Sea moss, or Irish moss, is a type of sea algae that can be added to food or taken as a nutritional supplement. It is naturally rich in minerals and iodine, and may support healthy immune and thyroid function, as well as promote hair and skin health*.  Sea moss may also play a role in helping the body recover from workouts and help relieve fatigue.*

Iodine-rich foods support healthy thyroid function, healthy metabolism and promote brain health. The thyroid gland must have high enough iodine levels to make thyroxine, a key hormone that works to regulate important, everyday biochemical reactions.*  Thyroid disorders that may arise from low-iodine levels can lead to symptoms like sluggish appetite, heart issues, mood changes, weight fluctuations and appetite changes.*

Sea Moss is often used in skin care products because of its anti-inflammatory properties. It’s rich in nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A and magnesium. Currently, there isn’t any scientific research on the benefits of Irish moss for skin, but its vitamin and mineral content alone are promising for promoting healthy aging.*
