Researchers discovered that turkey tail (Coriolus versicolor) extract can "reprogram" immune cells called macrophages to fight cancer instead of helping tumors grow. The extract also reduced the movement of harmful macrophages by up to 75%, cut down on damaging molecules (ROS), and boosted the immune system's ability to attack cancer.
