Semi & Seed cycling FAQs

The easiest time is Day 1 of your period: start with a Purple bar. Already mid-cycle? Just start with the colour that matches today.

• Purple Semi: Day 1 to 14 (flax + pumpkin)
• Pink Semi: Day 15 to 28 (sesame + sunflower)

That's very common. Eat Purple from Day 1 until around the middle of your cycle (when you ovulate), then Pink until your next period starts. Not sure when you ovulate? Simply switch at the halfway point.

The 2 bonus bars in every Monthly Pack give you a little extra room for longer cycles.

Follow the moon instead: Purple Semi from new moon to full moon, and Pink Semi from full moon to the next new moon. It gives you a steady 28-day rhythm to follow. Many women going through menopause use it the same way. Our seed cycling guide shows how.

Any time that suits you. What matters most is having it every day, so pick a moment you won't forget: with breakfast, with your evening chai, or mid-afternoon. It's fine on an empty stomach too; just have a glass of water with it.

Not at all. Just carry on with the right colour for that day of your cycle. Seed cycling is about consistency over weeks, so one missed day or a mix-up won't undo anything.

One bar a day gives you the seeds you need for that phase. Semi is food, so having an extra bar now and then is fine. Just treat it like any other food in your day.

14 Purple bars for Days 1–14, 14 Pink bars for Days 15–28, and 2 bonus bars: for a longer cycle, or to share with a friend.

Seed cycling is a slow, steady habit, so we suggest giving it at least three full cycles. Every body is different, and we can't promise specific results. Many women simply enjoy having one easy, healthy habit they can stick to.

Yes. Many women use seed cycling simply as a way to eat well in step with their cycle. If your periods are irregular or have stopped, follow the moon to switch colours (see “How to use”). Seeds are a good source of fibre, healthy fats and minerals at every stage of life.

Semi is food made from seeds, dates and spices, and many women eat it alongside their usual routine. It isn't a treatment for PCOS, thyroid issues or any other condition. If you have a health condition, or take regular medication or hormone therapy, please check with your doctor first.

Please check with your doctor before adding Semi to your routine. Seed cycling is not a fertility treatment, and Semi isn't meant to help you conceive.

Each bar comes in a 
certified compostable (ISO 17088) pouch. Your order ships in a corn-starch mailer that our supplier certifies as compostable, sealed with brown paper tape.

We've removed plastic wherever we can. The glue on the tape may not be compostable yet, and we're working on that last bit.

Put them in a municipal or community composting facility, not plastic recycling.

Yes. The pouches are sealed to keep each bar fresh until its use-by date. Like most compostable materials, they don't love heat and damp, so keep Semi in a cool, dry place.
