Black Cohosh Root: Black Cohosh Root supports healthy estrogen levels by improving brain-organ communication and modulating cell receptors. Black Cohosh Root is a phytoestrogen, which can help to lower elevated estrogen or raise low estrogen.

It is high in vitamin B-12, antioxidants, and the amino acid ergothioneine— all of which lowers the risk of depression.

The antioxidant properties of the mushroom may reduce the risk of disease, improve longevity and combat fatigue.
