Mushrooms are my recent love! The list of their benefits if long! Let’s take Turkey tail. You might or might not hear about it, but I am almost sure that you’ve heard about adaptogens? Well, Turkey tail is one of them.

What do adaptogens do? In simple words they helps us adapt to different stressors that “attack” us on a daily basis – emotional, physical, environmental – and help restore balance. Adaptogens help strengthening the immune, nervous, and glandular systems, supporting the body’s defence against disease, and helping it normalize metabolic functions. Adaptogens are nontoxic, and nonspecific – meaning that they have a wide rage of applications.

So, going back to Turkey tail – its “applications” include immune support, healthy inflammatory response support, gut and liver health support, DNA damage protection support, weight management support and even support in fighting cancer. What a bunch of supportive little guys! But with all the benefits, it’s always best to consume within the recommended doses.
