Benefits:
Hormonal Balance for Men & Women:
-
Rich in Vitamin E: Sunflower seeds are one of the best sources of vitamin E, a key antioxidant that supports hormone regulation by reducing oxidative stress. This helps maintain balanced hormone levels for both men and women.
-
Magnesium & Zinc:
- Magnesium helps reduce stress by regulating cortisol levels, which can disrupt hormone balance.
- Zinc supports reproductive health by promoting the production of key hormones like testosterone in men and aiding ovulation and menstrual cycle regulation in women.
3. Healthy Fats (Omega-6):
-
- The seeds contain healthy fats, essential for hormone production, including estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. These fats maintain cellular function and support fertility in both genders.
4. B Vitamins (B6):
-
-
B6 in sunflower seeds helps reduce PMS symptoms in women by supporting neurotransmitter production and hormone regulation. In men, it promotes a healthy nervous system and hormone metabolism.

PCOS Management:

Hormone Detoxification:
