In the 1840’s, during Ireland’s potato famine, Sea moss was used and earned its most common name “Irish moss.”

WHAT IS THE SUGGESTED DAILY DOSE OF SEA MOSS?
As a dietary supplement, it’s ideal to take 1-2 tablespoons daily, for best results & benefits. Remember not to over consume thinking you will reap the benefits sooner or faster with sea moss just like any vitamin or mineral supplement too much can cause an overdose & you can get adverse effect. Sea moss does contain iodine.
The recommended daily intake of iodine can vary depending on age, sex, and life stage. Here are the general guidelines for daily iodine intake as set by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Institute of Medicine (now known as the National Academy of Medicine) in the United States:
• Infants (0-6 months): 110-130 micrograms (mcg) per day
• Infants (7-12 months): 130 mcg per day
• Children (1-8 years): 90-120 mcg per day
• Children (9-13 years): 120-150 mcg per day
• Adolescents (14-18 years): 150 mcg per day
• Adults: 150 mcg per day
• Pregnant women: 220-250 mcg per day
• Breastfeeding women: 250-290 mcg per day
These recommended daily allowances are designed to prevent iodine deficiency, which can lead to thyroid problems and developmental issues, especially in infants and children.
It’s worth noting that in some regions, dietary iodine intake might be higher due to iodized salt and seafood consumption, while in others, it may be lower. In cases of severe iodine deficiency or specific medical conditions, healthcare professionals may recommend higher doses of iodine as a treatment.
However, excessive iodine intake can also have adverse effects and lead to thyroid dysfunction. The upper limit for daily iodine intake is generally considered to be around 1,100 mcg for adults.
If you have concerns about your iodine intake or if you’re considering iodine supplementation, it’s essential to consult with a healthcare provider who can assess your individual needs and provide personalized guidance. Taking too much iodine in supplement form without medical supervision can be harmful.
HOW TO USE SEA MOSS GEL?

Sea Moss is a natural source of carrageenan (food thickening agent), which can be found in foods like; cakes & muffins, vegan nut cheeses, salad dressings, non-dairy milks, ice cream, soups & stews, and smoothies. Customers usually take Sea Moss by itself, followed by their favorite juice as a dietary supplement. Sea moss gel can be added to shakes, smoothies, stews, soups, teas, etc. Sea moss can also be applied directly to the skin & hair when diluted with warm water Or used as a vegan egg substitute when baking.
WHAT DOE SEA MOSS GEL TASTE LIKE?
Our sea moss gel is unique, nearly tasteless in comparison with other sea moss brands that can have a harsh salty or ocean flavor. We pride ourselves in the quality of our sea moss, and its ability to be mixed & blended in smoothies or shakes, without affecting the flavor. We use limes during our soaking process which help alkaline the batch and subside the sea like odor. In other words its pretty tasteless.
ARE THE SEA MOSS GELS FLAVORED?
NO, we do not add any type of flavoring, coloring, dyes, preservative, sugars, sweetners, etc. which would dilute & defeat the purpose of our brand which is providing you 100% of your daily dose of all natural organic sea moss Undiluted we do not water down or stretch out our sea moss for profits like other brands.
WHY DOES MY SEA MOSS HAVE CLUMPS IN IT?
This can happen during our blending stages if for some reason the sea moss expanded out of the spring water while soaking overnight making the sea moss hard/dry. When its time to blend it it needed extra time & was most likely missed on our end While we were pouring it. However, completely normal but we do apologize if you felt a mini worm like piece don’t worry it is just a strand of sea moss. The sea moss will work & is still effective.
CAN YOU USE SEA MOSS AS A FACE MASK?
Absolutely! Sea moss tightens the skin helping elasticity, minimize pores, while it also absorbs all the minerals sea moss has to offer moisturizing the skin. You can take a tablespoon or quarter size of Sea Moss gel, add to some warm water to dilute it 1/4 cup, mix or shake it then spread a light layer onto your face and/or neck. Let sit for 15 - 20 mins or until it hardens. You’ll start to feel you skin get a little tight, then rinse off will cool water and pat dry. IF you feel it didn’t work or you didn’t feel it tighten up as much as you would like you can ad the sea moss gel directly onto the skin without diluting it. If redness, swelling or rash occurs- discontinue & consult your doctor.
