Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2

Trametes, particularly Trametes versicolor (commonly known as Turkey Tail), has been investigated for its potential to support or treat colitis, mainly in experimental models. Preclinical studies have shown that extracts from Trametes versicolor can exert anti-inflammatory effects in animal models of colitis. For instance, polysaccharide extracts such as polysaccharopeptide (PSP) and polysaccharide-K (PSK) have demonstrated the ability to reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines, modulate immune responses, and improve pathological features in chemically induced colitis in mice and rats. These effects are likely mediated through the downregulation of inflammatory mediators (e.g., TNF-α, IL-6) and the restoration of gut microbiota balance. However, while these findings are promising, there is a lack of robust clinical trials in humans specifically evaluating Trametes for the treatment or support of colitis. Most available scientific evidence is limited to in vitro and animal studies, with only a handful of small-scale human studies addressing related gut health endpoints. Therefore, while there is some scientific rationale for its use based on mechanistic and preclinical data, direct evidence of efficacy in human colitis is currently insufficient. More high-quality, controlled clinical studies are needed to confirm its therapeutic potential in this context.
