WHY SEA MOSS
WEIGHT LOSS
​
With diet and exercise, Sea Moss will aid in achieving quick weight loss by cleansing your system of buildup and toxins, increasing your metabolism and lowering your appetite and desire for unhealthy foods.
DIGESTIVE HEALTH
​
Sea moss has a mucilaginous consistency, meaning it can help act as a soothing and healing agent to all mucous membranes (great for external skin health and internal digestive tract health). Recent animal studies show that it has prebiotic effects as well, leading to an increased production of helpful short-chain fatty acids in the colon, a reduction of detrimental bacteria in the gut, and improvements in overall gut health and immunity.
MENTAL & EMOTIONAL HEALTH
​
Sea moss is jam-packed full of potassium. The cells of the body cannot function without potassium, though strangely our bodies do not have a mechanism to conserve potassium. Adding high-potassium foods like sea moss to the diet can significantly improve behaviour and mental functioning. High potassium foods are also very helpful for fibromyalgia, moodiness, agitation, depression and anxiety disorders. Irish moss is also an excellent source of a range of B vitamins, which are well known for supporting the nervous system and reducing stress.
IMMUNE SUPPORT
​
Sea moss helps relieve and prevent symptoms of colds and flu – how perfect for the cold and flu season, but also for year-round immunity. Irish moss is a source of potassium chloride, a nutrient which helps to dissolve inflammation and phlegm in the mucous membranes which cause congestion. It contains compounds which act as a natural antimicrobial and antiviral agents, helping to boost immunity and get rid of any infections.
Cold, flu-like, and other coughy-mucousy conditions the moss helps with include:
-
Sore throat
-
Bronchitis
-
Chest coughs
HEALTHY HAIR
​
Known for its ability to soothe the scalp, condition the hair, enhance shine, and fortify the hair fibers, Irish sea moss is gentle enough for your skin and strong enough to strengthen the hair. It is often used as an emulsifier in hair products, a metabolism booster in dietary supplements, and for resolving bladder issues.
