So... what is seed cycling?
Seed cycling involves consuming specific seeds during different times throughout the month to support hormone balance.
Follicular Phase (Days 1-14): Flaxseeds and pumpkin seeds support healthy estrogen modulation and the upcoming rise in progesterone.
Luteal Phase (Days 15-28): Sesame seeds and sunflower seeds contain fatty acids, antioxidants, and fiber that support the balance between estrogen and progesterone in the second half of your cycle.
By syncing your seed intake with your cycle, you provide your body with nutrients needed to create and modulate hormones, and ultimately help alleviate symptoms of imbalance. We made the process easy with our organic, ready-made blends!
