Vloom's Functional Mushrooms & Nutrition
Every Phase of Your Cycles: Menstrual to Menopause (Lunar-Cycle)
Vloom emphasizes supporting women's hormonal rhythms with functional mushrooms and nutrition, whether cycling or in menopause, to balance hormones, boost energy, and support mood, immunity, and sleep. Women's bodies operate on a roughly 28-day cycle with four phases (menstrual, follicular, ovulatory, luteal), each with unique needs. Therefore, Vloom suggests aligning food, movement, and supplements with a woman's monthly rhythm, regardless of menstruation status, due to the body's continued cyclical nature.
Sample Daily Routine: Sync with your Menstrual Cycle
| Cycle Phase | Week | Days | Morning (2-3 tablets) | Evening (2-3 tablets) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Menstrual & Pre Period (Week 1 & 4) | 1 & 4 | 1-7 & 22-28 | Chaga (Vloom DEFENSE) Scientific Rationale: Replenishes minerals lost in menstruation, supports hormonal detoxification, improves gut health, energizing. |
Reishi (Vloom AURA) Scientific Rationale: Modulates cortisol, promotes relaxation and sleep, reduces PMS symptoms, improves skin. |
| Follicular & Ovulatory (Week 2 & 4) | 2 & 3 | 8-21 | Cordyceps (Vloom PERFORM) Scientific Rationale: Increases energy (ATP), stimulates ovarian hormones. |
Lion's Mane (Vloom FOCUS) Scientific Rationale: Increases nerve growth factor (cognition), modulates nervous system (sleep, anxiety, metabolism), supports neurotransmitters (mood). |

The Science Behind Each Mushroom
Chaga (Vloom DEFENSE): The Morning Energizer
Key Bioactive Components:
- Antioxidants: Ergothioneine and glutathione provide potent cellular protection
- Minerals: Potassium, magnesium, zinc, selenium, and iron for energy and immune support
- Fiber: Supports gut health and digestion
- Anti-inflammatory compounds: Reduce period-related inflammation and cramps
Why It Works: Chaga acts as a natural energizer (often used as a coffee substitute) while replenishing minerals lost during menstruation. Its high antioxidant content supports liver detoxification, crucial for hormone metabolism.
Reishi (Vloom AURA): The Evening Calmer
Key Bioactive Components:
- Triterpenes: Promote relaxation, reduce stress, and support sleep quality
- Beta-glucans: Strengthen immune defenses and modulate inflammation
- Polysaccharides: Enhance metabolic function and cellular repair
- Minerals: Potassium, magnesium, iron, zinc
- B vitamins: B2, B3, B5, B6 for energy metabolism and hormone synthesis
Why It Works: Reishi is clinically proven to reduce PMS symptoms, support hormone balance, and improve sleep quality. Its adaptogenic properties help the body manage stress and cortisol levels.
Cordyceps (Vloom PERFORM): The Energy Booster
Key Bioactive Components:
- Cordycepin and Adenosine: Boost energy and stamina by enhancing ATP production and oxygen utilization
- B vitamins: Support energy metabolism and cognitive function
- Vitamin D and E: Support bone health and antioxidant protection
- Minerals: Zinc, iron, selenium for hormone production and immune support
Why It Works: Cordyceps has been shown to stimulate ovarian estrogen production, making it ideal for the follicular and ovulatory phases. It enhances circulation and supports reproductive health.
Lion's Mane (Vloom FOCUS): The Brain Supporter
Key Bioactive Components:
- Hericenones and Erinacines: Support nerve growth factor (NGF) production for cognitive health
- B vitamins: B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 for neurotransmitter synthesis and brain function
- Vitamin D precursors: Support mood and hormone regulation
- Potassium: Supports nervous system function
- Antioxidant enzymes: Protect against oxidative stress and inflammation
Why It Works: Lion's Mane supports cognitive clarity, mood regulation, and stress resilience. Research shows it can reduce anxiety and support emotional balance during hormonal fluctuations.
