The Benefits of Sea Moss

What sea moss actually is

Irish moss is a type of nutrient-dense algae, found on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. Sea moss gel looks similar to carrageenan, which is a thick jelly-like substance used as a vegan food emulsifier. However, instead of being chemically processed, sea moss is 100% natural and packed full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

In recent years, sea moss has gained rapid popularity as it's rich in micronutrients and trace minerals that are often difficult to supplement in a regular diet. Since it's a natural food product, sea moss is easily absorbed by the body.

The benefits

Sea moss is a potent superfood that can be taken as a supplement or incorporated into smoothies and recipes. Since sea moss is a mucilaginous food, it operates as a smoothing agent within the body, enhancing the health of mucus membranes that control gut and respiratory health. Additionally, it has prebiotic effects which aid in colon health and microbiota balance within the microbiome.

Since sea moss is rich in Omega-3s, it may support heart health and common health concerns that come with aging. Its robust concentration of iodine and fucoxanthin may help support thyroid health and stable blood sugar levels. Sea moss users also report more energy throughout the day, decreased fatigue, better skin, and a healthy sex drive.

While the research around sea moss is still being explored, there are notable studies around the complex vitamins and minerals found in this organic superfood. Most people today are living with nutrient deficiencies they are unaware of, which is why sea moss can be a wonderful investment in your health.

Why we put it in a can

Sea moss gel is worth the effort, but it asks something of you — a spoon, a blender, a bit of planning. Not everyone keeps that up.

Every can of Da Bomb Sea Moss Coconut Water carries 3,300mg of wildcrafted sea moss in 11.1 fl oz of coconut water. Not from concentrate, no added sugar, vegan. It is the same thing you would spoon out of a jar, already mixed into something you would want to drink cold.

Other ways people take it

There are multiple forms of sea moss, the most common being sea moss capsules and sea moss gel. If you opt for a supplement, all you have to do is take the recommended dose every day with a glass of water. If you enjoy the flavored or unflavored gels, you have more flexibility to get creative — blend it into a morning smoothie, use it to thicken broths and soups, add it to homemade ice cream as a binding agent, or stir it into applesauce or pudding.

Some avid sea moss users decide to eat it straight from the spoon. At the end of the day, it all depends on your preferences.
