What is Sea Moss?
Sea moss is a type of seaweed, also known as algae, found in ocean waters around the world. There are thousands of different species of seaweed and algae, but sea moss, commonly called sea moss or Irish sea moss, is scientifically known as Chondrus crispus. It is most widely known for its incredible nutrient density. Our sea moss is harvested from the Carribean Island of Jamaica, dried and made fresh for each order.
Is Sea Moss Healthy?
Sea moss is a heart healthy food. This is primarily due to its omega-3 content. Research shows that intake of omega-3 fatty acids is correlated with lower risk of cardiovascular disease. It also packs a significant amount of fiber per serving. As we know, fiber draws LDL cholesterol (“bad” cholesterol) out of the body. It’s also a great addition to a diet working on weight loss or weight maintenance. Because of its low calorie content, sea moss is what we like to call a “volume food,” meaning you can eat a lot of it for few calories. What’s more, the high fiber content makes it a slow-digesting food, meaning it will keep you fuller longer.
Sea moss is also a great immune boosting food. Sea moss contains high levels of prebiotics. Probiotics are the active, beneficial bacteria that live in our gut and fight off diseases. Probiotics require prebiotic fiber in order to live and flourish. Also, species of sea moss contain fatty acids, polyphenols, carotenoids, complex polysaccharides, and live bacteria, all of which can contribute to the healthy bacteria in the intestines.
Sea moss is also a great source of iodine. Iodine is a mineral the human body needs in order to produce thyroid hormones (the hormones that control metabolic function and processes). Iodine deficiency can cause symptoms like fatigue, weakness and constipation. Sea moss contains about 47 milligrams of iodine per gram.
It can also contribute to muscle health, function and recovery. Sea moss contains an amino acid called taurine, an amino acid that helps to heal and recover muscle micro-tears, aka what happens every time we work out intensely. Sea moss also contains a significant amount of magnesium, a mineral essential for contraction and relaxation of muscles. Two tablespoons of sea moss contains about 14.4mg of magnesium.
When used topically, sea moss offers several benefits to skin health. It’s relatively high in sulfur. Sulfur is a naturally occurring mineral that has powerful antibacterial properties. When applied topically, it helps to absorb any excess oil that may contribute to buildup, which can lead to acne or blemishes. Further, sulfur is keratolytic, meaning that it breaks down the outer layer of the skin — basically a fancy way of saying it serves as an exfoliator.
