Sunflower Seeds

Roasted, unsalted sunflower seed kernels are rich in Vitamin E, an essential nutrient that increases sperm count and motility. Sunflower seeds also offer substantial amounts zinc, folic acid, and selenium— all of which are potent fertility nutrients with stellar benefits.Sunflower seeds are high in vitamin E . The findings of one study supported the idea that vitamin E supplementation might increase progesterone, the hormone that helps maintain early pregnancy, in women who were unable to conceive.

Sunflower seeds contain nutrients that may help with ovulation:

Vitamin E: A fat-soluble antioxidant that can improve implantation and pregnancy rates
Selenium: Helps with ovulation, progesterone production, and hormone detoxification
Iron: Helps with the release of the egg
Zinc: Helps with the release of the egg
Omega-6: Helps with the release of the egg

Sunflower seeds are recommended during the luteal phase of seed cycling. During this phase, progesterone is stronger.

Seed cycling involves eating:

Phase 2: One tablespoon of raw, ground sunflower seeds and one tablespoon of raw, ground sesame seeds per day from the day of ovulation until the day before the first day of your period
Days 15-28 of your cycle: One to two tablespoons of ground sunflower seeds
