Seed Cycling explained

1.   What is seed cycling, and how does it work?

 

Seed cycling is a natural method aimed at balancing hormones by consuming specific seeds during different phases of the menstrual cycle. In the follicular phase (days 1–14), flaxseeds and pumpkin seeds are consumed to support oestrogen levels. In the luteal phase (days 15–28), sunflower and sesame seeds are consumed to support progesterone levels. This practice seeks to harmonize hormonal fluctuations throughout the cycle.

​

2.   What makes your Seed Cycle products different from others on the market?
Our Seed Cycle products are crafted from 100% organic, non-GMO seeds, ensuring the highest quality and nutritional value. We offer pre-ground and freshly packaged seeds for optimal nutrient retention and convenience. Our blends are tailored to support each phase of your menstrual cycle, providing a seamless and effective seed cycling experience.

 

3.   Are your seeds organic?
Yes, all our seeds are certified organic, raw and ground in small batches for maximum freshness.

 

4.   What are the main benefits of using Seed Cycle products?
Regular use of our Seed Cycle products may help balance hormones, reduce PMS symptoms, support regular menstrual cycles, and promote overall reproductive health. Many users also report improved skin health, enhanced mood, and increased energy levels.

​

5.   What’s the difference between Phase 1 and Phase 2 blends?
Phase 1 blend (follicular phase) contains ground flaxseeds and pumpkin seeds to support oestrogen levels. Phase 2 blend (luteal phase) includes ground sunflower and sesame seeds to support progesterone levels. Each blend is formulated to align with the hormonal needs of the respective cycle phase.

 

6.   Can I use Seed Cycle if I don’t have a regular menstrual cycle?
Yes, if your cycle is irregular or absent, you can follow the lunar calendar: start Phase 1 on the new moon and switch to Phase 2 on the full moon. This method provides a structured approach to seed cycling in the absence of a regular cycle.

 

7.   Can men use these products, or are they exclusively for women?
While seed cycling is designed to support female hormonal cycles, the seeds used are nutritious and can be beneficial for anyone. However, the specific benefits related to hormone balance are tailored to the female menstrual cycle.

 

8.   Do your products contain any additives or preservatives?
No, our products are free from additives, preservatives, and artificial ingredients. We believe in providing pure, natural nutrition.
