Seed Cycling Kit (Phase I & Phase II)

Feeling like hormones is out of your control is a thing of the past....

Seed cycling involves enjoying flax + pumpkin + hemp during your follicular phase and enjoying sunflower + sesame + hemp during your luteal phase. Adding two scoops of your Seedling blend will help balance hormones and improve fertility.

But what is the follicular phase?

Starts on day 1 of your cycle until day 14, your ovulation time. During this time, your uterus lining is shed and the follicle-stimulating-hormone (FSH) stimulates your ovaries to initiate egg development. All this stimulation leads to rising estrogen levels, which we love! Healthy estrogen levels = boost in sexual desire.

But what is the luteal phase?

Luteal phase happens day 15 - day 28 (or until your next period) of your cycle. The high levels of zinc in sesame seeds and high levels of vitamin E in sunflower seeds promote progesterone production - the main character hormone at this time.

Why Seedling?

We get it, the world is stressful today (environmental toxins, food additives, digestive issues, food intolerance, high cortisol, we can't even keep track) and seed cycling can help balance your hormones and provide extra vitamins, healthy fats, fiber, antioxidants and protein to your diet.

Even better, you can trust Seedling and you can see exactly what you are putting into your body - no more being in the dark of what is in that murky capsule in a supplement bottle...toxins? fillers? binders? who knows...

Can anyone Seedling?

Menstruating Women: absolutely! Think of Seedling as the morning lemon water to your hormones.

Amenhorrhea (Absent Cycles): absolutely! Just follow the moon cycle, Phase I will be consumed new moon to full moon and Phase II will be consumed full moon to new moon. Seedling naturally supports estrogen and progesterone, which may help restore your cycle.

PCOS / Irregular / PMS Symptoms: absolutely! Some women experience low estrogen or estrogen dominance. These hormone imbalances can manifest as pre-menstrual syndrome (mood swings, headaches, cravings and bloating), irregular periods, heavy flow, insomnia, low libido, hair loss, endometriosis, fibroids, infertility and PCOS. Seed cycling can help reduce the accumulation of "unhealthy" forms of estrogen.

Menopause: absolutely! Seed cycling has been suggested to help lower the impact of hormone fluctuations, especially in peri-menopausal women, by reducing mood swings, hot flashes, and improving energy and sleep levels.

Boyfriends / Husbands / Guys: absolutely! Each phase is packed with omegas, zinc, vitamin E, antioxidants (especially polyphenol, which is 75x - 800x higher in flax seeds than other plant foods), anti-inflammatory properties, and the, cherry on top, easy extra grams of protein!

We can all benefit from the power of Seedling
