Sea moss, also known as Irish moss or red seaweed, is a type of seaweed that grows year-round in tidepools and inlets. It is commonly harvested in New England to extract carrageenan, a gelatinous carbohydrate used in baked goods and cosmetics. Sea moss can also be eaten on its own and is often used to thicken soups and stews.

Sea moss gel is a natural, nutrient-rich product derived from sea moss. It is high in minerals such as iodine, potassium, and calcium, and serves as a thickening and stabilizing agent in food, cosmetics, and medicine.

The health benefits of sea moss have gained attention, with claims ranging from skincare to immune system support. However, scientific research on its medical benefits is still in the early stages. Preliminary studies suggest that sea moss may help slow the progression of Parkinson’s disease and boost the immune system, potentially protecting against salmonella. More research is needed to validate these findings.

Sea moss is considered a superfood due to its vegan and gluten-free nature, along with its rich nutrient profile. It contains vitamins, minerals, and has minimal caloric content. It is important to consume sea moss in moderation, as excessive iodine intake can lead to thyroid issues. A serving size of sea moss is two tablespoons per day.
