Collection: Irish Sea Moss

Sea moss is a species of red algae found along the Atlantic coasts of Europe and North America. It has been harvested for centuries, particularly in places like Ireland and the Caribbean, and is prized for its nutrient density.

The term "Sea Moss" is often used to describe various species of seaweed, including Eucheuma cottonii and those from the Gracilaria genus. These types of seaweed thrive in warm, tropical waters and are commonly referred to as Jamaican Irish Moss or simply Sea Moss.

However, this is distinct from Irish Sea Moss (Chondrus crispus), a different species that naturally grows in the cold waters of the Atlantic Ocean, particularly along the coastlines of Ireland and other parts of Europe.

Many online sources discussing Sea Moss actually refer to Chondrus crispus. Despite this, the majority of Sea Moss products available for purchase are made from Gracilaria, not authentic Irish Sea Moss. The quality of Gracilaria can vary widely, and some lower-quality varieties may lack the nutritional benefits associated with genuine Chondrus crispus.

Gracilaria and Eucheuma cottonii are typically cultivated on ropes in warm-water regions such as St. Lucia and Vietnam. In contrast, true Irish Sea Moss grows wild and is sustainably harvested along the cold, rocky shores of places like County Clare in Ireland.

Our commitment is to provide only premium, organic Irish Sea Moss, responsibly hand-harvested from the unspoiled coastal waters of Ireland to ensure maximum purity and nutritional value.

Sea moss is rich in essential nutrients like iodine, magnesium, potassium, calcium, and vitamins A, E, and K. It’s also a source of fiber and antioxidants, making it a popular superfood.

The nutrients found within sea moss are known to support immune function, improve digestion, promote healthy skin, and aid thyroid health due to its high iodine content. the flavanoids and polyphenols attribute anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties to it

Sea moss has a mild, slightly oceanic flavour that’s often neutral when blended into a gel. It can be incorporated into smoothies, desserts, sauces, or even used as a thickener in vegan recipes.

A common dosage is 1-2 tablespoons of sea moss gel per day, but it’s best to start small and adjust based on your body’s response.

The time it takes to experience the benefits of sea moss can vary depending on individual factors like your health, diet, and consistency in use. Here’s a general timeline of what to expect:

• 1-2 weeks: Increased energy levels and better digestion.

• 3-4 weeks: Improvements in skin clarity, reduced inflammation, and enhanced thyroid support.

• 6+ weeks: Consistent use may contribute to stronger immunity, better joint health, and improved overall well-being.

For best results, take sea moss daily in the recommended dosage and combine it with a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.

Well, it can be safe, but it really depends on where you get it from. Not all sea moss is created equal. Some seaweed harvesters sell seaweeds that aren’t certified for human consumption, which can be risky. That’s why it’s so important to buy from reputable sellers who make sure their sea moss is safe and certified. To stay on the safe side, always check for certifications or ask the seller about their sourcing and testing practices. That way, you know you’re getting the good stuff!

Because sea moss is a rich source of iodine and is harvested from the ocean, those with thyroid conditions or shellfish allergies should typically avoid or consult a doctor before use.

1. Refrigeration: Always keep sea moss gel in an airtight glass jar in the refrigerator. This helps preserve its freshness and prevents contamination.
2. Temperature: Store it at or below 4°C (40°F) to maintain its texture and nutrient quality.
3. Freezing (Optional): For longer storage, you can freeze sea moss gel in ice cube trays for easy portioning. This can extend its shelf life significantly.

• Refrigerated: Fresh sea moss gel typically lasts 3 to 4 weeks if stored properly.
• Frozen: When frozen, sea moss gel can last 3 to 6 months without losing its nutritional value.

Tips for Freshness:

• Always use a clean spoon to scoop the gel to avoid introducing bacteria.
• If you notice mold, or discoloration, discard the gel immediately.

Sea moss may support weight loss as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle. While it’s not a magic solution, its natural properties can aid in weight management in several ways:

How Sea Moss May Help with Weight Loss:

Sea moss is rich in iodine, which supports thyroid function—a key regulator of metabolism. A healthy thyroid helps the body burn calories more efficiently. Its high content of soluble fiber (especially carrageenan) helps you feel fuller for longer, reducing appetite and unnecessary snacking.

Sea moss also contains prebiotics that nourish beneficial gut bacteria. A balanced gut may improve digestion and optimize how your body absorbs nutrients and manages weight.

Additionally, the antioxidants and omega-3s in sea moss may help combat chronic inflammation, which can make weight loss harder, promoting better metabolic health.

Lastly, sea moss is nutrient-dense but low in calories, making it a perfect addition to smoothies, teas, and soups without adding extra calories.

It's important to recognize that weight loss is influenced by multiple factors, such as total calorie consumption, the balance of macronutrients, physical activity levels, and individual metabolic rate. While Irish sea moss can be a helpful addition, relying on it alone without addressing these key aspects is unlikely to produce substantial weight loss results.

Our Irish Sea Moss is certified organic and undergoes lab testing for both nutritional content and heavy metal levels to guarantee the highest quality.
