Prof. Graham Pierce, Ph.D.Sea moss offers essential nutrients that your body needs daily. This Atlantic seaweed has natural iodine for thyroid function and zinc for immune support. Its prebiotic fibers support digestion while minerals like potassium regulate blood pressure. I've recommended it to clients looking for whole food nutrition.
The sea moss contains natural iodine, which gives support to the thyroid system. This mineral helps with the production of hormones necessary to maintain metabolic equilibrium. Sufficient iodine has been shown through clinical evidence to exhibit symptoms of deficiency. I also use them with Brazil nuts, which contain selenium that has an effective influence on the activity of thyroid enzymes.
Immune System Boost
- Zinc increases white blood cell production
- Carrageenan blocks viral attachment to cells
- Antioxidants reduce oxidative stress damage
- Vitamin C enhances iron absorption
Digestive Support
- Prebiotic fibers feed beneficial gut bacteria
- Gel texture soothes intestinal lining
- Reduces bloating and digestive discomfort
- Improves nutrient absorption efficiency
Cardiovascular Protection
- Potassium balances sodium levels
- Omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation
- Lowers LDL cholesterol oxidation
- Improves circulation naturally
To achieve the best results, properly use sea moss. Two tablespoons of gel or four dried grams daily is the maximum usage rate. Use sea moss in smoothies first thing in the morning, preferably with sources of vitamin C. Stay within limits to avoid an overabundance of iodine. I teach clients to measure their servings with scales in the kitchen.
Source sea moss responsibly to ensure its safety and sustainability. Choose brands that offer third-party testing for contaminants, including arsenic and others. Sea moss sourced from the Atlantic is the best source for reliable mineral profiles. I personally trust brands that share batch-specific lab reports. This ensures purity and ethical practices in harvesting.
