Seamoss Subscriptions

• Irish moss, scientifically known as Chondrus crispus, grows in colder, temperate waters of the North Atlantic. It has a flat, fan-like shape and typically exhibits darker colors like deep red, dark purple, or green.
• Sea moss, or Genus Gracilaria, grows in warmer regions and has a thin, finger-like appearance. It's more commonly found in shades like gold, yellow, or purple. While botanically they are the same (Chondrus crispus), they have different environmental growing conditions which can affect their nutrient composition

Sea moss contains 92 of the 102 minerals and vitamins that our bodies need, including iodine, zinc, calcium, potassium, sulfur, iron, selenium, and silica. It is also rich in vitamins A, E, F, and K

A common guideline is no more than two tablespoons of sea moss gel per day​​.
