Sea Moss!

The popularity of Sea Moss has surged recently due to its impressive nutritional content, which includes over 90 essential minerals and trace elements. We sat down with Gina Scott from Sunflower Health Foods in Gainesville, FL to talk about Sea Moss. We Asked. She answered. See our interview below.

What Exactly is Sea Moss?

Sea moss, which is also called Irish sea moss, is a species of red algae that grows in the Atlantic Ocean along the coasts of the Caribbean islands, North America, and Europe. It's been used in various culinary and wellness applications, being a great nutrient rich superfood for vegans and plant based diets. Sea moss has an abundance of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, including iodine, potassium, magnesium, vitamins A, C, E. Many claim it helps to support a healthy immune function, digestion, skin health, and energy levels.

Every day more and more people are becoming health aware, and I believe social media is a huge factor in this. It's really cool to see and hear customers coming in looking for something they either heard from a friend or have heard online and wanting to learn more about it. Sea moss has been one of many trends for people seeking to start their health journey or add into their daily routine.

Sea moss has a rich mucilage content, which speaks to its gelatinous consistency and makes a lot of sense to why it is showing up in skincare products. This demonstrates its ability to moisturize the skin, providing hydration and a smoother complexion. The mineral content, such as sulfur and magnesium, can tend to skin conditions like acne. While its antioxidant content can help protect the skin from oxidative stress and to potentially reduce signs of aging. Some say that it may stimulate collagen production to maintain skin elasticity and prevent wrinkles.

Final Thoughts?

I believe that Irish sea moss can be beneficial to implement in our lives for overall health and also in our skin care routines. It's definitely worth trying it out and seeing if it's something that works for you.
