What is Seamoss?

Seamoss is a natural occurring algae found in the sea. Some of the seamoss being offered on the market today are grown in pools… you DO NOT want that seamoss. Think of naturally occurring seamoss as the Wild Caught fish of the industry vs farm raised. Usually the farm raised fish are kept in small breeding grounds and pumped with chemicals to make them bigger. Yea… seamoss can be pumped full of chemicals too! When looking for Seamoss, you’ll find an overwhelming offering of gels, powders, drinks, and even different kinds of moss.

We have an herbal infused Seamoss capsule that is 5x’s more potent than any gel on the market, and way more shelf stable than water based extracts. Find our capsules here.

The Most Potent Sea Herbs…

1. Dulse - an edible red algae that has a very dense nutritional profile. The important health benefits of dulse include its ability to build bone health, optimize the digestive system, increase growth and repair, lower blood pressure, improve vision, and protect the immune system. Dulse also helps to improve the thyroid gland and strengthen the nervous system. Dulse is used to flavor soups and salads, used as an herb for flavor (particularly certain varieties that taste vaguely of bacon when fried), and as a side to meat dishes. Dulse is very similar to seaweed in many ways but tends to have more fiber and protein content.

2. Kelp - a type of large, brown seaweed that grows in shallow, nutrient-rich saltwater near coastal fronts around the world. Kelp produces a compound called sodium alginate. Food manufacturers use sodium alginate as a thickener in many foods, including ice cream and salad dressing. Because it absorbs the nutrients from its surrounding marine environment, kelp is rich in vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. Kelp is one of the best natural food sources of iodine, an essential component in thyroid hormone production. It can also raise energy levels and improve brain function. Kelp contains Vitamin K1, Folate, Magnesium, Iron, Vitamin A, Pantothenic Acid, and Calcium.

   Inflammation and stress are considered risk factors of many chronic diseases. Including antioxidant-rich food in the diet may help prevent them. Kelp is high in antioxidants, including carotenoids and flavonoids, which help fight against disease-causing free radicals.

   Antioxidant minerals, such as manganese and zinc, help combat oxidative stress and may help protect cardiovascular health and prevent cancer.

3. Bladderwrack - one of the most common iodine-rich seaweed. It is used for thyroid problems, obesity, joint pain, constipation, and skincare. Bladderwrack has been an herbal remedy and a culinary element in various cultures for centuries. It was the source of iodine, which was hugely important in treating various conditions, such as deficiency, a consequence of which can be goiter – and is also an important part of a nutritional diet. The high levels of mucilage, beta-carotene, iodine, potassium, zeaxanthin, and other organic compounds give this herb a great deal of health power as well. Bladderwrack reduces inflammation, improves digestion, boosts heart health, improves skin, regulates the menstrual cycle, and speeds up wound healing.

4. Irish Sea Moss - a type of red algae that grows on the Atlantic coastlines of North America, Europe, and the Caribbean Islands. Its mucilaginous texture makes it a great healing/soothing agent for mucus membranes in the body, including in the respiratory and digestive systems. It can increase beneficial short-chain fatty acids in the colon, get rid of bad bacteria in the gut, and improve overall gut health and immunity. Irish Sea moss contains a decent amount of riboflavin (B2) and folate (B9). Riboflavin is needed to break down proteins, carbs, and fats, while folate is needed to form DNA and other genetic material. When folate pairs up with B12, it also helps to create red blood cells. Sea moss is tasteless so you can add it to a variety of dishes. In fact, it's an especially great plant-based substitute for gelatin or other thickening agents. You can also put it in smoothies, juice, cakes, sauces, homemade ice cream, stews, and soups.

5. Jamaican Purple Sea Moss - a kind of seaweed/alga is packed with vitamins and 92 minerals of 109 that are essential to our body. Purple sea moss is considered as one of the most nutrient and mineral rich food on the planet. It can serve as a powerful drink that gives your body the nutrition it needs. It can improve our immunity and fight off cold, sore throat, fever etc. because of its anti-viral properties. It is believed that the purple sea moss drink can increase sex drive when boiled with cinnamon and milk. It helps to maintain a healthy mucous membrane and relieve us from decongestion. It is a great source of calcium and Sulphur based amino acids that can make your bones stronger. Purple Sea Moss is rich in magnesium, chromium, iodine, bromine, selenium, pectin, manganese, potassium, iron, zinc, B-vitamins and vitamin C.

Our Herbal company - The Herban Brand - makes a deliciously potent Jamaican Purple Seamoss drink called Purple Drank. It is available in our Wellness Center and online here.
