Sea Moss
What is Sea Moss?
Sea moss, also known as Irish Moss, is a red sea algae that is grown on the Atlantic coastlines of the Caribbean, North America, and Europe. It grows along the rocky shores of these coasts. That’s why often times when buying raw sea moss you will have rocks and sand to clean from it.
Sea moss that is grown along the shores is considered to be wildcrafted. You may hear some ppl warning to be aware of fake sea moss. What they’re referring to is sea moss that is grown in a pool instead of an ocean. At Glow’d Essentials we use wildcrafted Sea Moss from Saint Lucia.
Sea moss has 92 of the 102 minerals that our bodies and carry. With that being said, the benefits of sea moss are grand. Some benefits when ingested are: boost in immune health, increase in energy levels, decrease in mucus, digestive system support, nourishment of hair and skin, strengthening of joints, boost in metabolism (which leads to weight loss), decrease eczema, and combat of flu systems. With 1-2 tablespoons of sea moss a day, the benefits are vast.
