A dual extracted Turkey Tail tincture is a liquid herbal preparation made from the Turkey Tail mushroom (Trametes versicolor). The dual extraction process involves extracting the medicinal compounds from the mushroom using both alcohol and hot water.
Firstly, the Turkey Tail mushroom is simmered in hot water to extract the water-soluble polysaccharides, such as beta-glucans, which are known to have immune-boosting properties. Then, the mushroom is soaked in alcohol to extract the triterpenoids, which are responsible for the mushroom's anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
The two extracts are then combined to create a potent and well-rounded tincture. The tincture is typically taken orally by adding a few drops to water or another beverage. Dual extracted Turkey Tail tincture is often used to support immune system function, promote overall health and wellness, and as a natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant supplement.
