Follicular Blend

The Follicular Blend is HerBloom's carefully crafted seed mix for the first half of your menstrual cycle — days 1 to 14, known as the Follicular Phase.

During this phase, your body is working to produce and regulate estrogen as follicles in your ovaries develop and prepare for ovulation. It is also the phase where many women feel their most energised, clear-headed, and motivated — and the right nutritional support can help amplify that feeling.

Our Follicular Blend combines two of the most researched seeds in hormonal health: organic flax seeds and pumpkin seeds. Together, they provide lignans, zinc, omega-3 fatty acids, and magnesium — all shown to support healthy estrogen metabolism and a smoother first phase of your cycle.

What Is Inside

Flax Seeds

Flax seeds are one of the richest plant sources of lignans — phytoestrogens that bind to estrogen receptors and help the body metabolise estrogen more efficiently. For women with estrogen dominance or PCOS, this can be particularly helpful in restoring balance during the Follicular Phase.

Pumpkin Seeds

Pumpkin seeds are one of the most zinc-dense plant foods available. Zinc plays a critical role in follicle development, progesterone synthesis (which you will need in the second phase), and overall ovarian health. Many women with PCOS are zinc deficient — making pumpkin seeds an especially valuable addition to the Follicular Phase.
