What Is Wildcrafted Seamoss + It’s Benefits

What is Irish Sea Moss?

Welcome to the wonderful world of Irish Seamoss. This incredible seaweed is harvested from the Atlantic coasts near Ireland, Europe, and the North America. Its first known use dates back to the 1800s during the potato famine in Ireland when people began eating the red algae found on the beaches. That's how the name "Irish Moss" originated.

Forms and Uses

Irish Sea Moss is available in several forms, including:
- Powder
- Capsules
- Gel
- Dried form

It gained popularity thanks to Dr. Sebi, a well-known herbalist who highlighted its nutritional benefits. If you see "wildcrafted seamoss" on a package, it means the seaweed was grown and harvested in the wild, rather than in man-made pools.

The most common preparation is in gel form, which is super easy to make at home. Once prepared, the gel is nearly flavorless and can be added to beverages and various dishes.

Our wildcrafted Seamoss gel is sourced directly from the pristine waters of St. Lucia and is approved by the St. Lucia Ministry of Agriculture. We ensure that you get the highest quality Seamoss, sustainably harvested and packed with nutrients to support your wellness journey.

Seaweed, in general, is packed with nutrients, and Irish Seamoss is no exception. It boasts around 92 vitamins and minerals, including iodine, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sulfur.

1. Immune Support
Wildcrafted Seamoss has been found to have antiviral and anti tumor properties in animals and humans according to some studies.

2. Healthy Skin & Hair
Seamoss is often used in beauty products, much like aloe vera, for its soothing properties and ability to protect the skin’s natural moisture barrier.

3. Respiratory Support
Seamoss is frequently added to supplements that support internal mucous membranes, including the upper respiratory system.

4. Detox
Our seamoss infusions, including supplements and wellness shots, are often said to support detoxification. The high potassium chloride content is believed to draw toxins from cells, although more studies are needed to confirm this.

5. Gut Health
Studies have shown that the prebiotic effects of red sea moss may help support a healthy gut, which is important for both digestion and the immune system.

6. Energy
Seamoss is high in iron, which can help combat fatigue. If low iron levels are an issue for you, try incorporating some sea vegetables into your diet.

7. Weight Management

Iodine, an essential mineral found in seamoss, supports thyroid hormone production and metabolism. The thickening nature of sea moss may also aid in satiety, similar to chia and flax seeds.

How Much to Take Daily

Take 2 to 3 tablespoons of seamoss gel daily, preferably mixed into a juice, smoothie, or protein shake.

Side Effects & Cautions

Seamoss is generally considered safe for most people when consumed in moderation. However, it is a high-iodine food, and too much iodine can cause thyroid problems. If you have a thyroid disorder or already take supplements containing iodine, you should speak with your doctor first.

How to Use
Seamoss gel can be added to a variety of foods and even used topically. It will thicken whatever you add it to. One of the most popular uses is in a traditional Jamaican sweet creamy drink. For best results, use a blender to mix the gel into smoothies and other beverages. You can whisk it, but some gel pieces may remain, similar to Aloe Vera Juice.

We hope this gives you a clear and friendly overview of Wildcrafted Seamoss. Whether you’re new to seamoss or an enthusiast it’s always exciting to explore its benefits and how it can enhance your wellness journey.
