Predominant in woodlands throughout the world, Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor) is one of the best-documented mushrooms in scientific research. With a wide spectrum of beneficial properties, Turkey Tail shows much promise in supporting the immune system with its protein-bound and unique polysaccharides.*

Host Defense Turkey Tail uses activated, freeze-dried, Certified Organic mushroom mycelium, with a full spectrum of constituents: polysaccharides (beta glucans, arabinoxylane, fucose, glucose, xylose, galactose and mannose), glycoproteins, ergosterols, triterpenoids and other myco-nutrients, which are essential for Supporting Natural Immunity* and the natural microbiome. 

• Turkey Tail is an excellent source of cellular nutrients*
• In a recent clinical study funded by the National Institutes of Health, Host Defense’s Turkey Tail was shown to be immunologically active*

SUPPORTING NATURAL IMMUNITY: Turkey Tail uses activated, freeze-dried, Certified Organic mushroom mycelium, with a full spectrum of constituents: polysaccharides (beta glucans, arabinoxylane, fucose, glucose, xylose, galactose and mannose), glycoproteins, ergosterols, triterpenoids and other myco-nutrients, which are essential for Supporting Natural Immunity and the natural microbiome.

• PREBIOTICS FOR THE MICROBIOME: What are the specific prebiotic compounds present in our products? Hundreds of novel enzymes are being secreted by the mycelium to break down plants. We eat plants, so do fungi. These extracellular digestive enzymes (cellulases, laccases, betaglucanases, mannanases, etc.) are in the extracts and capsules.
• PEAK PERFORMANCE: At their optimal rate of growth, the mushroom-forming mycelium are flash-frozen, capturing a full spectrum of constituents at peak performance.
• 100% CERTIFIED ORGANIC: Host Defense is a Certified Organic food producer and processor. Our organic certificates are always available upon request. We are the best-documented and longest certified organic mushroom company in the U.S
• SUSTAINABLY CULTIVATED: When sourcing mushrooms from the pristine Olympic rainforest, our team leaves the habitat and original mushroom intact and undisturbed. Only a small sample is required and taken for growing in the laboratories at the farm. Host Defense methods protect the native habitat.
