Why the seeds come in two halves
Builds the lining of your womb and ripens the egg. Rising estrogen is behind the lift in energy and skin many women feel before ovulation.
What the research showsFlax is the richest food source of lignans, the plant compounds most studied in how the body handles oestrogen. In a 1993 study, women eating ground flax daily ovulated in every cycle, against three cycles with no egg released in the group not taking it. Phipps et al., J Clin Endocrinol Metab, 1993 ↗
Takes over after the egg is released and settles the body down. Its fall at the end of the cycle brings your period, and much of PMS with it.
What the research showsSesame carries its own lignans. In a placebo-controlled crossover, daily sesame powder raised SHBG by 15% and lowered DHEA-S by 18%, both markers of how freely hormones circulate. Worth knowing: the dose was five times what seed cycling uses, and the women were postmenopausal. Wu et al., J Nutrition, 2006 ↗
Is it safe?
Yes. It is whole food, and no serious side effects have been reported in any trial. Two small things:
- A little bloating in week one. It is the extra fibre. Drink more water.
- Flax is well within safe limits. A spoon is 10g, a third of the EU safe level.
- 10 studies, 635 women2025 systematic review, Cureus
- FSH 6.55 → 3.5112 week trial, Faisalabad
- Longer luteal phase12.6 vs 11.4 days
- Every cycle ovulatedAnovulatory (a cycle with no egg released) · 0 on flax vs 3 without
Seed Pop is food, not medicine.

How do I start
seed cycling today?
Others hand you a chart. We just tell you what to eat today, and put the right jars in your basket.
Not sure of the exact date? A few days either way is fine. Seed cycling is forgiving, and starting is what counts. No date needed. We follow the moon for you.
That is more than 34 days ago, so your cycle is not running to a regular length.
- Ground fresh or kept whole, your choice
Pick a date above and we will take it from there.

Have the seeds
as granola instead
You do not need a cycle to want these seeds in your diet. Granola Pop is built on three of the same four, flax, pumpkin and sunflower, baked into breakfast with oats and nuts. None of the schedule.
Shop Granola PopGood questions
Before you
start
Do ground seeds go off?
Slowly. Keep the jar sealed and cool, and finish it within a few weeks. At a spoon a day it runs out well before then. Prefer to grind at home? Choose whole at checkout, same price.
Why grind them at all?
Whole flax passes straight through you, so we grind it. Pumpkin and sunflower are fine whole. Sesame works either way.
Does seed cycling actually work?
The seeds are genuinely nutritious and the early research is promising. It is food, not medicine, so we keep our promises honest.
Which seeds do I eat when?
Days 1 to 14: 1 tbsp flax + 1 tbsp pumpkin. Days 15 to 28: 1 tbsp sesame + 1 tbsp sunflower. Longer or shorter cycle? Switch at ovulation.
Should I buy the kit or single jars?
The kit: all four seeds for a full cycle, cheaper than four jars. Single jars are for topping up.
How should I eat them?
A spoon of each a day in yogurt, oats, a smoothie or Granola Pop. Avoid baking them.
What if my periods are irregular?
Follow the moon: Phase 1 from the new moon, Phase 2 from the full moon. Pregnant or managing a hormone condition? Check with your doctor first.

Seed cycling kit price in Pakistan: how the kits compare
Most seed cycling kits in Pakistan cost around Rs 2,750 to Rs 3,500. They differ in how much seed you get, whether the seeds come in separate jars or mixed blends, and what else is in the box. Here is how ours sits next to the kits that show up most when you search.
| Kit | What you get | Price | Per 100 g |
|---|---|---|---|
| Date Pop Seed Pop Full Cycle Kit | 4 jars of 250 g (1,000 g): flax, pumpkin, sesame, sunflower, one seed per jar, labelled by phase, sent whole | Rs.3,000 | Rs.300 |
| NutriDiva Seed Cycling Kit | 2 jars of 360 g (720 g), each a mix of that phase's two seeds, plus spearmint tea | Rs 2,890 | about Rs 400 |
| Women Bloom Seed Cycling Kit | 2 phase blends of 210 g (420 g) | Rs 2,750 | about Rs 655 |
Prices checked on each brand's own website on 13 October 2026. Our price is live from our shop. Other brands may have changed theirs since.
What to check before you buy any kit
- Grams, not just price. A kit with 420 g and a kit with 1,000 g are not the same purchase. Divide the price by the weight.
- Separate jars or mixed blends. With one seed per jar you can see exactly what you are eating and top up one seed at a time with a single jar or a Phase 1 (Rs.1,810) or Phase 2 (Rs.1,290) bundle.
- Whole or ground. Whole seeds keep for months; ground seeds are best used within a few weeks. Ours come whole, so grind flax and sesame at home just before you eat them.
- Extras. Teas and guides are nice, but check you are not paying mostly for the extras.
- How long it lasts. At a level tablespoon of each of that phase's two seeds a day, our 1,000 g kit lasts about seven weeks.
