2. What is Sea Moss?
Sea Moss is a type of red algae packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It’s been used for centuries for its numerous health benefits, like boosting the immune system, improving skin health, and supporting digestion. Our Sea Moss is wildcrafted, carefully harvested from the pristine shores of St. Lucia, Honduras, and Maine, ensuring it's rich in nutrients.
3. What’s the difference between Purple Sea Moss and Gold Sea Moss?
Both types of Sea Moss are packed with the same essential nutrients, but they have some unique differences:
- Purple Sea Moss has higher iodine content and is rich in anthocyanins, giving it stronger antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
-
Gold Sea Moss is a bit milder in flavor and scent but still offers excellent health benefits.
Purple Sea Moss requires a bit more cleaning and has a stronger sea-like smell and taste, but once blended into gel and added to smoothies or other recipes, the flavor and aroma fade.
4. How can I tell if Sea Moss is real?
Be careful where you buy Sea Moss! A lot of sea moss on the market is pool-grown and treated with chemicals like bleach. Our Sea Moss is 100% wildcrafted, meaning it's naturally harvested from the ocean, not from artificial pools. Real authentic Sea moss has a rich, golden-yellow hue, while pool-grown moss often has a more faded or artificially brightened appearance. If it smells like chlorine, it’s not the real deal!
5. How can I use Sea Moss Gel?
Sea Moss Gel is incredibly versatile! You can:
- Internally: Add it to smoothies, juices, teas, or even soups. It’s a great natural thickener in recipes and can be used as a substitute for oil when sautéing vegetables.
- Topically: Apply it as a face mask or all-over body treatment to hydrate and nourish the skin. It helps with conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and dry skin. Leave it on for about 20-30 minutes, then rinse off for softer, healthier skin!
6. Is Sea Moss safe to consume while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Many expectant and nursing mothers use Sea Moss gel without issues. In fact, it has helped some women produce more breast milk, improve skin clarity, and reduce stretch marks. Additionally, some mothers have found that it alleviates morning sickness. Always consult with your doctor before adding anything new to your routine, but Sea Moss is generally considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
7. How long does Sea Moss Gel last in the refrigerator?
Our Sea Moss Gel lasts:
- Eucheuma Cottonii Gel: Up to 3 weeks in the fridge
- Gracilaria and Irish Moss Gel: Up to 4 weeks in the fridge
For the best freshness, keep it sealed in an airtight container. If you’re using it daily, you’ll always have it fresh!
8. What are the health benefits of Sea Moss?
Sea Moss is packed with essential nutrients that support many aspects of your health. It promotes digestive health, boosts energy, strengthens the immune system, aids skin care, supports thyroid function, and even helps with weight management. The powerful combination of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants makes it an all-around superfood for both men and women.
9. Can I use Sea Moss Gel in my skincare routine?
Absolutely! Sea Moss Gel is known for its skin-healing properties. It's perfect for using as a face mask or applying directly to areas of dry or irritated skin. The rich minerals, like zinc, help with skin regeneration and hydration, and it may even reduce the appearance of fine lines, acne, and other skin issues.
10. Is Sea Moss safe for children?
Yes! Sea Moss is a natural, safe, and nutrient-rich supplement for children. It’s a great way to provide kids with essential minerals and vitamins. However, always start with small amounts and monitor your child for any potential allergies or sensitivities. As with any supplement, it's always best to consult with a pediatrician if you have concerns.

Yes, Sea Moss Gel can be used in cooking! You can add it to smoothies, teas, soups, sauces, and even use it as a thickening agent in baking. It blends well with most recipes and won’t overpower the flavor of your dishes.
12. How much Sea Moss should I take daily?
The recommended daily dosage of Sea Moss varies based on individual needs. Generally, a tablespoon of Sea Moss Gel per day is a great starting point. If you're using dried Sea Moss, 1-2 teaspoons of powdered Sea Moss can be added to your meals or drinks. Start with smaller amounts and adjust as needed.
13. Can Sea Moss help with weight loss?
Sea Moss can support weight management in a few ways. It’s low in calories, but rich in nutrients, making it a perfect addition to a healthy diet. It helps with digestion, improves satiety, and promotes a healthy gut microbiome, all of which can contribute to more effective weight loss.
14. How should I store Sea Moss Gel?
For optimal freshness, store your Sea Moss Gel in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Always make sure the gel is fully sealed to avoid contamination. Properly stored, it can last up to 3 weeks (Eucheuma Cottonii) or 4 weeks (Gracilaria and Irish Moss).
