Four Leaf Rover Turkey Tail Extract for dogs - organic* mushrooms grown the way nature intended!

The Turkey Tail Mushroom (Trametes veriscolor) is renowned for its high beta-glucan content, which makes it one of the most important mushrooms to support normal immune function.

Turkey Tail has been trusted in Chinese medicine to help with a variety health issues for centuries. Its ability to support proper immune function is thanks to a special polysaccharide called beta-glucan.

Four Leaf Rovers' Turkey Tail mushroom is 3rd party tested to contain a minimum of 50% beta-glucan, which makes it one of the best choices for dogs needing natural immune support.

Their mushrooms are grown in greenhouses on natural wood and substrates in filtered air. The whole mushroom is then double extracted and gently powdered, then tested for safety and a high beta-glucan content. 

It's important to note that most of the beta-glucan is found in the fruiting body of the mushroom. But it's expensive and time consuming to grow mushrooms this way. But we don't do things the cheap and inexpensive way. 

In comparison, many "mushroom" products are mycelium, which is just the "roots" of the mushroom. To produce this product, mycelium is put in plastic bags filled with sorghum, oats or rice, then put in a locker to grow. The mycelium is then ground up with the grains to make a high-starch product. Natural mushrooms are low in starch, averaging about 4% carbohydrate. 

The FDA in the USA doesn't allow mycelium products to say MUSHROOM on the package, but the market is saturated with these cheap mushroom alternatives. 

So how can you tell the difference between real mushrooms and the other guy (mycelium)?

Simply look or ask for the beta-glucan content. If the product doesn't provide the beta-glucan content (or if it's low), you can be fairly certain the product is mycelium and not mushrooms. And don't fall for a high polysaccharide content ... anything with a lot of starch will be high in polysaccharides. 

You can feel good about giving your dog their Turkey Tail. It's 3rd party tested for a high beta-glucan content and for safety, so your dog gets the unique mushroom benefits he needs.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is 1/16th level teaspoon? 1/16 tsp is basically the equivalent of a two-finger pinch of the product.

Why are most mushroom products not really mushrooms? Mushrooms contain what's called the "fruiting body" (the part of the mushroom most people would recognize) and "mycelium", the part that grows underground or inside the plant. Mycelium is like the the roots of the mushroom. Nearly all mushroom products are mycelium and not the actual mushroom. They're grown in a lab on sterilized grains (such as rice, sorghum or oats) and ground into a powder. Mycelium products are not rich in beta-glucans like real mushrooms are. Beta-gulcans are the active compounds in mushrooms. Fruiting bodies are full spectrum and also offer more vitamins and minerals. If you're not getting a real mushroom product then your dog is not getting all of the health benefits.

How are Four Leaf Rover Mushrooms grown?: All of our mushrooms are grown on wood, the way nature intended. This ensures that the important medicinal compounds are in the mushrooms. Grown in greenhouses, our mushrooms receive a constant flow of fresh air and water, along with natural sunlight. Every mushroom is tested for chemicals or contamination.

Why are your mushrooms water extracted and not dried: Fruiting bodies require hot water extraction to break down the chitin in the cell walls. Dogs and humans lack the enzyme to do this, so extraction is necessary to get all the nutrients from the fruiting body. Extraction pulls out the beta-glucans. The extraction is then purified and dried into a powder with all the beneficial mushroom parts intact.

Can I give Turkey Tail with the Seven Shrooms blend?: 

For dogs needing extra support, they recommend combining Turkey Tail with Seven 'Shrooms because Turkey Tail is very rich in beta-glucans.

How you you ensure the mushrooms are high quality: Every batch of mushrooms is checked for bacteria, heavy metals and pesticides. The mushroom extracts are then tested for beta-glucan content to make sure the mushrooms are truly medicinal. Four Leaf Rover mushrooms are certified organic, and free from heavy metals and pesticides. No mycelium, no grains and no starch ever.

Suitable for Dogs over 6 months.

CATS (over 6 months) - Four Leaf Rover have stated that Turkey Tail can all be given to cats at half the recommended amount for a small dog, i.e. 1/32th tsp once daily.
