Why is Sea Moss beneficial?
Internal Benefits: Click on each benefit to read more.
Sea Moss provides year round immunity support. Sea Moss contains a substance called fucoxanthin, which is a pigment found in seaweeds and can act as an anti-oxidant.
Sea Moss acts as a prebiotic in our gut, which is a type of dietary fibre that feeds probiotics (healthy gut bacteria) which results in heightened immunity and helps to further support digestive health.
Iron is the human spark plug. Iron is a mineral that helps our body create red blood cells which carries oxygen from our lungs to the brain. When you are iron deficient, the body loses energy and the immune system starts to deflate.
Sea Moss can help to boost energy levels naturally. It contains concentration levels of both iron and iodine, which will rev up energy, combat fatigue, exhaustion and relieves muscle tension and joint pain.
Sea Moss is a low calorie food. It has the ability to absorb fluid more than its own volume. The fibre content provides a feeling of fullness.
Citruline-arginine is present which is a compound that stimulates the metabolism.
Sea Moss has a mild laxative effect which can help with constipation and aids in processing waste through the body accelerating weight loss.
Sea Moss is a rich, natural source of Iodine. Iodine supports optimal thyroid function which helps to retain a healthy heart.
Without the right amount of Iodine in our body, the thyroid may not function properly and could cause metabolic issues.
Sea Moss contains Folic acid, Magnesium, Potassium and Omega 3 Fatty Acid. These crucial ingredients will aid in blood flow and circulation, resulting in a healthy functioning body overall.
Rich in Calcium, Sea Moss helps build strong bones and prevents conditions like arthritis and osteoporosis.
Sea Moss is a magnesium power-house which helps with calcium absorption. Each 100gms of Sea Moss contains 6 mgs of protein. Taurine, which is commonly known for burning body fat as well as building muscles, is also present. This amino acid comes in handy while doing cardio.
When you are dealing with cold and flu symptoms, Sea Moss can be very helpful as it is a natural decongestant, while dissolving annoying phlegm in clogged airways. Because it is a mucilaginous (sticky and thick) food, it helps to get rid of any excess mucus while soothing the mucus membranes.
Rich in potassium, this vital nutrient is great for cognitive function and boosting your mood levels.
When we are low in potassium we might feel more agitated than usual. Adding Sea Moss to your diet, can relieve numerous symptoms of anger, irritability, depression, fibromyalgia and anxiety disorders.
Sea Moss has anti-inflammatory properties which help the body recover quickly after an extensive workout session. This works by the collagen proteins present in Sea Moss, which are known for repairing and strengthening your connective tissue.
Whether you are a professional athlete, fitness fanatic or performing any type of heavy lifting at home or work, Sea Moss can help replace the minerals that you deplete your body of while performing these activities.
Sea Moss is a natural aphrodisiac.
Sea Moss can help in sperm production, due to the Zinc present in the plant. And in some claims, also help with the issue of fertility.
A healthy reproductive system is another benefit of eating Sea Moss. With a good amount of zinc, added with its naturally faster absorption, healthy libido and stimulation can be achieved. It also improves blood circulation through the body which eventually improves stamina.
