What are adaptogens?
Adaptogens are natural substances—often herbs and mushrooms—that help the body adapt to physical, emotional, and environmental stress. They’ve been used for centuries in traditional practices to promote balance, resilience, and overall well-being.
At Ylva Blends, we use adaptogens like Reishi, Lion’s Mane, and St. John’s Wort to gently support your body’s ability to handle stress, maintain energy, and stay centered—especially during times of hormonal transition like perimenopause and menopause.
Think of them as botanical allies that meet you where you are and help you feel more grounded, day by day.
How can your blend benefit hormonal changes?
Our blends are thoughtfully formulated to support women during hormonal transitions like perimenopause and menopause. While we don’t make medical claims, our ingredients are chosen for their traditional use in supporting overall balance, calm, focus, and vitality.
Functional mushrooms like Reishi and Lion’s Mane are known for promoting resilience and mental clarity, while botanicals such as Black Cohosh, Hops extract, and St. John’s Wort have long been used to support emotional well-being and natural hormonal rhythms.
Together, these ingredients work to nourish your body from within—helping you stay steady, focused, and supported as your hormones shift.

Are functional mushrooms the same as culinary mushrooms?
No. Functional mushrooms are adaptogenic and contain bioactive compounds like beta-glucans, triterpenes, and antioxidants, offering targeted wellness support rather than culinary flavor.
What are adaptogens, and how do they help?
Adaptogens are natural compounds that help the body adapt to stress, support energy balance, and improve resilience. They gently support the nervous system and hormonal equilibrium.
Do your mushroom extracts contain caffeine?
No. The mushrooms and botanicals are naturally caffeine-free. The only caffeine in our blends comes from the organic coffee itself.
What botanicals do you use and why?
We use botanicals such as St Johns Wort, Humulus Lupus and Black Cohosh to support energy, mood stability, hormone harmony, and overall vitality for women 30+.
Will the mushrooms make my coffee taste earthy?
No. Our blends are formulated to maintain a smooth, rich coffee taste with added cocoa powder and vanilla. The mushrooms are gently extracted to avoid bitterness or earthiness.
Do Black Cohosh, Hops, and St. John’s Wort affect estrogen levels?
These herbs don’t directly increase estrogen levels, but they may influence how the body responds to estrogen by interacting with hormone receptors or supporting neurotransmitters associated with mood and hormonal balance.
How does Black Cohosh support estrogen-related symptoms?
Black Cohosh contains compounds that may act on estrogen receptors, helping ease hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings often linked to estrogen fluctuations during perimenopause and menopause.
What role does Humulus lupulus (Hops) play in hormonal balance?
Hops contain plant-based phytoestrogens that can gently mimic mild estrogen-like activity in the body. This may help with symptoms such as hot flashes, irritability, and sleep disturbances.
Does St. John’s Wort influence estrogen?
St. John's Wort doesn't act like estrogen but can support mood, which is often influenced by shifting hormone levels. It may help reduce anxiety, irritability, and emotional ups and downs during hormonal transitions.
Are these herbs natural replacements for estrogen therapy?
No. They may support symptoms associated with low or fluctuating estrogen, but they are not replacements for prescribed hormone therapy.
Can these herbs help with estrogen dominance?
Some women find that phytoestrogens (like those in hops) help balance symptoms of estrogen dominance by gently modulating receptor activity, but individual responses vary.
How quickly do these herbs work on estrogen-related symptoms?
They typically work gradually. Many women notice improvements in 2–6 weeks as the body adapts.
Can these herbs be used together safely?
They are often combined in women’s wellness formulas, but St. John’s Wort can interact with medications, so it’s important to check with a healthcare provider if you’re on any prescriptions.
Do phytoestrogens increase estrogen in the body?
Not exactly. Phytoestrogens gently bind to estrogen receptors, providing mild, balancing effects without raising estrogen levels in the bloodstream.
Are these herbs suitable for women before menopause?
Yes. Many women in their 30s and 40s use them for PMS, stress, sleep, and early hormonal shifts, but they may support different symptoms depending on the individual's hormonal phase.
