IRISH MOSS/SEA MOSS

PRODUCT INFORMATION 

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF SEA MOSS?

HELPS DIGESTION
When made into a gelatin-like consistency and added to foods like your morning smoothie, sea moss can soothe the respiratory tract and digestive tract. 

Sea moss is also a prebiotic, which is a type of dietary fiber that's essentially fertilizer for probiotics (healthy bacteria in your gut) and, thus, helps further support digestion.

GREAT FOR PRE NATAL DEVELOPMENT
Sea moss is loaded with key minerals such as folate, which is essential for prenatal health and development.

HIGH IN IODINE 
It's also high in iodine, which is "is important for promoting the development of normal breast tissue," says Foroutan. "Iodine is [also] super fuel for the thyroid." Iodine helps the thyroid run properly and make thyroid hormones, which regulate metabolism, encourage bone and brain development during pregnancy and infancy, among many other important functions.

BOOSTS IMMUNITY
Also, because sea moss is high in immune-boosting nutrients like iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and zinc, it may also support the immune system and help you fight off cold and flu symptoms, adds Foroutan.

When applied topically...

Sea moss offers antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, which means it can help with issues like acne and aging skin. "It's rich in sulfur, which is known to lower levels of microorganisms on the skin and soothe inflammation."

"Sea moss also contains vitamins and minerals like magnesium, vitamin A, vitamin K, and omega-3 fatty acids, which help to hydrate and promote healthy skin cell function," he adds. Use it topically so your skin can absorb the vitamins and minerals.
