Mushroom of the Month: Turkey Tail

Nov 4th 2024

The Ancient Superfood Making Waves in Pet Health

Turkey tail mushroom, or Yun Zhi in traditional Chinese medicine, has long been prized for its remarkable vitality-boosting powers. Modern research is now catching up, confirming what healers have known for centuries: this mushroom can be a game-changer in your pet’s wellness routine.



Turkey tail contains powerful beta-glucans and terpenes that support immune health, balance inflammation, and even promote antioxidant activity. These compounds work together to enhance your pet’s resilience.

Immune System Powerhouse


Turkey Tail mushrooms are loaded with beta-glucans—compounds that stimulate immune responses, helping pets fend off infections. This makes it especially useful during seasonal shifts or as a recovery aid after illness.

Antioxidant Armor


Packed with antioxidants, Turkey Tail mushrooms help neutralize harmful free radicals, supporting cellular health. This added layer of protection is crucial for aging pets or those with health conditions.

Gut Health Guardian


Turkey Tail mushrooms act as prebiotics, nourishing the beneficial bacteria in your pet’s gut. A balanced gut can improve digestion and nutrient absorption, helping your pet feel their best from the inside out.

Natural Support for Cancer Care


Turkey Tail has shown promise as an adjunct therapy, especially for pets undergoing conventional cancer treatments. Some studies suggest it may strengthen the immune system's ability to target abnormal cells.

The Groundbreaking Study That Put Turkey Tail on the Map

Interest in Turkey Tail for pets surged after a pivotal 2012 University of Pennsylvania study. Researchers focused on dogs with hemangiosarcoma, a particularly aggressive cancer, giving them a Turkey Tail extract after spleen removal, without chemotherapy. Remarkably, the dogs receiving the highest doses of Turkey Tail lived significantly longer than those on conventional treatments, sparking a wave of interest from pet parents and veterinarians alike.
