Sea Moss (Irish Moss)

Sea moss, also known as Irish moss or red seaweed, is a type of seaweed that grows year-round in tidepools and inlets. It's found along the coastlines of Europe, North America, and the British Isles. 

In addition to essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, potassium and iodine, sea moss is also a good source of iron and vitamins C and A, which are known to aid your immune system. With so many nutrients packed into one plant, it's no wonder people are clamoring to use it as part of their skincare and diet routine.  

Sea Moss contains 92 of these minerals including; magnesium, potassium, iodine, sulfur, calcium, selenium, fiber, copper, phosphorus, zinc, riboflavin and manganese. These minerals supply energy to the body, regulate digestion and detoxify the body.

Sea moss is commonly harvested to extract carrageenan, a jelly-like substance often used by the food industry as a thickener. You'll find it in ice cream, nondairy milk, cottage cheese, jelly, and even toothpaste, shoe polish, and infant formula. Carrageenan is also used to cure leather.

Sea moss is tufted and has thin fanlike fronds. It comes in many colors, from greenish-yellow to dark purple, and is alleged to have many health benefits, though most have not been studied scientifically. The algae can be made into a drink by boiling and adding milk and honey. In some countries, it's considered to be an aphrodisiac for men.

Sea moss gel

Sea moss gel is a natural, nutrient-rich product derived from sea moss. Some people mix it with water to make a puree that they take by the spoonful or add to a smoothie. The gel has a texture similar to aloe vera, and it tastes like clams or oysters. Like all seaweeds, sea moss is high in minerals such as iodine, potassium, calcium, as well as vitamins and protein.
