It is a naturally abundant supply of iodine, a vitamin essential for thyroid health, just like other sea vegetables. It has the highest concentration of calcium on earth.  It is considered a healthy diet for humans as it contains almost all 92 minerals that are vital for the strengthening of our immune system. It has been said that sea moss is a great digestive aid due to its therapeutic effects on the body's mucous membranes. This plant's inherent qualities aid in the treatment of aphrodisiac disease, blood pressure reduction, the alleviation of cough and sore throat symptoms, immune system stimulation and thyroid function enhancement.

What is the difference between gold and purple sea moss?

Both Gold and Purple sea mosses are almost the same. The sea moss that is left to dry for a longer period, turns gold. And the sea moss that is dried for lesser time period turns purple. Gold sea moss is high in phytonutrients that aid in cellular communication, while Purple sea moss is high in antioxidants that fight free radicals in the body.

What is Pool Grown Sea Moss and Ocean-farmed sea moss?

Pool Grown Sea moss lacks nutrition and flourishes on ropes in unnatural waters. The ropes are also used to grow Ocean-farmed sea moss which deprives it from essential nutrients. It grows in the natural environment of the sea, often close to the shore and traffic which makes the water prone to contamination.
