Products & Ingredients
- What is sea moss? Sea moss (Chondrus crispus and related species) is an edible red algae harvested from clean ocean water. It’s sold here as raw (dried) sea moss and finely milled sea moss powder.
- What’s the difference between raw sea moss and sea moss powder? Raw sea moss is dried whole or in pieces; powder is dried sea moss milled to a fine powder for easier blending, baking, or capsules. Powder dissolves/blends faster; raw requires rehydration and rinsing.
- What exactly is in your product? 100% sea moss (no fillers, preservatives, or additives) — unless a flavored or blended product is clearly labeled. Check product pages for any added ingredients.
Sourcing & Quality
- Where do you source your sea moss? We source from [region — e.g., Atlantic coast/Caribbean — customize], working with vetted harvesters who follow sustainable harvesting practices. (If you want specific source names/locations, tell me and I’ll include them.)
- Do you test for contaminants? Yes — products are batch-tested for heavy metals, microbiological contaminants, and moisture. Certificates of analysis (COAs) are available on request or linked on the product page.
- Is your sea moss organic? Seaweed grows in the ocean and cannot always carry traditional “organic” certification. If a product is certified organic, it will be clearly labeled. We follow best-practice harvesting and processing standards.
Preparation & Use
- How do I prepare raw dried sea moss? 1. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water to remove sand/debris. 2. Soak in cold water for 4–24 hours until fully rehydrated and plump. 3. Rinse again, trim any discolored parts. 4. Blend with water to make a gel (store refrigerated up to 2–3 weeks) or use rehydrated pieces in recipes.
- How do I use sea moss powder? Stir or blend 1–2 teaspoons into smoothies, soups, sauces, tea, or baked goods. Start small and adjust to desired texture/taste.
- What is the typical dosage? Common use ranges from 1/2 to 2 teaspoons daily (powder) or 1–2 tablespoons of gel. Start low and see how your body responds. Consult a healthcare professional if you have health concerns or are pregnant/nursing.
Benefits & Claims
- What health benefits does sea moss provide? Sea moss contains naturally occurring minerals and polysaccharides found in seaweed. We do not make medicinal claims. For information on nutritional content, see the nutrition facts on each product page and consult qualified health professionals for medical advice.
Allergies & Safety
- Is sea moss safe for everyone? Most people tolerate sea moss well. If you have thyroid disease, are on blood thinners, have seafood/seaweed allergies, are pregnant or nursing, or have a chronic condition, consult your healthcare provider before using sea moss.
- Could sea moss contain heavy metals or contaminants? Seaweed can accumulate elements from the ocean. That’s why we perform third-party testing and control sourcing. COAs are available for transparency.
Storage & Shelf Life
- How should I store sea moss powder and raw dried sea moss? Store both in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep powder in an airtight container. Refrigerate sea moss gel and use within 2–3 weeks; freeze for longer storage (up to several months).
- What is the shelf life? Dried raw sea moss: typically 12–24 months if stored properly. Powder: typically 12–18 months. Check the product’s stamped expiration or best-by date.
