Sea Moss Benefits-Everything You Need to Know.
Sea Moss: Nature’s most nutrient-dense powerhouse
According to archaeologists, Sea Moss, specifically Chondrus Crispus (Irish Moss), has been used for its powerful healing benefits for approximately 14,000 years dating back to 600 BC.
Sea Moss was especially crucial during the Irish Potato Famine in the 1800s when people needed to supplement vital nutrients to survive. Back then, the Irish believed this naturally growing algae would cure sick calves, human colds & flus, and congestion.
Today, the sea moss benefits are widely recognised and appreciated worldwide. This nutrient-rich seaweed offers natural properties that nourish both the body and mind.
What is Sea Moss?
Sea Moss is a sea vegetable that comes in Gold, Purple, Green and Red varieties. Due to its wide range of health benefits, Sea Moss is primarily used by humans as a natural supplement.
Found in both, tropical and colder oceans, Sea Moss is an edible sea plant and can be likened to other one’s humans consume like seaweed, algae and other leafy vegetables such as kelp. Sea Moss is an algae but actually looks a lot more like seaweed.
Each variety is potent, pure and reported to contain a multitude of essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids our bodies need to function at optimal levels, including vitamin A, B, C, E and minerals like Iron, Magnesium, Manganese, Zinc, Selenium, Potassium, Iodine and Calcium to name a few.
There are three main types of Sea Moss species: Eucheuma Cottonii, Gracilaria, and Chondrus Crispus (Irish Moss), all of which are closely related with similar benefits but slightly different tastes.
We find that the darker the moss, the stronger the flavour is.
Sustainability is important to us
At Natures Farmer Sea, we want to help you easily create healthy habits while also looking after the Ocean, which is why we use sustainably ocean-grown Eucheuma Cottonii Gold to prepare our gels. Our Sea Moss grows in the pristine waters of the St Lucia and this variety makes delicious Sea Moss blends every time – so you get all the benefits and none of the strong ocean taste.
We also use sustainably wildcrafted Irish Sea Moss directly from Ireland for our capsules to virtually reduce the bold taste and provide you with a palatable natural product you can take anywhere.

Sea Moss may help regulate your appetite by helping increase your feeling of fullness when eating. This is primarily because of the naturally occurring carrageenan that seamoss contains, which is not to be confused with poligeenan.
Although carrageenan and poligeenan are completely different, carrageenan is a natural substance found in seaweed whilst poligeenan isn’t found in nature at all. Prior to 1988 misinformation led people to name poligeenan degraded carrageenan, causing the confusion around carrageenan.
Poligeenan doesn’t have the same weight controlling benefits as carrageenan and in fact is used for medical imaging and isn’t consumed in food at all.
