What is SeaMoss?

Sea moss is a type of marine algae (seaweed) that grows naturally in coastal waters and has been used for centuries as both a food and wellness ingredient. It’s rich in essential minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, and prebiotic fibers, including iodine, calcium, potassium, magnesium, and zinc, which contribute to its reputation as a nutrient-dense superfood. Sea moss can be eaten raw, rehydrated, or processed into gels, powders, or supplements, and is low in calories while providing compounds that may support thyroid function, digestion, immune health, skin health, and energy levels.

In the Caribbean--particularly around Saint Lucia where our product is sourced--sea moss commonly refers to varieties like Gracilaria that are harvested from warm Atlantic waters, sun-dried, and prepared into gel or other forms used in traditional diets and tonics; these practices have been passed down through generations and reflect the region’s long history with this natural resource. Historically, related seaweeds such as Chondrus crispus — often called Irish moss — were used in Europe, especially in Ireland, for food thickening and nourishment during hardship, and later adopted into beverages and folk remedies. Today, sea moss is gaining global popularity as a wellness supplement, blending its traditional use with modern interest in natural, nutrient-rich foods.

 

How do I take it?

Before consuming the SeaMoss gel, It is recommended to begin by cleansing your digestive system, which can be done using a high-quality herbal detox tea of your choice. Once this process is complete, start each day by consuming up to four tablespoons of the product. Allow at least two hours before eating your first meal to help ensure optimal effectiveness and proper nutrient absorption. Moving forward, maintain a healthy, balanced diet. Fried foods, starches, and excessive sugars should be limited or avoided; if consumed, they should be enjoyed in moderation and in smaller portions.

 

Is it safe for pregnant women?

This question arises frequently. Research indicates that Sea Moss is generally considered safe during pregnancy, and in some countries, it has traditionally been used as a natural alternative to prenatal vitamins. However, it is strongly recommended that you conduct your own research and consult with a holistic healthcare practitioner before using Sea Moss while pregnant.

 

Can children take it?

Yes, children can take SeaMoss. I recommend a lower dosage, no more than 2 tablespoons per day for any child under the age of 12 years old.
