## Verdict
Ylva Blends mushroom coffee is the first mushroom coffee built around women's hormonal health: lion's mane, reishi, chaga, maitake and shiitake with black cohosh, hops and St John's wort in an Amazon-only instant. No ingredient has a stated amount, the caffeine figure is undisclosed (our 40 mg and $29.99 are unverified estimates), and St John's wort interacts with many medications.
Overall score: 2.3/5 (taste 3, ingredients 3, transparency 1.5, value 3.5, lab testing 1.5, dosage 1.5)

## Pros
- The only mushroom coffee with a women's-health formula — black cohosh, hops and L-theanine alongside five mushrooms
- Organic instant arabica base, sweetened with monk fruit rather than sugar, in a 36-serving pack
- Low caffeine by design, which suits the audience it is aimed at

## Cons
- No milligram amounts for any mushroom or botanical; part used and beta-glucan undisclosed
- Contains St John's wort, which interacts with antidepressants, hormonal contraceptives and many other drugs — a real reason to check with a pharmacist first
- We could not load the Amazon listing's price or caffeine figure; $29.99 and 40 mg are our best estimates, not verified

## Skip it if
- You take any prescription medication — St John's wort is a well-documented interaction risk
- You want a disclosed mushroom dose

## FAQ
Q: What is in Ylva Blends mushroom coffee?
A: Organic instant arabica, lion's mane, reishi, chaga, maitake and shiitake mushrooms, L-theanine, black cohosh extract, hops (Humulus lupulus), St John's wort extract, rhodiola rosea extract and monk fruit for sweetness. Amazon's listing gives no amount for any of these, so the mushroom dose and the botanical doses are both unknown.

Q: How much caffeine is in Ylva Blends coffee?
A: The listing says only low caffeine and does not give a figure. Comparable low-caffeine instant blends run 30–50 mg per serving, so we list 40 mg as an estimate. If you are cutting caffeine for sleep or hot-flush reasons, ask the seller for the actual number before relying on it.

Q: Is Ylva Blends safe to drink with medication?
A: Ask a pharmacist. The blend contains St John's wort, which is known to reduce the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives, some antidepressants, blood thinners and other drugs, and black cohosh carries its own cautions. Neither is a reason to avoid it outright, but they are reasons not to treat it as just coffee.

Q: How much does Ylva Blends cost per serving?
A: The pack is 36 servings. Amazon would not serve us the price when we checked, so we have used $29.99 as a working figure, about $0.83 per cup; the true price may differ. At that level it is cheaper per cup than RYZE, and the listing is the only place the product is sold.
