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:

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.
