Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor) is the most researched medicinal mushroom in veterinary oncology – and the research is remarkable.
A University of Pennsylvania study on dogs with hemangiosarcoma found that those given a Turkey Tail compound had the longest survival times ever reported for that cancer. Dogs that lived beyond a year with nothing other than this mushroom as treatment. The researchers described themselves as shocked. That study is linked below and worth reading if your dog has a cancer diagnosis.
Beyond oncology, Turkey Tail is a solid everyday immune tonic and prebiotic for gut microbiome health. It supports the liver and spleen, has antimicrobial properties, and promotes healthy ageing.
Pure Turkey Tail vs Mushroom Elixir – which one?
✔ Choose Pure Turkey Tail if your dog has a cancer diagnosis or you want a high-dose single-strain focused specifically on immune and oncology support.
✔ Choose the Mushroom Elixir if you want a broader five-mushroom blend for general immune resilience, senior health or adaptogenic support.
✔ Both can be used together for dogs needing maximum immune support.
This is a liquid tincture – 500mg per mL from whole fruiting body. Note it contains a small amount of alcohol as a preservative. For dogs sensitive to alcohol, discuss with your vet before use.

✔ Gut microbiome support
✔ Chemotherapy or radiotherapy recovery
✔ Healthy ageing and immune maintenance

DESCRIPTION
Turkey Tail is rich in B-glucans, a type of polysaccharide within the fungal cell walls that works to support the immune system. Turkey Tail has been used as a traditional medicine for thousands of years for improving liver and spleen function, removing toxins, increasing energy and spirit and enhancing the immune response. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) considers Turkey Tail to have spleen-nourishing, heat-clearing and detoxifying properties.
Turkey Tail also has a long traditional use as a medicine in the treatment of cancer and illnesses related to immune deficiency, and to reduce side effects of conventional cancer treatments.

What do Vets say about Pure Turkey Tail?
A University of Pennsylvania Vet study found that dogs with cancer (hemangiosarcoma) that were treated with a compound made from Turkey Tail had the longest survival times ever reported. "We were shocked, [...] Prior to this, the longest reported median survival time of dogs with hemangiosarcoma of the spleen that underwent no further treatment was 86 days. We had dogs that lived beyond a year with nothing other than this mushroom as a treatment." Findings here
