First, let s start with why is sea moss good for you and what healing effects it has on your body and why it is a new SUPER FOOD, and the ultimate supplement you should include in your diet.
Sea moss, also known as Irish moss, is a type of red algae with extremely high nutrient and mineral content. It is a rich source of iodine, which is important for thyroid function and can help your body to regulate metabolism.
It also contains high levels of calcium, magnesium, potassium, and zinc just to name a few. Sea moss is also high in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, which can help support the immune system and may have anti-cancer properties.
Additionally, it is a natural source of vegetarian collagen and may help improve skin, hair, and nails health. Sea moss can be consumed in supplement form as the one we offer on our website (You can now use code: PURE20 to receive 20% off at the checkout).
Sea Moss in Capsules Over Gel
Sea moss capsules contain all the nutrients your body needs, consuming only 2 capsules daily is the recommended dosage. They can be taken 1-2 times a day and have all the health benefits.
Sea moss gel can be applied to heal and soothe skin and sea moss capsules have a few additional benefits such as;
1. Easy to consume
Capsules are way easier to consume and measured accurately so that you know how much you are eating a day. Capsules don't have any smell or taste which is a great advantage as let's face it sea moss gel is not to everyone's liking.
2. Always with you on the go
With sea moss gel it is important to know that it only stays fresh for 2-3 weeks and then it goes bad and loses its nutritional values whereas the capsules are long-lasting essence of sea moss and can travel with you in all kinds of conditions, hot or cold and will remain the same.
3. Easy to share
Let's be honest, once you feel the benefits of sea moss you'll be tempted to share with your friends, family, or partner. You can easily share capsules without any mess or worry that they will go bad.
3. 100 % Sea moss
Sea moss gel is often diluted with water and combined with other substances to make it tastier like ginger, mango, pineapple etc. If you choose to buy sea moss gel, make sure you search for the highest quality sea moss.
However, sometimes you can find sea moss capsules combined with other herbs and mixes which reduce sea moss content, and with that the its strong healing benefits.
When looking for sea moss no matter if its in a gel or capsule form , always look for 100% sea moss supplement with minimal additional ingredients.
It is always a good idea to check the ingredients of the capsules and consult with a healthcare professional before making any changes to your diet.

St Lucia's Sea Moss over other Sea Moss
Sea moss grows in the coastal regions of the Atlantic Ocean, including St. Lucia and Ireland. While both types of sea moss may have similar nutritional properties, there are a few factors that may make sea moss from St. Lucia superior to Irish sea moss:
Location
The location and the environmental conditions of the ocean where the sea moss is harvested can influence its nutritional profile and quality. For example, sea moss from the East part of the St. Lucia Island , is of the best quality and also, may be exposed to more sunlight, which can increase its iodine content.
Post Volcanic Waters
Additionally, ocean water that has been affected by volcanic activity can contain high levels of minerals and nutrients such as sulfur, potassium, and magnesium, which can be beneficial for the growth of sea moss. Volcanic ash and lava could also provide a substrate for sea moss to attach itself and grow.
Harvesting method
The way sea moss is harvested can also affect its quality. In St. Lucia, sea moss is typically hand-harvested from the rocks, which can reduce the risk of contamination and damage to the plants.
Processing
The way sea moss is processed can also affect its quality. In St. Lucia, sea moss is traditionally sun-dried and hand-cleaned, which can help to preserve its natural nutrients and enzymes.
It is important to note that not all sea moss from St. Lucia or Ireland is the same, and many factors can affect its quality such as the method of cultivation, the quality of the water, and the post-harvesting process.
Price Difference - St. Lucian over Irish Moss
Sea moss from St. Lucia may be more expensive than Irish moss for a few reasons:
Location
Sea moss from St. Lucia is harvested in the Caribbean Sea, which is farther away from the major markets where it is sold. This increased distance results in higher transportation costs, which are passed on to the consumer.
Quality
Sea moss from St. Lucia is known for its high quality and purity. It is often wild-crafted and sustainably harvested, which can be more expensive than farming or harvesting methods used for Irish moss.
Popularity
St. Lucia sea moss is becoming more popular due to its high mineral content and the quality of the product, and the demand for it is increasing, which can also lead to higher prices.
Limited supply
St. Lucia sea moss is not as widely available as Irish moss due to the limited supply of this product, which drives up the price.
It is worth noting that the prices can vary depending on the source of the sea moss, and the quality of the product. It is always good to check with the supplier and read the reviews of the product before buying.
Why should you invest in a glass stored supplements?
Another very valid reason to buy quality supplements is that they usually are stored in a glass. Keeping supplements in glass bottles, ESPECIALLY dark colored ones can be beneficial for your health for a few very important reasons:
Glass is a more inert material than plastic, which means it is less likely to react with the contents of the bottle and potentially alter its quality, this ESPECIALLY applies to sea moss.
2. Dark blass bottles provide better protection from light and air, which can degrade the potency of the supplements over time.
3. Glass bottles can be easily washed and sanitized, reducing the risk of contamination.
4. Many supplements are sensitive to temperature, and glass bottles are better insulation than plastic bottles, which can help to keep the contents at a stable temperature.
5. Glass bottles are also more environmentally friendly, as they can be recycled whereas plastic bottles can only be downcycled.you can separate them from the other ones on the shelf through
Summary

These minerals play an important role in maintaining overall health and well-being while supporting your hormonal system and thyroid functioning.
It is good to remeber that good quality sea moss is sourced from clean waters and is free from contaminants and usually supports sustainable harvesting methods and practices, which are better for the environment and St. Lucia's local people.
