About

Trametes versicolor, também conhecido como Cauda de Peru, é uma espécie de cogumelo notável com valor culinário e medicinal significativo. No âmbito culinário, Trametes versicolor é altamente estimado por sua aparência única, que se assemelha aos padrões coloridos da cauda de um peru. É frequentemente utilizado em cozinhas tradicionais, particularmente em países asiáticos, para adicionar sabor e textura a diversos pratos, incluindo sopas, ensopados e chás. Seu sabor suave e terroso realça a experiência culinária como um todo. Além de suas aplicações culinárias, Trametes versicolor possui um potencial medicinal significativo. Tem sido amplamente estudado por suas propriedades imunomoduladoras e anti-inflamatórias. O cogumelo contém compostos bioativos, como polissacarídeos e triterpenoides, que acredita-se apoiar a função do sistema imunológico e promover o bem-estar geral. Pesquisas sugerem que Trametes versicolor pode ter benefícios potenciais no apoio à saúde imunológica, combate ao estresse oxidativo e até mesmo complementar certos tratamentos contra o câncer.

Physical Characteristics

Caps:

Plano, circular, multicolorido

Gills:

Sem brânquias, tem poros

Choosing the Right Products

Corpo Frutífero + Micélio:

Procure produtos que contenham tanto o corpo de frutificação quanto o micélio.

Evite Micélio Cultivado em Arroz:

Esses produtos frequentemente contêm quantidades significativas de amido e menos beta-glucanas.

Os produtos de tintura podem ser ligeiramente inferiores.:

Especificamente para efeitos imunológicos, anticancerígenos e antivirais devido ao conteúdo ativo de beta-glucano não ser solúvel em álcool. Se a tintura for o suplemento preferido, certifique-se de que seja duplamente extraída com água quente e álcool.

Cognitive Effects

Energia

O cogumelo rabo-de-peru parece aumentar os níveis de energia através de suas propriedades adaptogênicas. Eles ajudam o corpo a se adaptar ao estresse e a manter o equilíbrio. O estresse crônico pode esgotar as reservas de energia, mas adaptógenos como o rabo-de-peru podem ajudar a mitigar os efeitos negativos do estresse, levando a uma melhoria nos níveis de energia.

Helps With

Reforço do Sistema Imunológico

Melhora a função imunológica e combate infecções. O alto teor de Beta Glucano leva a interações com os sensores imunológicos do nosso corpo, como os receptores toll-like, no intestino delgado. Isso resulta em uma resposta imunológica complexa que leva à supressão de células cancerígenas e tumorais, além de maior vigilância e produção de anticorpos.

Câncer

Tem potencial para propriedades anticancerígenas.

Turkey Tail Mushroom: A Game Changer for Immunity and Energy

As someone who has been exploring the world of natural remedies, I was excited to try Trametes Versicolor, commonly known as Turkey Tail mushroom. After incorporating it into my daily regimen in powder form, I noticed significant improvements in my overall health. One of the most remarkable changes I experienced was the enhancement of my immune system. Turkey Tail is packed with polysaccharopeptides, which gave my body the support it needed to fend off seasonal colds. In addition to that, my digestion improved, likely due to the prebiotic benefits of this mushroom. Despite its earthy taste, mixing it into my smoothies became a delightful routine. I didn’t experience any side effects, which was a pleasant surprise. Instead, I felt a consistent boost in energy and focus, especially during work hours. It’s important to note, however, that the experience may vary for others. I appreciate the health benefits of Turkey Tail and can confidently recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their immunity and general wellness. Overall, my journey with Trametes Versicolor has been incredibly positive, and I’m eager to share it with friends and family.

  • Natural bioactive compounds have aroused great interest for their potential benefits in human health, particularly in the prevention and treatment of cancer. The aim of this systematic review is to inspect whether bioactive compounds present in mushrooms of the genus Trametes have shown anticancer activity in human osteosarcoma. According to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) parameters, this review was carried out using Science Direct, PubMed Central, and Embase as electronic databases to select the articles that evaluated the cytotoxic effects of extracts or compounds isolated from mushrooms of the genus Trametes in human osteosarcoma.

  • The mycelium of the Trametes versicolor (Turkey tail) mushroom and its fermented substrate each show potent and complementary immune activating properties in vitro

  • The medicinal mushroom Trametes versicolor (Tv, Turkey Tail) is often prepared for consumption as a powder from the fungal mycelium and the fermented substrate on which it grew. The goal for this study was to evaluate the immune-modulating properties of the mycelium versus the fermented substrate, to document whether an important part of the immune-activating effects resides in the metabolically fermented substrate.

  • In Japan the standard adjuvant treatment after resection of gastric cancer is intravenous mitomycin plus oral fluorouracil. We have assessed the efficacy of protein-bound polysaccharide (PSK) in addition to standard chemotherapy in patients who had undergone curative gastrectomy at 46 institutions in central Japan. 262 patients were randomly assigned standard treatment alone or with PSK. The minimum follow-up time was 5 years (range 5-7 years). PSK improved both the 5-year disease-free rate (70 7 vs 59 4% in standard treatment group, p=0 047) and 5-year survival (73·0 vs 60·0%, p=0·044).

  • The TLR2 agonist in polysaccharide-K is a structurally distinct lipid which acts synergistically with the protein-bound β-glucan

  • Protein-bound polysaccharide-K (Krestin; PSK) is a hot-water extract of Trametes versicolor with immune stimulatory activity. It has been used for the past 30 years and has demonstrated anti-tumor efficacy in multiple types of cancer. The ability of PSK to activate dendritic cells and T cells is dependent on its ability to stimulate Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), yet it remains unknown which structural component within PSK activates TLR2. The purpose of this study was to identify the TLR2 agonist within PSK and understand its role in the overall mechanism of PSK’s immunogenic activity. TLR2 activity was eliminated by treatment with lipoprotein lipase but not by trypsin or lyticase.

  • Trametes versicolor Extract Modifies Human Fecal Microbiota Composition In vitro

  • Trametes versicolor is a mushroom used as a traditional Chinese medicine (Yun-zhi) for a wide array of seemingly disparate conditions. We hypothesized that many of its multiple purported activities could be mediated through stimulation of beneficial mutualist components of the microbiota. Human fecal microbiota was cultured anaerobically to determine its ability to ferment a common extract of T. versicolor, designated polysaccharide peptide (PSP), and the ability of PSP to alter the composition of the microbial community.
