Sea moss is a type of seaweed that is high in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and protein. It has many potential health benefits, including:
- Supports thyroid health :
Our thyroid gland releases hormones for growth, energy, reproduction, and repair, requiring
nutrients like iodine and tyrosine. These nutrients are found in seaweed, with levels varying
depending on the variety and storage methods, and are essential for maintaining overall
health. - Supports Gut health :
Seaweed is a rich source of dietary fiber, particularly polysaccharides, which can be
digested by gut bacteria. This serves as a prebiotic, providing food for beneficial gut
microbes, which contribute to our health by producing short chain fatty acids, which are
essential for maintaining a healthy digestive system. - Supports Immunity :
The harsh conditions of the coastal waters in which seaweed, like sea moss, have evolved
to survive has meant they've developed an enviable defence mechanism. As such, they are
rich in phytochemicals which, when consumed, provide health benefits including immune
modulation and improved immune response for the consumer. - Improves blood sugar control :
Seaweed, rich in carotenoid and fucoxanthin compounds, may aid in blood sugar
management and potentially reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes by reducing insulin
resistance and slowing digestion speed, making it a beneficial addition to a balanced diet.Supports heart health :
Seaweed, including sea moss, is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, crucial for heart and
cardiovascular health. Studies suggest it can improve cholesterol balance and reduce heart
disease risk. However, more research is needed to understand the specific health effects of
sea moss in the human diet.
