Turkey tail: everyday resilience

Quality varies, which is why we prioritise clear species names, standardised extracts where relevant, and transparent testing. If a product claims to treat or cure disease, that is a red flag. Choose labelled extracts or whole-mushroom powders from reputable makers and keep to the suggested daily amounts.
