HOW LONG DOES SEA MOSS LAST?

Dried Sea Moss has a shelf life of approximately one year when stored in a cool, dry and dark space. Sea Moss Gel should be made or purchased in small batches, as it is best when used within three weeks. It must be kept sealed and refrigerated. Please also use care to avoid cross contamination.

Please note: Sea Moss Gel has been known to vary in spoilage and is not intended to be stored but rather to be consumed. Signs of spoilage include an odd pungent aroma or taste, slimy coating on top layer and/or mold. If you find mold or suspect spoilage please discontinue use and reach out immediately.

CAN YOU FREEZE SEA MOSS?

Yes, freezing your Sea Moss Gel can dramatically extended the shelf life from 3 weeks to 3 months. If you have a lot of Sea Moss Gel and are worried about it going bad, we recommend scooping it into ice cube trays and freezing it.

Sea Moss ice cubes are so convenient and easy to add to your smoothies, soups or porridge. You can even rub them on your face in the mornings to help reduce puffiness, shrink pores and brighten your skin.

WHAT IS THE RECOMMENDED DOSAGE? IS IT THE SAME FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN?

Sea Moss is an all natural, healthy and safe product for both adults and children, but as with all things it should be consumed in moderation. We recommend consuming 1-2 tablespoons of Sea Moss Gel per day.

Please note: Before using any supplements, it is always advisable to consult with your own health care provider and/or nutritionist. Individual results may vary, dependent on your health condition, diet and any other supplements or medications that you may be taking.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SEA MOSS AND IRISH MOSS?

Our Sea Moss grows in warm, tropical oceans and has thick, stick-like branches. Irish moss also known as Chondrus Crispus grows in colder, northern oceans and has flat curly leaves. Both are part of the red algae family which makes them very similar in nutritional value.

WHAT DOES SEA MOSS TASTE LIKE?

Sea Moss itself does not have a taste. We wash our Sea Moss thoroughly and soak it with key lime when preparing our Sea Moss Gel, which helps to neutralize any of the ocean smell or taste. 

WHICH MINERALS DOES SEA MOSS CONTAIN?

Some of the minerals that Sea Moss contains are Zinc, Iodine, Iron, Calcium, Potassium, B Complex Vitamins, Sodium, Sulphur and Silicon.  It is a great source of dietary fiber, Vitamin K, Copper, Riboflavin, Folate, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Manganese, Protein, Beta Carotene, B Vitamins, Pectin, Taurine (an amino acid usually lacking in vegan and vegetarian diets) and Vitamin C. These are all essential nutrients that you need to support and maintain healthy bodily functions.
