Fennel Seed Extract
(Foeniculum vulgare)

Main benefits:
Digestion. Bloat. Hormones. PMS. Calm.

Origin and Source:
Native to the Mediterranean and long used in Ayurvedic and Traditional European medicine, Foeniculum vulgare is a licorice-sweet seed known for its soothing, cleansing, and hormone-balancing effects. At NØØT, we use a high-potency extract standardized for anethole — the aromatic compound behind fennel’s signature digestive and estrogenic benefits.

Key Benefits and Science

Digestive Comfort & Bloat Relief

Traditionally used to reduce gas, bloating, and digestive cramping — especially after heavy meals or during PMS.
Supports motility and gut relaxation, making it a favorite for bloat-free beauty and post-meal comfort.

Hormonal Balance & Estrogenic Support

Contains phytoestrogenic compounds like anethole, which are commonly used to support healthy estrogen metabolism.
Integrated into women’s wellness protocols for cycle support, perimenopause, and hormonal skin issues.

Menstrual Wellness & Cramp Relief

Fennel has been studied for its natural antispasmodic and pain-relieving effects during menstruation.
Often used in herbal blends to soothe discomfort and restore emotional-physical balance.

Skin-Gut Axis & Radiance

By calming the gut and supporting hormone detoxification, fennel indirectly enhances skin clarity, hydration, and reduced puffiness.
Helps regulate the microbiome, which is increasingly linked to systemic inflammation and skin health.

Why It’s Good for You

Fennel Seed is the quiet regulator — working gently but effectively where digestion, hormones, and inflammation intersect. Whether you're feeling bloated, hormonally off, or looking to support glow from within, fennel helps restore rhythm, flow, and clarity — especially for women navigating stress, cycles, or gut imbalances.
