Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? We've got answers! Find everything you need to know about seed cycling and our products.
Seed cycling is a natural practice that involves eating specific seeds during the two main phases of your menstrual cycle to help balance hormones. During Phase 1 (follicular phase, days 1-14), you consume pumpkin and flax seeds to support estrogen. During Phase 2 (luteal phase, days 15-28), you switch to sunflower and sesame seeds to support progesterone production.
Phase 1 (follicular phase) starts on the first day of your period and lasts until ovulation, typically around day 14. Phase 2 (luteal phase) begins after ovulation and continues until your next period starts. If you're unsure or have irregular cycles, you can follow the moon cycle as a guide - Phase 1 with the new moon, Phase 2 with the full moon.
Yes! While hormonal birth control regulates your cycle artificially, seed cycling can still provide nutritional benefits. The seeds are rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals that support overall health. You can follow the moon cycle or a simple 14-day rotation.
Most people notice improvements within 1-3 menstrual cycles (1-3 months) of consistent seed cycling. Results vary based on individual factors, but common benefits include more regular periods, reduced PMS symptoms, better energy levels, and improved skin health.
Our Soak Mixes are designed for overnight preparation - simply add liquid and refrigerate overnight for a creamy, pudding-like breakfast. Our Granolas are ready to eat immediately and offer a satisfying crunch. Both contain the same hormone-supporting seed combinations for their respective phases.
Our Soak Mixes are vegan-friendly! Our Granolas contain honey as a natural sweetener. We're working on a vegan granola option - stay tuned!
Our products contain oats, which are naturally gluten-free but may be processed in facilities that handle gluten. If you have celiac disease or severe gluten sensitivity, please consult with your healthcare provider before consuming.
Store your BOOSTIT products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, we recommend keeping them in an airtight container and consuming within 8 weeks for optimal freshness. The seeds' natural oils are best preserved at room temperature.
We don't recommend freezing prepared overnight oats as the texture may change. However, you can meal prep several days' worth in the refrigerator - they'll stay fresh for up to 4 days!
We currently deliver throughout South Africa! Delivery times vary by location - major cities typically receive orders within 2-3 business days, while rural areas may take 5-7 business days. We're working on expanding internationally - join our newsletter for updates!
