Sea Moss Benefits: Is It Worth The Hype? *What is Sea Moss Used For? How Does Sea Moss Work?*
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- As far as if Sea Moss is a good supplement…scientists are only now beginning to research its medical benefits, meaning there isn’t a lot of good research on its claimed benefits and safety as a supplement. Most of the studies are done in animal or even worm subjects, meaning it’s virtually impossible to suggest the benefits seen in these studies, will be the same benefits if humans take them.

Sea moss is also know as Irish moss or red seaweed growing year round in tide-pools and inlets. Most of the products you see on the market, if it says “Sea Moss” or “Irish Sea Moss” it’s usually the same ingredient.
Carrageenan (aka scientific name for Sea Moss) has been on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) list of generally recognized as safe (GRAS) products since 1959. In 2008, a citizens petition questioned the safety of degraded carrageenan. In April 2012, the FDA re-tested and confirmed carrageenan's GRAS status
The two claims that have the most research is improving symptoms of the common cold and lowering blood sugar and cholesterol.
In a clinical study in patients with symptoms of a common cold and a laboratory-confirmed viral infection, using a specific nasal spray containing sea moss three times daily for 7 days reduced symptom duration by about 2 days when compared with using a saline nasal spray. However, there was no difference in disease duration when all patients were considered, regardless of viral infection status.
As far as it’s blood sugar and cholesterol lowering effects, Sea Moss is a source of dietary fiber, and therefore can reduce gastrointestinal secretions and food absorption, and increase water content of the gut when large amounts are given. So in non-diabetic patients, there has been some positive results for lowering blood sugar and cholesterol levels. However it’s important to note these studies were so so so small, like 10 to 20 individuals, so take those results with a grain of salt
When it comes down to it, I’ve seen better green powder superfoods. So as I’m concerned, there are better supplements and superfoods to be spending your money on than Sea Moss due to its limited scientific research, limited safety data and insufficient nutrition profile compared to other well-researched superfoods and greens powders.
Sea Moss has helped my digestion like nothing else has.
I'm glad you've seen some positive with it.
agreed. even "Dr. Sebi" who popularized it said it himself that he never read any books. I haven't found research on it to confirm the claims. I wanna believe that it is what they claim. until then. ill wait
Thank you for your comment! People have to make their own decisions on it and I just wanted to try to provide an encompassing review of it so people can be informed to make their decision. Thank you again!
Thank you for this information I was looking up information and all I could find was sponsored videos
Of course! Glad you found this video helpful and let me know if you have any questions:)
Thank you Tessa for this informative and unbiased review. You're only making us aware that there's no real scientific studies about all of the "so called" benefits of sea moss and it's safety. Since each individual body is different some may have some good personal results from taking sea moss. However, there is not enough known through research to establish a clear, definite or wider scope of sea moss benefits and total purity of it because of where it naturally grows. Thanks for your honest informational review!
Thank you so much and I'm glad you found this video helpful. A lot of people think I'm completely trashing sea moss, but I'm not. If people want to try it, go ahead! But I do believe people should be informed about their decision beforehand, understand how to supplement with it properly, and be aware that it might not produce the results they are wanting.
Do you know riligion islam
About time somebody has talked about it. It’s had to scroll through any social media and avoid noticing some one promoting it and exaggerating all the magical effects of this scammoss. Some people are gobbling this toxic thing in bucket loads.
I'm glad I could add a bit of science-based claims surrounding Sea Moss. While it might be alkaline, there are more accessible and cheaper options for people!
My dad been jackin sea moss for past 5 years mans in perfect form.
Good for him!
Hi Tessa, I respect your views and opinions on sea moss.
Can you please educate me on where you source all your scientific research/facts on high quality wild crafted sea moss from?
As well as some testimonials from a diversified group of people of the negative effects and any side effects from taking sea moss. That backs up some of your statements and opinions would be much appreciated too.
I have spent the past ten years delving down the rabbit hole of health and well being. I have tried and experimented with different superfoods, supplements, mainstream remedies, herbal remedies, holistic nutrition, animal proteins, plant based proteins, keto meal plans, vegan meal plans, plant based meal plans, and alkaline meal plans.
I have been taking sea moss for the past two years and was mindful of any placebo effects through out the whole process. I am 39 years old and the benefits I have had from taking good quality wild crafted sea moss are unbelievable. The benefits I have attained from taking sea moss are…. Youthful skin, hair and nails. Energy levels are up and the most noticeable benefit is my libido is off the charts. I am more active now than when I was in my teens.
I practice a lot of mindfulness and stay connected to my spiritual body so my results are not biased and I am 100% open to the fact that more studies and scientific research needs to be concluded to educate people of all the health benefits and side effects from consuming sea moss.
I gave my friends and family sea moss to try. One of my friends had high cholesterol and was going to end up on medication for the rest of his life. After a few months of taking sea moss his blood test results came back positive. His specialist was amazed at his results and asked if he was taking cholesterol tablets. A few of my friends who are in their early 30’s late 20’s noticed an improvement in their libido.
I agree with you that there are a lot of companies using fear porn to push their sea moss products and there definitely needs to be some regulations in place to give people more clarity on sea moss products on todays market.
I am not disagreeing with any of your statements or opinions on sea moss or other supplements and superfoods.
You talk a lot about Kale and all the benefits.
Kale and vegetables aren’t cheaper and much more available than sea moss in my country. Vegetables and fruits prices are continuing to rise and we also have a shortage on some local fresh produce due to floods.
Kale is also a hybrid food
kale is actually a genetically modified food meaning it is a man-made plant as it has gone through centuries of selective breeding by farmers to get the modern kale we have today.
some of the popular fruits, nuts, and vegetables we eat today are man-made hybrids
You also talk about getting all the nutrients from whole food veggies . I can’t disagree with you on that but you also have to take into account the demographics and psychographics and whether or not people have access to whole food organic vegetables.
Not all vegetables nuts and legumes are created equal.
Phytates (phytic acid) in whole grains, seeds, legumes, some nuts-can decrease the absorption of iron, zinc, magnesium, and calcium
In my opinion people need to do their own research when it comes to their health, and have a more open minded approach to manifesting a healthy lifestyle.
Thank you Tessa
Hope you have a blessed day
Awesome comment... very informative
First of all I wanted to thank you for your comment. It seems like you are coming from a very genuine place of interest and concern. I'd like to address what you've mentioned in the order you mentioned them. Thank you again for your thoughtful comment!
1. Research I Used
I list my research sources at the bottom of the video description in a clickable link so feel free to start there.
2. Testimonials, "Worked for Me" and "Doing Your Own Research"
When getting testimonials and taking people’s word for it, stories are compelling, and none more than our own. The feeling that a treatment worked can be profound and hard to dismiss with dry researchdata. I hope you can understand where I'm coming from. I try to help people make informed decisions based on clinical data where researchers can partly control the environment where people are taking these superfoods to see if it was in fact the superfood that made a difference or not. We cannot know in any individual case whether or not an intervention worked, because we cannot know what would have happened without the treatment. But, thank you for bringing up an important discussion! I do believe we need more research on these superfoods, and I plan on funding research for sea moss in the future!
3. Alkalizing the body and Sea Mosses "92" essential vitamins and minerals
The biggest claim I see about Sea Moss is that it has 92 essential minerals that we “can’t get from our diet alone.” There are only six essential nutrients, essential meaning our body cannot make them on our own so we have to get them from our diet. These include carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water. These are further broken down to include 13 essential vitamins and 16 essential minerals
And once again all these essential nutrients can be obtained through food like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, etc. You don’t need to supplement with sea moss or anything else to get them.
As far as sea moss’s claims to alkalize our body, Our blood PH can't really be altered that much because our body keeps our blood PH around 7.35 to 7.45 because if we went beyond that, we would be really, really sick and could potentially die.
Overall, yes Sea Moss is high in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, but you can get from food and you don’t need to spend money on sea moss supplements, I'm a big believer in diet first. With that being said, please see section #4.
3. Kale and GMOs
I'll be taking about this only from the perception of a nutrition perspective. Genetic engineering has largely focused on reducing the need for insecticides and herbicides, while boosting farmers’ yields. That sort of modification doesn’t affect the crop’s nutrition. In fact, studies show that genetically modified foods are nutritionally identical to their conventional counterparts. Just as you mentioned not all vegetables, nuts and legumes are created equal, not all GMOs are created equal when it comes to impacting our health. Kale is among the most nutrient-dense foods and the planet and has been associated with numerous health benefits over and over again.
4. Food Insecurity
Thank you for bringing up the concern about how I should take into account the demographics and psychographics and whether or not people have access to plant-based whole foods. This is true and I could be doing a better job at recognize this and including other options for individuals who are food insecure or live in a food dessert.
5. Doing Your Own Research
When most people “research” an issue, what their are actually doing is:
* formulating an initial opinion the first time we hear about something,
* evaluating everything we encounter after that through that lens of our gut instinct,
* finding reasons to think positively about the portions of the narrative that support or justify our initial opinion,
* and finding reasons to discount or otherwise dismiss the portions that detract from it.
Of course, that’s not what most people think they're doing. People think they can see through who’s a fraud, and tell what’s safe and effective from what’s dangerous and ineffective. Even those of us with excellent critical thinking skills and lots of experience trying to dig up the truth behind a variety of claims are lacking one important asset: the scientific expertise necessary to understand any finds or claims in the context of the full state of knowledge of that field. It’s part of why scientific consensus is so remarkably valuable: it only exists when the overwhelming majority of qualified professionals all hold the same consistent professional opinion. It truly is one of the most important and valuable types of expertise that humanity has ever developed.
I'm all for testing things out on yourself and seeing how our bodies react. After all healthcare, nutrition, fitness; I believe these should all be personalized. And that is why I've taken a scientific approach to personalized medicine, nutrition and fitness for my clients and for the people who subscribe to my channel.
Once again, thank you for your comment and opinions, and please respect that these are mine. I hope you continue have many blessings in your life:)
As far as nutritional value sea moss (organic) has 92 minerals in it 102 minerals if adding bladder wrack. If interested in trying Im happy to ship some for you to actually try. I’ve had many ppl try my products n feel cleansed from congestion n as far as sickness n colds I can attest to one of my clients being sick for less than a week of taking the sea moss because of its ability to cleanse the body n replenish it. Also very good for skin and hair growth.
Thank you for the offer, and I'm glad that individual is feeling better. I'm not saying Sea Moss doesn't have some nutritional value, but did when you compare Sea Moss to something simple like Kale, which is much more available, cheaper and doesn't have a risk of contamination, Kale is more beneficial. Sea Moss, based on 1 serving size, has 43 calories, 0.6 grams of fat, no cholesterol, 233 milligrams of sodium, 89 milligrams of potassium, 10 grams of carbohydrate, and 1.7 grams of protein. In terms of vitamins, seaweed has 2% vitamin A, 16% calcium and iron, 5% vitamin C, 30% magnesium, and 0% vitamin D, B-12, and B-6. While Kale’s nutrition facts, which are based on a serving size of one cup (about 67 grams), have 33 calories, 0.6 grams of fat, no cholesterol, 25 milligrams of sodium, 329 milligrams of potassium, 6 grams of carbohydrates, and 2.9 grams of protein. Kale’s vitamin percentages are 133% vitamin A, 10% calcium, 134% vitamin C, 5% iron, 10% vitamin B-6, 7% magnesium, and 0% vitamin D and B-12. In my opinion, there are better vegetables and supplements out there than Sea Moss. I'm not saying Sea Moss has no value, but as of right now, with the current research out there, I wouldn't recommend it to any of my clients. That's not to say that I wouldn't in the future if there is compelling research. I'm sure you've worked very hard on your products, but I caution you against basing health recommendations on a story involving a person whom you know rather than research involving hundreds or thousands of people. I hope you can understand where I'm coming from. Once again, thank you for the offer!
@@ajaytranter2655 I’m glad u know. Sea moss is the greatest thing on earth, don’t believe the propaganda. The FDA is a billion dollar investment pharmaceutical. Why would they approve it when it could mess up their pockets? Sea moss heals everything. Don’t believe anything that says otherwise. Properly sourced
I totally agree. All this time and there still isn’t any good research… to me it’s s because it will mess with big pharmaceutical money
@@natoscheholt6560 yes!
@@TheSuperfoodPharmacist but kale is GMO... I cannot speak for anyone else but since I've been using seamoss, my heavy montly cycles due to fibroids have reduced SIGNIFICANTLY! PAIN?? NOPE... when I use to eat kale and I was stuffing myself with kale and other green smoothies, I still had really painful periods and still had to go for regular iron infusions. My diet isn't the best right now because of just crappy things that have happened and the only thing I've added is seamoss and I haven't had to go get any iron infusions in 6 months, I have a lot of energy and my hair and nails are growing. Diet... not so great...js
Have you tried it? Seamoss
I prefer Chlorella to Sea Moss so that is what I currently use
It really depends on where it is sourced and if it is true sea moss. Some companies will grow it in a pool and market that it came from the ocean. People have been using this for hundreds of years and you can’t argue what it does for them.
That's a great point! And I'm not saying Sea Moss doesn't have some nutritional value, but did when you compare Sea Moss to something simple like Kale, which is much more available, cheaper and doesn't have a risk of contamination, Kale is more beneficial.

I would focus more on getting a wide variety of whole food veggies in your diet than worrying about additional supplementation. As far as people's experiences with it, I'm glad they feel better, but I can't based recommendations on people's stories. Stories are compelling, and none more than our own. The feeling a treatment worked can be profound and hard to dismiss with dry data. I hope you can understand where I'm coming from.

@@Luminous03If you Google mineral content of Sea Moss, it says it has 92 or 99 or 102 minerals in it (this changes depending on which reference you use). Which seams amazing right? However, there are only 13 essential minerals in Sea Moss (meaning the rest of the our body makes those minerals on its own). All of these essential minerals can be obtained in other ways in our diet and don’t require you to get them from an expensive sea moss supplement. Chlorella has 16 essential minerals in it, beating out Sea Moss.
If people want to take sea moss for general well-being and they have the money to buy a pure & safe supplement (which most aren't), then go for it! But what I can't support is when Sea Moss supplement companies use fear mongering and false claims to get people to buy their product and expect Sea Moss to be this magic cure for everything, because it is simply not true. And yes, I do think you need studies to see if Sea Moss is effective against diseases and conditions. Especially when there are better studied and more effective superfoods out there for certain diseases and conditions. I couldn't recommend Sea Moss for a conditions it is understudied in when there are better alternatives out there. I hope you can see where I'm coming from. Blessings:)
the perspective of a pharmacist and herbalist can vary significantly. pharmaceutical research and clinical methodology tends to focus and orient validation around symptoms. other branches of wholistic medicines offer measures of value that isn't obvious to the paradigm of pharmaceutical clinical research. for example the abundance of ways to prevent insulin resistance, liver, kidney or pancreatic damage could never be addressed by pharmaceutical methods. by the time they detect a symptom, they already formulate prescriptions to focus on symptom management and or pain reduction. sea moss and countless other herbal remedies offer centuries of value far beyond schools of pharmacy. Every branch has a role, but to subscribe to pharmaceutical authority as something inherently of higher value is a fallacy in itself. a lot of ailments and suffering can be prevent through healthy nutrition and fasting. sea moss can unquestionably, with all its trace mineral from the sea can add a measures of mineral level content Kale on land could never even reach.
I can 100% agree with you that most pharmaceuticals are reactive and only treat symptoms (although there are some medications that address root causes). I do not subscribe to the idea that pharmaceuticals have a higher value. This is the main reason I quit my traditional job as a pharmacist to pursue functional medicine. I wanted to be apart of a proactive system instead of a reactive one. I believe nutrition, exercise, stress management and superfoods/herbals/supplements are key to prevent and reverse root causes of chronic disease. I can not however, condone using superfoods/herbals/supplements for specific health conditions when there is no research showing the benefits of them, especially when there are better researched superfoods/herbals/supplements on that specific condition. Using your example of insulin resistance, I would recommend fasting, diet changes and exercise in addition to millet, flaxseeds, alma and turmeric far before I would recommend Sea Moss for insulin resistance as those are shown time and time again through scientific research that they are beneficial in reversing diabetes. Now if you want to talk about taking Sea Moss for overall health and because it has some nutrients…take it! I don’t have a problem with that. But I don’t want people believing it is this end all, be all, cure al, because it’s not. People don’t have to spend tons of money on superfoods and herbals to be healthy. In addition, there are so many adulterated superfoods/herbals/supplements products on the market, Sea Moss being one of the most often adulterated products along with elderberry and spirulina. I want to help people make well-educated decisions around superfoods/herbals/supplements and this is my way of doing that.
@@TheSuperfoodPharmacist
Great dialogue and discussion points 👌
I sense homeostasis of balance is at the center of our points. Yes, intermittent fasting, excercise and quality sleep is important.
I appreciate that. I try to do my best to make sure I have a good balance so I can best serve people!
Tessa,
The B12 is pseudo B12 and is unusable by the body.
You didn't mention the iodine content.
Pseudo-B12 was shown not to function in humans and therefore has received less attention than B12 (DMB). The 500-fold-lower binding affinity of pseudo-B12 for the human B12 receptor, intrinsic factor, largely contributes to the inability of humans to use pseudo-B12 (26). Historically, these corrinoids have been viewed as “alternate” forms. However, these observations and the genetic studies of Anderson et al. (1) have brought to our attention the reality that pseudo-B12 and other “alternate” corrinoids are in fact the natural B12 cofactors in many organisms.
@@TheSuperfoodPharmacist
The fake b12 will still be measured by blood work the same as real b12 and can mask a deficiency, levels can look normal when they are not. A methylmalonic acid test is used to verify sufficient b12 in the body.
The usefulness as a nose spray against a cold may be because of the antiviral iodine content.
What about topical use is the risk for contamination matter in that case ?
It's all dependent on the manufacturer/product you use. Unless you know how the manufacturer tests and purifies contaminants, it's hard to know whether or not it's a good product. I usually get on the phone or email manufacturers and have an in depth conversation as to how they purify their products and go from there. Hope that helps!
I just take a Centrum multivitamin at night after a full meal and and I take one before bed to let my body soak up the multivitamin during the night as I sleep.
Multivitamins are best to take with a meal or snack so thank you for the comment!

@@TheSuperfoodPharmacist I agree with you When I say personal research I mean thorough quantitative research. Which is a combination of deep scientific analysis and R&D. Overall the best way to reach a reasonable conclusion about a subject is to look at multiple sources of research data, do your own, compare the data and that's that. We should never blindly accept data because hidden agendas could be a factor. Thats all.
@@AVISIONMUSICTV Completely agree and that's what I strive to do for my clients, Combination personal trial based on scientific research and data analysis. Some superfoods are better than others and that's why I base my initial recommendations on that scientific analysis.
@@TheSuperfoodPharmacist Yes, although a conversation about nutrition is very complex because a group of foods vegetables or fruits may fair well with one demographic and not another down to the individual level and there may be a variety of reasons, hereditary, allergies, biological compatibility with certain food groups etc. Pineapple may prove to help one person and adversely affect another, now do these factors negate the nutritional value of a group of foods, no, but these factors have to be considered when tailoring nutritional plans for clients.
@@AVISIONMUSICTV Completely agree!

Glad you found the video helpful!
Could sea moss help with hyperpigmentation?
TO date, there aren't any scientific research articles out these testing sea moss for hyperpigmentation so I can't say that it does.
However here is an interesting article I found at www.byrdie.com/sea-moss-skincare-4782466 "Sea moss is a bit of a skincare powerhouse," notes David Jack, MD. "Being rich in sulfur, it has antibacterial, antiviral, and antimicrobial functions, so it is believed to help with balancing the skin microbiome." He explains that the high sulfur content also can decrease the excessive production of sebum (oil) in the skin. Together with the antibacterial effect on P.acne bacteria, it may help reduce the severity of acne in people who suffer from this condition."
Hope this helps a little!
Can you please do a video on “shilajit” supplement? It’s similar to sea moss it’s seems. It’s an ancient goo that you soak in water and drink, apparently there’s more research for it
I have! You can find it right here: ua-cam.com/video/YkFkqSQByZU/v-deo.html I have to say I was pleasantly surprised!
interesting, but unless you have done the research yr i cant take yr word for it.
I did do the research. And whether or not I did the research myself isn't the important aspect of this video. Your argument has nothing to do with whether Sea Moss is a helpful supplement or not. Please see all the research references I used in forming my opinion.

For me personally Seamoss has made my gut healthier than eating greens along and it stopped my hotglashes. So your research is not sufficient.
Victoria, I'm glad to hear taking Sea Moss worked for you. I never addressed the research on Sea Moss and hot flashes, and maybe that is something I should look into.

I haven’t watched the video yet but let me guess: the consensus is don’t take sea moss; take drugs instead. 😏 🤨
No, I actually recommend kale or chlorella instead. If you wanted the video, you’d see I’d rather recommend natural treatments instead of medication in a lot of circumstances. Maybe watch the video before you judge?
I'm just gonna say this, sea moss is the only thing that cured my long covid and if I go days without it, I can feel the long covid symptoms creep back in..
Glad you have had a positive experience with it!
