There always seems to be an endless stream of Social Media Wellness Trends — a ‘sea’ of tips and recommendations to better your life and health. While some are well-intentioned, many of these trends may not always be for the better.  One, new wellness trend that is making serious waves is Sea Moss.  So, what is Sea Moss??

Sea Moss, also known as Irish Moss, or Red Seaweed; is a type of Seaweed that grows year-round in tidepools and inlets.  It can also be found along the coastlines of Europe, North America and the British Isles.  Additionally, Sea Moss is a Vegan, Gluten-Free Source of many nutrients---including Vitamin B2, Calcium, Magnesium & Zinc.

Sea Moss Benefits:

May Support Thyroid Health ~ Our Thyroid Gland is responsible for releasing hormones to help govern our growth, energy, reproduction, and repair. In order to do this, the thyroid needs a number of nutrients; one of which is Iodine, and another the amino acid, tyrosine. Both of these nutrients are found in seaweed--although in variable levels depending on the variety and how it’s stored and prepared.

 

May Support Gut Health ~ Seaweed is rich in dietary fiber, much of which is in the form of polysaccharides~~ a fiber we can’t digest; but the bacteria in our gut can – in this way it acts as a prebiotic, or food source for these beneficial gut microbes.

 

Fueling the gut bacteria in this way helps create a favorable environment promoting the microbes which offer us the greatest benefits. It’s these gut bacteria which, among other things; help shape our health through their production of beneficial compounds called Short Chain Fatty Acids. 

 

May Support Immunity ~ The harsh conditions of the coastal waters in which seaweed, like Sea Moss, have evolved to survive has meant they’ve developed an enviable defense mechanism. As such, they are rich in phytochemicals which, when consumed, provide health benefits—including Immune Modulation, and improved Immune Response for the Consumer.

 

May Improve Blood Sugar Control ~ Studies suggest that including seaweed as part of a healthy, balanced diet may support blood sugar management and potentially reduce the risk of Type 2 Diabetes   This is thanks---partly, to compounds like the Carotenoid; and Fucoxanthin, which helps to reduce insulin resistance and support better blood sugar control. The high fiber content in seaweed also plays its part in helping slow the speed of digestion.

May Support Heart Health ~ Seaweed, including Sea Moss, is one of the best plant sources of Omega-3 Fatty Acids, which are essential for health, and especially for the Heart and Cardiovascular System. Studies suggest that seaweed may improve cholesterol balance and act as a Blood Thinner, reducing the risk of heart disease.  It’s worth noting that although some studies examine the effects of Sea Moss, many use alternative species of seaweed.

Therefore, more research is needed to clarify our understanding of the specific health effects of sea moss in the human diet.
