3 Myths About Sea Moss

Sea moss might not be as prevalent in the west as it is in other parts of the world, but that doesn't mean that people don't have misconceptions about what it is.

Take, for instance, the common misconception that sea moss is dangerous to consume. We'll explore the truth behind these myths in this article and find out what sea moss really is. Irish moss is a type of curly leafed, red algae that grows in shallow waters along the coastlines of the Atlantic Ocean. 

Sea moss, also a red algae, is light and stringy, and grows mostly in the warmer waters of the southern Atlantic, Pacific and Caribbean seas. Both  have been harvested for centuries by people living in coastal areas and used as a traditional remedy for a variety of ailments. In recent years, sea moss has gained popularity as a health food and natural remedy due to its high nutrient content. It is rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that can boost your health in various ways.

Despite its many potential health benefits, some myths about sea moss need to be debunked. This article will set the record straight about this superfood so that you can make an informed decision about whether or not it’s right for you. Sea moss is often touted as a superfood due to its high nutrient content. However, there are several myths about sea moss that make people question its nutritional value. Let's look at the top 3 myths about sea moss and see if they hold any truth.

Myth 1: Sea Moss Has 92 Out Of 102 Minerals

Ironically enough, many people believe that sea moss naturally has 92 minerals out of the body's 102. As awesome as the numbers are, these numbers are oddly enough not exactly accurate. Scientifically, even though sea moss is extremely rich in minerals and contains alginate, a compound that has been shown to have numerous health benefits, sea moss is based on several different aspects: location, environment, and even growing period. 

Essentially, the human body needs about 18 nutritional elements for life. Sea moss contains about 13 of them. The amount of these elements contained in sea moss and other seaweeds will vary depending on species, location and environment. Sea moss would scientifically vary from plant to plant in how many minerals it has based on those aspects.

Myth 2: Sea Moss Is A Weed

Sea Moss is not so much a weed. It's an algae that grows in the ocean, which have the general name of 'seaweed'. There’s a massive difference between weed and seaweed; you can’t smoke seaweed like how you would smoke weed (also, please do not smoke sea moss).

Sea moss may not be good to smoke, but sea moss is good for those who do smoke. It is especially good for those who suffer from large amounts of mucus and phlegm in their body, difficulty breathing and reduced airflow, and even a sore throat.

People have been harvesting it for centuries for various dishes and as a natural remedy. The misconception that sea moss is a weed likely comes from its the common name and it grows wild. However, sea moss is not a plant that you would find in your backyard or garden. It's a wild seaweed that only grows in salt water.

Myth 3: Sea Moss Will Make You Sick

Some people believe that sea moss is that it will make you sick. This is simply not true. There are no known side effects of taking sea moss (at a regular dose or pace), and it is actually considered to be very healthy food.

You can get an upset stomach,  if you take too much sea moss at once. Since sea moss in gel form is easy to swallow, and the main requirement is 1-2 tablespoons a day, you can take one in the morning and the other at night. In fact, many people found that sea moss can help to improve your overall health and well-being if taken correctly.

If you take it directly from the jar, it's good to drink water with it.

In conclusion, I hope you now have a better understanding of sea moss and its many benefits. This superfood is packed with nutrients that can help improve your health in a variety of ways, so if you're looking for an easy way to boost your health, consider adding sea moss to your diet.

  • My name is Hailey Garcia and I am from New Jersey. My herpes virus turned to war after 2 years of living with it. I have tried different medical procedures to cure my herpes but to no avail. Most people think herpes is only a minor skin irritation of which herpes has long term effects on health and passes through the bloodstream and can be easily contracted through sexual intercourse. I knew I had herpes from the first day I started feeling itchy in my pubic area and the pain was very unbearable. I couldn’t stand it anymore. After 2 years of trying other means to get rid of it, I had to contact Doctor Odunga to help me with a permanent cure. I saw his email and whats-app number from a testimony I read online from a lady who was also helped by him in curing infertility problems, I had faith and contacted him. He assured me of his work and I ordered his herbal medicine. Within 5 days, I didn’t feel any pain anymore and within 2 weeks, my skin was all cleared and smooth. I am very grateful to you sir and I write this testimony as others have done to bring those having faith to you sir. If you have herpes or other similar disease and you want it cured, kindly contact Doctor Odunga, Whats-App (wa.me/+2348167159012) OR Email odungaspelltemple@gmail.com

    I want to give thanks to Dr Gerald for bringing back my ex husband. No one could have ever made me believe that the article I’m about to write would actually one day be written. I was the world’s biggest skeptic. I never believed in magic spells or anything like this, but I was told by a reliable source (a very close co-worker) that Dr Gerald is a very dedicated, gifted, and talented person, It was one of the best things I have ever done. My love life was in shambles, I had been through two divorces and was on the brink of a third. I just couldn’t face another divorce, and I wanted to try harder to make our relationship work, but my husband didn’t seem to care. and he broke up with me again. I was confused and do not know what to do again, rather them to get in contact with Dr Gerald. He did a love spell that made my husband come back to me. We are now very much happy with ourselves. Dr Gerald makes him realize how much we love and need each other. This man is for REAL and for good, he can also help you to fix your broken relationship. I had my husband back! It was like a miracle! He suddenly wanted to go to marriage counseling, and we’re doing very, very well, in our love life. Contact
