Inside our Follicular Blend

During the first half of our cycle, we want to help our body replenish the nutrients lost during our period (such as iron, zinc, and B12). We also want to facilitate healthy estrogen metabolism, support our thyroid, and supply key nutrients and fatty acids that help our body build hormones in the first place.

High levels of zinc and magnesium in pumpkin seeds have been shown to alleviate PMS symptoms. Flax seeds are high in fiber and “lignans,” which helps metabolize and eliminate excess estrogen from our system to keep us in balance. And the iodine in kelp helps support our thyroid function.

Inside our Luteal Blend

During this second half of our cycle, we might feel PMS symptoms start to creep in as our hormone levels drop. We want to focus on keeping our blood sugar steady and eating foods that aid digestion and support our liver in processing these hormones.

Sunflower seeds are high in vitamin E, helping us boost progesterone levels, and selenium, which supports our liver. Sesame seeds have been shown to lower inflammation and are high in micronutrients like magnesium, vitamin B1 and B6. Rosemary helps support detoxification, while fennel and fenugreek aid digestion and keep things movin’ (when a rise in progesterone during this phase can slow things down).
