What is
seed cycling?

A gentle, food-first practice that works with your body's natural rhythm — one scoop a day.

The practice

An ancient practice,
made simple

Seed cycling is a traditional food-based wellness practice that involves rotating four organic seeds — flaxseed, pumpkin, sunflower, and sesame — across the two phases of your menstrual cycle. Each seed provides different nutrients that contribute to general hormonal health and overall wellbeing.

The practice has been used by nutritionists and naturopaths for generations as part of a holistic approach to women's health. The Seed Cycle has taken the guesswork out of it entirely — our done-for-you blends are pre-measured, ground, and ready to sprinkle into whatever you're already eating.

No DIY blending. No measuring. Just the right seeds, at the right time, every day.

The four seeds used in seed cycling
How it works

Two phases.
One daily scoop.

Your cycle has two distinct phases — and seed cycling aligns your nutrition with each one. Just swap your blend at ovulation (or the Full Moon if you're moon cycling).

1
🌱 Phase 1 — Follicular

Flaxseed & Pumpkin

Day 1 → Ovulation · New Moon → Full Moon
Flaxseed Pumpkin Seeds

Rich in lignans, omega-3 fatty acids, and zinc — nutrients that contribute to general hormonal balance and support the first half of your cycle.

2
🌸 Phase 2 — Luteal

Sunflower & Sesame

Ovulation → Next period · Full Moon → New Moon
Sunflower Seeds Sesame Seeds

High in vitamin E, selenium, and zinc — nutrients that support antioxidant activity and general wellbeing in the second half of your cycle.

Seed cycling is a food-based wellness practice. Our products are wholefoods and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. Every cycle is different — phases shift with your body, not a fixed number of days.

The ingredients

Four seeds.
Four nutritional roles.

Each seed is selected for its specific nutrient profile — together they provide a broad spectrum of vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats that contribute to general women's health.

Phase 1

Flaxseed

Omega-3s · Lignans · Fibre

A rich source of plant-based omega-3 fatty acids and phytoestrogen lignans, which contribute to general hormonal balance and healthy inflammatory responses.

Phase 1

Pumpkin Seeds

Zinc · Magnesium · Iron

Rich in zinc and magnesium — two minerals that play a role in general reproductive health, mood, sleep, and overall wellbeing throughout the cycle.

Phase 2

Sunflower Seeds

Vitamin E · Selenium · B6

A source of vitamin E and selenium, which support antioxidant activity and cellular health — particularly relevant in the luteal phase of the cycle.

Phase 2

Sesame Seeds

Zinc · Calcium · Lignans

Provides calcium for bone health, additional zinc for hormonal support, and lignans that contribute to general nourishment in the second half of the cycle.

Adding seeds to your daily routine

Just sprinkle.
That's it.

Add 2 tablespoons to your morning smoothie, yoghurt, porridge, or salad. No prep, no blending — just a simple daily ritual that fits into your life.
