About This Product
CanPrev Turkey Tail Full Spectrum puts two forms of turkey tail mushroom (Trametes versicolor) into one vegetable capsule: 250 mg of fruiting body extract and 200 mg of cultured mycelia. Source of fungal polysaccharides with immunomodulating properties. A bottle holds 60 capsules at 1 a day, so it lasts two months.
What CanPrev Turkey Tail Full Spectrum is licensed for
It is licensed for sale by Health Canada and bears NPN 80124698.
What turkey tail is
Turkey tail is a mushroom that grows in thin, fan-shaped layers, with rings of brown, tan and cream that look like the spread tail feathers of a wild turkey. Its scientific name, Trametes versicolor, refers to those many colours. It is also sold under the name coriolus.
Polysaccharides are long chains of linked sugar molecules. Mushrooms contain their own distinct types, which is why they are called fungal polysaccharides.
What is in each capsule
The fruiting body is the visible mushroom, the part you would spot on a fallen log. CanPrev uses it as an 8:1 hot water extract, so the 250 mg per capsule equals 2,000 mg of dried fruiting body. The mycelium is the root-like web of filaments the mushroom grows from, and it adds 200 mg of cultured material per capsule. CanPrev calls this pairing full spectrum.
The turkey tail is organically sourced, as printed on the bottle. Acacia gum and magnesium stearate are the only other ingredients, inside a hypromellose capsule made from plant fibre. CanPrev lists it as vegan and GMO-free, with no gluten, dairy, soy, wheat, yeast, sugar, artificial colours, flavours, preservatives or animal products.
How it compares
Other turkey tail capsules at Vitasave include New Roots Coriolus Extract Turkey Tail at 500 mg in a 60-capsule bottle and OM Mushroom Superfood Turkey Tail in a 75-capsule bottle. CanPrev's capsule holds 450 mg of turkey tail in total, split between extract and mycelium. It sits in the same CanPrev mushroom range as Reishi Full Spectrum and Lion's Mane Full Spectrum.
How to take it
Adults 18 and over take 1 capsule a day. Ask a healthcare practitioner before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, and keep the bottle out of reach of children. The full directions and cautions are under How to Take.
