Sea Moss 101
Everything you need to know about the ocean's most mineral-rich superfood — what it is, why it works, and how to make it part of your daily ritual.
What is sea moss?
Sea moss (Chondrus crispus and Eucheuma cottonii) is a type of red algae that grows along the rocky coasts of the Atlantic. For centuries, Caribbean and Irish coastal communities have harvested it as a nutrient-dense food and natural remedy.
92 minerals
Sea moss is one of the few plant sources that contains 92 of the 102 minerals the human body needs — including iodine, calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron and zinc. That's why we call it the ocean's multivitamin.
Health benefits
Regular sea moss consumption supports thyroid function, gut health, immune response, skin elasticity and joint recovery. Its high mineral density makes it a popular supplement for energy, endurance and recovery.
How to prepare it
Rinse raw moss in spring water, then soak for 12–24 hours until it expands and softens. Blend the soaked moss with fresh water to make a smooth gel. Store the gel in the fridge for up to three weeks and take 1–2 tablespoons daily.
Gold vs purple
Gold sea moss has a milder flavour and grows in warmer, shallower water. Purple sea moss gets its colour from anthocyanin antioxidants and tends to be slightly more mineral-dense. Both offer the full 92-mineral profile.
Lab tested
Every batch is third-party tested for heavy metals, microbes and contaminants. We harvest from pristine St. Lucia reefs, rinse in spring water and sun-dry on the shore — no chemicals, no pools, no shortcuts.
Frequently asked questions
How much sea moss should I take daily?
Most people take 1–2 tablespoons of gel per day, or 2–4 grams of raw moss. Start small and increase gradually — your body will tell you what feels right.
Is your sea moss really wildcrafted?
Yes. Our divers harvest from wild reefs off the coast of St. Lucia. We never use farmed or pool-grown sea moss, and every batch is traceable to its harvest location.
How long does the gel last?
Our gels are good for three weeks refrigerated and must be kept cold. Because there are no preservatives, the gel sets naturally and may loosen at room temperature.
Can I take sea moss every day?
Yes, daily use is common and safe for most people. If you have a thyroid condition or are pregnant, consult your healthcare provider first — sea moss is naturally rich in iodine.
