Benefits of Sea Moss

Now you may be thinking: “Premium Organic Irish Sea Moss? Hold up…what do the Irish know about the hood?” Well let us hit you with a little knowledge.

Irish Moss is one of the best natural products known to help regulate blood sugar. The African-American community is known to be predisposed to diabetes and high blood sugar. So Hood’n’Healthy is absolutely looking out for our brothers and sisters.

So what can Irish Sea Moss do for you? Well, it has a high micronutrient content, and its carrageenan, which a natural food thickener, grant it many culinary applications. 

Here are a few health benefits of sea moss:

• Blood Sugar Management. Irish Sea Moss contains a compound called fucoxanthin which has been shown to reduce blood sugar. Another study found that another compound in seaweed called alginate prevented blood sugar spikes in pigs.

• Improved Thyroid Health. Seaweeds are rich in iodine, a micronutrient necessary for healthy thyroid function.

• Fight Cancer. Fucoxanthin and other carotenoids found in Irish moss act as antioxidants, which fight off free radicals in the body. Uncontrolled free radicals can pose a danger to cells, causing them to grow in dangerous ways and ultimately becoming cancerous.

• Weight Loss. Seaweeds and microalgae are rich in fiber that help you feel full and regulate your appetite. In addition, studies have shown that fucoxanthin promoted fat metabolism in rats.

• Boosted Immune System. One study in salmon found that supplemental seaweed improved both immune modulation and immune response. A similar study in humans is in the works.
