immune system. in the jar. *turkey tail 1:1 (fruiting body) *turkey tail 8:1 (fruiting body) * certified organic ingredient. >45% beta-d-glucan <5% starch 55 grams. 55 servings. serving size. 1/2 tsp (1,000mg) 1,000mg authentic turkey tail mushroom extract / serving. recommended 1-2x daily. turkey tail is packed with anti-oxidants, immunomodulating and anti-inflammation compounds like the flavonoid quercetin which promotes the release of immunoprotective proteins, while inhibiting the release of pro-inflammatory enzymes which helps bring the inflammatory response into balance. turkey tail also contains krestin (PSK) and polysaccharide peptide (PSP) which give turkey tail additional immune supporting and anti-inflammatiory properties. PSK promotes immunity to toxins, regulates the immune response and activates macrophages, which protect your body against harmful bacteria and consume dead cells. we do it right. all roots apothecary mushroom extracts are certified organic and lab tested to verify beta-glucan content and therapeutic compounds. our mushrooms are grown on native substrates and always extracted from the fruiting body. if you’re wanting the powerful benefits of performance mushrooms, choose organic extracts from the fruiting body to maximize both therapeutic compounds and bio-avilibity. extracts are better. mushrooms are often dried and ground into a powder. this is cheapest way to produce a supplement, but it provides the least health benefits. essential beta-glucans need to be extracted from the cell walls of a mushroom. these cells are made of an indigestible fiber called chitin. the human body can’t easily absorb chitin, and so the beta-glucans end up passing through rather than being absorbed. extracts break down chitin, making beta-glucans available for absorption. fruiting body has the good stuff. fruiting body refers to the actual mushroom cap and stem. myceliated grain is the root system of a mushroom grown on top of a grain substrate resulting in approx. 50% roots, 50% filler, and 0% of real mushroom. mycelium is cheaper and faster to produce than waiting for a full proper mushroom. beta-glucan
