Krestin (PSK) and Polysaccharide Peptide (PSP) are two types of polysaccharopeptides found in turkey tails (1). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6044372/
Both PSK and PSP possess powerful immune-boosting properties. They promote immune response by both activating and inhibiting specific types of immune cells and by suppressing inflammation.
For instance, test-tube studies have demonstrated that PSP increases monocytes, which are types of white blood cells that fight infection and boost immunity (2). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23497877
PSK stimulates dendritic cells that promote immunity to toxins and regulate the immune response. In addition, PSK activates specialized white blood cells called macrophages, which protect your body against harmful substances like certain bacteria (3). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3206987/
Astragalus offers deep immune support, yet it’s gentle enough to take for long periods of time. Astragalus may help enhance your immune system to prevent and fight bacterial and viral infections, including the common cold.
