1. What is Sea Moss and why should I use it?
Sea moss is a type of red algae packed with vital nutrients and minerals—containing 92 of the 102 minerals your body needs to thrive. It's been used for generations to support immune health, improve digestion, boost energy, and promote glowing skin. Thanks to its natural versatility, you can eat it, drink it, or use it topically—making it a powerful addition to your daily wellness routine.
2. How long does sea moss last?
Dried sea moss can last over a year when stored in a cool, dark place like your cupboard. Once you’ve made sea moss gel, it will stay fresh for about 2-3 weeks in the refrigerator. Be sure to store it in a clean glass jar and always use a clean spoon to prevent contamination and maintain freshness.
3. How is full spectrum sea moss different from regular sea moss?
Full spectrum sea moss and regular (golden) sea moss are the same plant, but the key difference is in the drying process. Full spectrum sea moss is dried in the shade, which is a slower and more skillful process. This method retains more of the plant’s nutrients, giving it a stronger taste, smell, and potency compared to regular sea moss. If you’re new to sea moss, you might want to start with the regular (golden) variety, but if you’re seeking a more powerful, nutrient-dense option, full spectrum sea moss is perfect.
4. Why does my sea moss have salt on it?
Our sea moss is all naturally processed without any added salt. The salt you see on the sea moss is naturally occurring and comes from the ocean. The full spectrum variety, in particular, tends to hold more moisture and salt, as it’s dried in the shade and the salt doesn’t evaporate as it does with the regular sea moss.
5. How do I make sea moss gel?
Making your own sea moss gel is simple! Here’s how:
1.) Clean/Soak: Rinse a handful of dried sea moss well to remove any impurities or debris. Place the sea moss in a container with enough water to fully cover it and let it soak for at least 4-6 hours, or overnight. Adding a squeeze of lime or lemon juice while soaking helps neutralize the sea moss taste and preserves the gel.
2.) Drain/Blend: After soaking, drain the sea moss and place it in your blender. Add just enough water to cover the sea moss and blend on high until it reaches a smooth, gel-like consistency. (Note: Full spectrum sea moss may need more water due to its moisture content.)
3.) Store: Your sea moss gel is now ready to use! Store it in a clean glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Use it in smoothies, teas, soups, desserts, or even as a face mask. Always use a clean spoon when handling the gel to maintain its freshness.
Suggested Daily Serving: 1-2 tablespoons is a great starting point for daily consumption.
6. How can I incorporate sea moss into my diet?
Sea moss is incredibly versatile and can be added to many foods, drinks, and even skincare routines. Here are some popular and creative ways to use it:
Smoothies – Blend 1–2 tablespoons into your daily smoothie for a thick, mineral-rich upgrade.
Teas & Tonics – Stir into herbal teas or morning tonics; it dissolves easily in warm liquids.
Soups & Stews – Add to broths, curries, or stews as a natural thickener that’s nearly flavorless.
Sauces & Dressings – Whisk into salad dressings, marinades, or pasta sauces for extra nutrients.
Baking & Treats – Use in raw desserts, puddings, or even in baked goods like muffins to enhance moisture.
By the Spoonful – Enjoy it straight from the jar (1–2 tbsp daily) with a clean spoon—quick and easy!
Juices or Lemon Water – Stir into fresh juices or lemon water for a simple mineral boost.
Oatmeal or Chia Pudding – Mix into breakfast bowls for added texture and nutrition.
Frozen Cubes – Freeze sea moss gel in ice trays for pre-measured smoothie or tea boosts.
Pro tip: Pair it with citrus (like lemon, orange, or pineapple) for better taste and absorption.
Remember —sea moss is also great for external use! Apply it as a face mask to soothe, hydrate, and reduce inflammation.
7. What are the health benefits of Sea Moss?
Sea moss is packed with minerals and nutrients that support overall wellness. Some of the most notable benefits include:
Immune Support – Rich in antioxidants, Vitamin C, and prebiotic fiber, sea moss may help strengthen the immune system and gut health (Medical News Today).
Digestive Health – Its high fiber content can support digestion and promote healthy gut bacteria (Banner Health).
Skin Health – Sea moss is hydrating and contains sulfur compounds that may help with acne and eczema when applied topically or consumed (Healthline).
Thyroid Function – A natural source of iodine, sea moss supports thyroid health, though it should be used in moderation (Cleveland Clinic).
Bone & Joint Support – Sea moss is rich in minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium, which help maintain bone strength and may support joint health and inflammation balance (PubMed).
As with any supplement, consult your healthcare provider before adding sea moss to your routine—especially if you have thyroid conditions, are pregnant, or taking medications.
8. Can I use sea moss if I have allergies?
Sea moss is generally safe for most people, but if you have an allergy to iodine, seafood, or seaweed, it's best to consult your healthcare provider before using it. If you're new to sea moss, start with a small amount (such as 1 teaspoon) to assess how your body reacts. Should you experience any adverse reactions, such as rashes or digestive discomfort, discontinue use and seek medical advice. Always consult your healthcare provider if you have specific health concerns, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are on medications, to ensure sea moss is safe for you.
