Sea Moss: A naturally ocean-grown superfood
Sea Moss is a species of red seaweed (commonly Eucheuma Cottonii and Gracilaria) that thrives along tropical coastlines where the ocean is clean and warm. For centuries, it has been harvested, prepared, and consumed by coastal communities as part of their everyday diet and cultural traditions. Naturally rich in minerals, plant compounds, and fibre, Sea Moss has a unique gel-like texture that makes it both versatile and easy to use in food and drink. Today, it is increasingly recognised around the world as a simple, sustainable way to reconnect with ocean-grown nutrition and add variety to a modern lifestyle.
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 minerals our bodies need to function at optimal levels.
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.
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 can be found worldwide, naturally growing and thriving within the warmer, tropical waters of the Caribbean and cooler waters of the North Atlantic Ocean in Ireland and Canada.
*Natures Farmer Sea sources our Sea Moss from the pristine waters of Saint Lucia in the Caribbean and Ireland.

Sea Moss Shelf Life
Our Sea Moss is all natural and free from preservatives, artificial flavours, colours, fillers, stabiliser and any other added nasties.
This is what makes our Sea Moss gels so good for you. They are as close to nature as intended and that's why lots of customers are reporting many different benefits.
Due to our gels being all natural, they have a natural healthy shelf life; we put a 4 week best before date on our jars. Please keep in mind a “best before” is different to an “expiry date”.
Think of Sea Moss gel as organic fruit and veg! Super healthy and clean but not going to last 6 months.
Here are some great ways to ensure a longer Shelf Life:
- Use a clean dry spoon every time
- No fingers in the jars
- Freeze Sea Moss gel in ice cube trays when getting closer to the best before date (don’t freeze in the glass jars). It will last for up to 3 months.
If you stick to the recommended daily dosage of 2 tablespoons per day you will get through the jars in roughly:
375ml – 1 week
500ml – 10 – 14 days
1 litre – 4 weeks
