Sea moss has gained popularity on social media due to its numerous health benefits, but what exactly is it, and is it worth the hype?

0:05 What is sea moss?
0:23 Benefits of sea moss
1:03 What is the purpose of trace minerals?
1:50 Importance of selenium
2:56 Advantages of iodine
3:40 Carrageenan and its effects
Sea moss and sea kelp are both types of seaweed that grow underwater and have similar nutritional value. People have used sea moss on their skin and internally to help with digestion and inflammation.
Sea moss contains various nutrients, including amino acids, fiber, vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, and phytonutrients.
One of the standout features of sea moss and other types of seaweed is its high mineral content. This includes trace minerals, which are essential for our health but needed in small amounts.
Trace minerals are crucial in activating enzymes and proteins that aid in various bodily functions. For example, selenium is essential for converting the inactive form of thyroid hormone (T4) to its active form (T3) and supporting immune function.
Sea moss is also a great source of iodine. Iodine is crucial for thyroid health and helps regulate estrogen levels in women.
Unfortunately, most land-grown produce lacks trace minerals. To get enough of these essential minerals, we need to consume foods grown near the ocean or directly from the sea itself.
Some forms of seaweed, including sea moss, contain carrageenan. While this ingredient has been linked to digestive issues, it’s important to distinguish between naturally occurring carrageenan found in sea moss and the artificially added version found in processed foods.

Kelp, bladderwrack, sea moss, wakame, fucoxanthin, fucoidan, laminaria japonica, chlorella , spirulina, red algae, blue green algae – all from seaweed and algae family have targetted benefits.
Personally, I like fucoidan and wakame for their strong anti cancer properties.
The seaweed, microalgae, mushroom and soil based probiotics families have max health benefits. I try to take one from each family.
I am screenshooting your post for the information and to do my own research on what I need. Thank you!
My problem with taking a supplement or food from the ocean is that it’s probably radioactive especially after WW2. I readily a nutritional that was kelp based from the ocean. One of the minerals was uranium!

When I was a little kid growing up in the 1990s,
CrownHeights/Flatbush, Brooklyn, N.Y.
The Jamaicans that I lived with for a while; introduced me to
Irish Moss drink with nutmeg,
icing glass, and it was Delicious!
Then the Rastafarians taught me how to make Sea Moss gel!
Gives you lots of Stamina, energy, and vitality!
Miss those Jamaicans.
