About Seed Cycling

Does seed cycling work if I am on the Pill?

Seed cycling is often enjoyed by people on or coming off hormonal birth control as a way to support daily nutritional intake and general wellbeing. Our blends contain wholefoods naturally rich in fibre and essential nutrients, including prebiotic components that contribute to a healthy diet. Many customers appreciate including seed cycling as part of a broader wellness routine. If you're making changes to your health plan, it’s best to check in with your healthcare provider for personalised guidance.

Can I seed cycle if I am pregnant?

Many people enjoy incorporating nutrient-rich seeds like flax, pumpkin, sesame, and sunflower into their diet during pregnancy as a source of healthy fats, fibre, and essential vitamins and minerals. These wholefoods can be included in a variety of meals and snacks to support overall nourishment. Whether you choose to eat all four seeds daily or follow a moon phase-inspired rhythm, seed cycling can be a simple and gentle addition to your routine. As always, it’s important to consult your healthcare provider for personalised advice during pregnancy and postpartum.

How long before I see results?

Everyone’s experience is unique, but many of our customers enjoy including seed cycling in their routine for at least 3 months to give their body time to adjust and respond. Some people have shared that they notice changes such as improved digestion or clearer skin within the first month. These responses are individual and can vary, but staying consistent over several months is a common approach. Seed cycling can be a gentle, food-based way to support your daily wellness. For personalised advice, we recommend speaking with a healthcare professional.

Can seed cycling help with fertility?

Nutrition plays an important role in overall wellbeing, and many people choose to include seed cycling as part of a balanced lifestyle when planning for pregnancy. The seeds used in our blends are wholefoods naturally rich in fibre, healthy fats, and key nutrients that support general health. While individual experiences vary, some customers enjoy incorporating seed cycling into their routine during their preconception journey. For personalised fertility support, it's best to speak with a qualified healthcare professional.

Can I start anytime?

You can start seed cycling at any time – meaning you don’t have to wait until a specific day to begin with the seed blends.

For example - If you are on day 5 of your cycle, you would take Phase 1 blend for the next 9 days and then move onto Phase 2. Continue taking Phase 2, until switching back to Phase 1 on the first day of your next cycle (which is day 1 of your period).

If your period is irregular, absent or you are in menopause you can follow the lunar moon calendar & cycle starting with Phase 1 on a new moon and Phase 2 on a full moon.

What if I have irregular periods, PCOS or Endometriosis?

Seed cycling is a food-based practice that some people include as part of a broader approach to wellness. While seed cycling is not a treatment for any medical condition, some customers with conditions such as irregular cycles or PCOS have chosen to use it as part of a balanced lifestyle. The seeds in our blends are nutrient-rich wholefoods that can support overall nourishment and dietary variety. If you are managing a diagnosed health condition like PCOS or Endometriosis, we recommend speaking with your healthcare provider to ensure your choices align with your individual needs.

How does seed cycling with the moon phases work?

Historical studies over time have shown that the lunar calendar (moon phases) can be used to regulate a woman's’ cycle and that the moon’s influence on our bodies can include things such as promoting the release of neurohormones, sex hormones and melatonin.

For people without a regular menstrual cycle, PCOS, Endometriosis or if you are in menopause it’s recommended to use the phases of the moon as a guide to cycle dates. Some women may find after a couple month's of seed cycling their menstrual cycle becomes more regular, you can then switch to seed cycling with your own menstrual cycle.

Is seed cycling safe?

The seeds used in seed cycling—such as flax, pumpkin, sesame, and sunflower—are common wholefoods that are generally well-tolerated by most people when consumed as part of a balanced diet. As with any dietary change, we recommend consulting with your GP, dietitian, or healthcare provider, especially if you have specific health conditions like IBS or sensitivities to seeds.

While seed cycling is a food-based wellness practice that some people choose to include in their routine, it is not intended to treat or manage medical conditions. Our products are shelf-stable and made with certified organic ingredients. Please note that sesame seeds, while safe for general consumption, have been identified as a medium-risk ingredient for salmonella contamination and should always be stored and handled properly.

Will seed cycling work for me if I am going through menopause?

Many women choose to include seed cycling during menopause as part of their wellness routine. Our blends are made from nutrient-dense wholefoods traditionally enjoyed to support general wellbeing, especially during life transitions. While everyone’s experience is different, we hear from many customers who enjoy incorporating seed cycling into their daily rhythm and find it a simple, nourishing addition to their diet. For personalised support, it’s always best to consult a qualified health professional.

What if I miss a day and forget to take the seeds?

Daily consistency is important but if you do miss a day, don't stress. You can double up the next day.

How do I seed cycle if my cycle is not 28 days?

The Seed Cycle product phases and messaging are based on an average 28-day cycle, but we understand that everyone’s cycle is different. Whether your cycle is shorter, longer, or irregular, you can still follow the seed cycling practice effectively.

Each product pack includes an extra serving to accommodate longer cycles. If your cycle is regular but not 28 days, simply start Phase 1 on Day 1 of your period, and begin Phase 2 after ovulation—whenever that occurs for you.

If your cycle is irregular or you're unsure of your ovulation day, you can follow the moon phases as a guide.

Is there evidence to support seed cycling?

We understand the importance of feeling confident and informed when making choices about your wellbeing. Seed cycling is a nutrition-based practice that draws on traditional knowledge and growing interest in the role of diet in supporting overall health. While clinical research on seed cycling specifically is limited, the individual seeds used—such as flax, sesame, pumpkin, and sunflower—have been studied for their nutritional profiles and potential roles in a healthy diet. We’re committed to sharing resources to help you explore this information and decide what’s right for you. Learn more here.

Can I seed cycle post-partum and is it safe while breastfeeding?

Many people enjoy incorporating nutrient-rich seeds like flax, pumpkin, sesame, and sunflower into their diet during pregnancy as a source of healthy fats, fibre, and essential vitamins and minerals. These wholefoods can be included in a variety of meals and snacks to support overall nourishment. Whether you choose to eat all four seeds daily or follow a moon phase-inspired rhythm, seed cycling can be a simple and gentle addition to your routine. As always, it’s important to consult your healthcare provider for personalised advice during pregnancy and postpartum.

As always, if you have specific health concerns, it’s best to speak with a healthcare professional.

Do your seeds come whole or ground?

Our seeds come ground which we do in small batches to ensure stability and nutrient quality of the seeds. Oxygen absorbers are also used in our Phase 1 and 2 containers.  When seed cycling, it's important to consume ground seeds as opposed to whole seeds for a few reasons.

First, consuming ground seeds makes it easier for the body to absorb the nutrients contained in the seeds. Whole seeds have a hard outer shell that can be difficult for the body to break down, which can limit the amount of nutrients that are absorbed. Ground seeds, on the other hand, have a larger surface area, making it easier for the body to access the nutrients contained within them.

Second, ground seeds are often easier to digest than whole seeds, which can be beneficial for people with gastrointestinal issues.

Are your seeds certified organic?

Yes our seeds are Australian Certified Organic. (ACO13335) When practicing seed cycling, it’s strongly recommended to use certified organic seeds to ensure that you are consuming seeds that are free from harmful chemicals, pesticides, and other contaminants.

Do you have a referral program?

Yes, we are so grateful that so many of you have been sharing seed cycling with your family, friends and clients. We are excited to launch our program which means by signing up to The Seed Cycle Affiliate Program you can earn commission on product sales.

What if I have a seed allergy?

Seed cycling is not recommended for individuals who are allergic to all four key seeds used in our blends: flax, pumpkin, sunflower, and sesame. However, if you have an allergy to only one of these seeds, some people choose to adapt their routine. For example, if you are allergic to sesame but tolerate the others, you may choose to double the quantity of sunflower seeds during Phase 2 as an alternative.

If you have a known food allergy, it's essential to read ingredient labels carefully and consult a healthcare professional before making dietary changes. We're always here to help if you have questions about our products or ingredient alternatives.
