Why this happens
Both maitake (Grifola frondosa) and turkey tail (Trametes versicolor) contain complex sugars called beta-glucans. These compounds work in a similar way by activating certain immune cells (like natural killer cells and macrophages). Taking them together may increase this immune-stimulating effect.
