Nature's Sea Moss Gel (710g)

Sea moss, known scientifically as Chondrus crispus is a type of algae or seaweed, which is found on the Atlantic shores of North America, Europe, and the Caribbean Islands.

Its low number of calories and fat means that sea moss is popular for its suggested range of health benefits, which may help to support a healthy lifestyle.

It contains a small amount of protein, as well as offers a variety of vitamins and minerals. It’s also a great source of iodine and antioxidants.

• Supporting digestive function

Seaweeds are a good source of live bacteria and fiber, which are known to support gut health.

• Supporting thyroid function

Sea moss contains iodine, which is good for your thyroid and potentially provides support for weight loss. However, if you are already taking medication to support your lack of iodine that it's probably worth researching this further.

• More energy

Sea moss contains iron, which is a great way to support your energy levels. A lack of iron can make you feel tired and lethargic.

• Skin nourishment

Sea moss contains magnesium, vitamin A, vitamin K, and omega-3 fatty acids that hydrate and support healthy skin cell function.

• Improved immune function

While there is no specific human study, one study into salmon suggested that sea moss can help build the body’s immune response.

• Supporting mood

Sea moss has about two times more potassium than an average-sized banana. Potassium is a very important mineral that helps to support mental and emotional health.

• Heart health

Some studies suggest that sea moss can lower cholesterol and help thin the blood. However, this is not proven and requires more human research.

• Blood sugar management

One study into seaweed found the compound fucoxanthin, which is thought to normalize high blood sugar levels.

• Aphrodisiac

Caribbean natives have been using sea moss as a natural aphrodisiac for many years. Its high zinc content is thought to increase sex hormones that play a key role in libido levels.

• Supports overall health and wellness

Sea moss is a powerful superfood that is full of minerals and nutrients that can help your body run healthy.
