Sea Moss & Algae

Sea moss has been harvested from Atlantic and Caribbean coastlines for centuries. In Ireland and Jamaica, it was a staple food prized for its dense mineral content. It gained new attention in recent years, but the nutritional case for sea moss benefits goes back long before that.

Irish sea moss (Chondrus crispus) is a red algae containing iodine, potassium, magnesium, zinc, and a range of trace minerals in their natural food matrix. When hydrated, it forms a mucilaginous gel rich in prebiotic fibre. This gel has traditionally supported digestive comfort and respiratory health. The iodine content is worth noting specifically. Adequate iodine is needed for the thyroid to produce hormones, and many Australians fall short of recommended daily intakes.

Research into sea moss benefits is building steadily. Early studies suggest its prebiotic fibre may support gut microbiome diversity, and its mineral profile provides raw materials for several key body systems. Traditional Jamaican and West African use centred on sea moss as a strengthening food during recovery and for sustained energy.

People managing thyroid health through diet, those wanting mineral support from whole-food sources, and anyone interested in Atlantic nutritional traditions commonly take a sea moss supplement. Irish sea moss capsules are the most practical format for daily use, removing the need to prepare or taste raw gel.
