals.
Difference between turkey tail mushroom extract and powder
Both turkey tail mushroom extract and powder are available at Rainbow Biotech, but the former has more potency and bioavailability. The main difference between them is the concentration of active compounds. The extract contains a higher concentration of these compounds than the powder. That’s to say, the dosage of Turkey Tail mushroom powder is more consumed than that of extract when the same effects can be obtained. Another difference is in the way they are consumed. The extract product is available in supplement and capsule form, while the powder can be added to food, milkshakes, coffee, and other beverages.

Benefits of Turkey Tail Mushroom
- Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Effects
The turkeytail mushroom is rich in antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress and reduce cellular damage. These antioxidants can help protect against free radicals and potentially lower inflammation in the body, which is linked to numerous health conditions.
- Immune System Support
The mushroom is renowned for its powerful immunomodulating properties. It contains polysaccharopeptides (PSP) and polysaccharide K (PSK), which have been extensively studied for their ability to stimulate and enhance immune system function. These compounds can help activate and improve the performance of natural killer cells and other immune cells.
- Potential Cancer Support
Some studies suggest that PSK can help improve immune response during cancer treatments, potentially reducing side effects and supporting overall patient recovery. In Japan, PSK is an approved adjunct cancer treatment.
- Gut Health
Turkey tail contains prebiotics that support beneficial gut bacteria. A healthy microbiome is crucial for overall immune function, digestion, and potentially mental health.
