But the magic of moss doesn’t stop there. Let’s take a look at the potential mental, physical and spiritual benefits of Sea Moss too.
The Magic of Moss.
Inflammation
Skin feeling sore? Sea moss contains polyphenols and has unique anti-inflammatory, antifungal and antiviral properties that can make it an effective remedy for inflammation. The anti-inflammatory qualities also make sea moss a must-have for anyone who suffers with joint pain or those who just want to keep their joints strong and healthy. It is often used to aid in post-workout muscle recovery.
Thyroid health
Iodine and amino acid tyrosine both support a healthy thyroid gland, and are both found in seaweeds like sea moss.
Heart health
One of the best plant sources of omega-3 fatty acids, vital for heart health - studies also suggest sea moss may lower cholesterol and help thin the blood, reducing the risk of heart disease.
Mood boosting (and more)
Containing nutrients like potassium, flavonoids, antioxidants, and Omega-3, all said to support mental and emotional health, sea moss is also touted in the Caribbean as a natural aphrodisiac thanks to its high zinc content and blood flow benefits.
Respiratory health
Rich in Vitamins A, C and E, as well as being a natural decongestant, sea moss is highly rated for its potential to support respiration - especially for inflammation-related conditions like asthma or bronchitis.
Gut health
Go with your gut - not just wise life advice, but one of sea moss’ biggest supposed benefits. A good source of live bacteria and dietary fibre, it can act as a prebiotic for our beneficial gut microbes, which goes a long way towards supporting your digestive function as well as reducing bloating and abdominal discomfort.
Immunity
Packed with phytochemicals and antioxidants to survive in harsh water conditions, sea moss can support our immune modulation and response, helping to combat those pesky colds & flus, all while potentially reducing the risk of chronic diseases.
Extra energy
Feeling fatigued? A lot of the time, that can be due to a lack of iron, protein or magnesium - all of which you’ll find in our high quality sea moss, ready to leave you feeling fresh and energised.
Weight loss
Sea moss is low in calories and high in polysaccharides such as carrageenan - which are thought to make you feel fuller for longer, as well as potentially regulating your appetite and reducing body fat.
Hair, skin and nails
What do you get when you combine Vitamins A, B, C, D, E and K with iron, zinc, calcium, magnesium and more? A recipe for glossy hair, flawless skin and healthy nails, all contained within our Moss Magic sea moss.
Blood sugar control
Supporting blood sugar management with compounds like carotenoid and fucoxanthin, as well as its high fibre content - studies suggest including seaweeds like sea moss as part of a healthy, balanced diet may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.
Hormonal balance & Fertility
With sea moss’ high iodine content helping to promote thyroid function, this in turn contributes to production of healthy, balanced hormones. Sea Moss is said to also enhance fertility. It contains folates and zinc which are essential for promoting prenatal development and creating the right environment for conception to occur.
