What Is Seed Cycling?

It is a wellness practice that aligns the consumption of specific seeds with menstrual cycle phases to support hormonal balance, especially estrogen and progesterone. 

• Flax + Pumpkin seeds during the follicular phase (days 1–14) 
  • Flax seeds contain lignans that help regulate estrogen levels. 
  • Pumpkin seeds contain zinc, which supports the production of progesterone.
• Sunflower + Sesame seeds during the luteal phase (days 15–28). In the luteal phase 
  • Sunflower seeds offer vitamin E 
  • Sesame seeds provide lignans and calcium to support progesterone and balance estrogen levels.
