If you feel drained now and then it’s time for you to revitalise yourself with the power of ocean. This Natural Superfood, Sea Moss Complex® contains a combination of Organic Irish Sea Moss and Bladderwrack. This food supplement offers you many health benefits including supporting your thyroid and boosting your immunity.

Why use Sea Moss Complex®?
Sea moss is a type of sea algae that people can add to food or take as a nutritional supplement. Sea moss is naturally rich in minerals and vitamins and has potential health benefits with regular use. Sea moss supports thyroid health. The thyroid needs iodine to create and utilise important hormones in the body. Without enough iodine, the thyroid may not function properly and could cause metabolic issues. As a natural source of iodine, types of sea algae such as sea moss may help prevent iodine deficiency.

Sea moss has prebiotic effects which could play a role in improving the health of the gut microbiome. A diet rich in prebiotic, fiber-rich foods such as sea moss help promotes a healthy immune system. Also, antioxidant properties in algae help protect against neurodegenerative disease and help fight against specific health issues. Bladderwrack, on the other hand, is a powerhouse of antioxidants, helps reduce inflammation, and removes toxins from the blood.

Seamoss 400mg / Bladderwrack 50mg

Organic Irish Sea Moss:

Despite its name, Irish moss (Chondrus crispus) isn’t really a moss: It is considered as a type of algae, or seaweed. This red, branching seaweed is found on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean in Britain, Europe, and North America. Irish moss plays an important role in a number of industries, but one of its most common uses is in food.
Seaweeds are rich in iodine, a micronutrient that is vital for appropriate thyroid function. Iodine helps your thyroid produce hormones that control your metabolism, nerves, and bone growth. According to a study in salmon, supplemental seaweed has also improved immune response and immune modulation.
Seaweeds are a good source of live bacteria and fiber, both of which support a healthy gut microbiome. Seaweeds and microalgae are rich in fiber that can help you feel full and prevent overeating. Studies have shown that a compound in seaweed called fucoxanthin promoted fat metabolism in rats. Seaweed, including Irish moss specifically, is one of the best plant sources of omega-3 fatty acids. These fats are critical for a healthy heart. In fact, getting enough omega-3 fatty acids is connected to a lower risk of heart disease, blood clots, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure.
One study found that the compound fucoxanthin in seaweed reduced high blood sugar. Another study found that a compound in seaweed called alginate prevented blood sugar spikes in pigs. Fucoxanthin and other carotenoids found in Irish moss act as antioxidants, which are known to help fight free radicals. Uncontrolled free radicals can damage cells, causing them to grow in dangerous ways — damaged cells can become health issues.

Bladderwrack:
Scientifically known as Fucus vesiculosus is a type of brown seaweed that has been used for centuries in traditional medicine and as a dietary supplement. It is rich in various nutrients and bioactive compounds, which contribute to several potential health benefits.

Here are some of the benefits associated with bladderwrack:

Rich in Iodine: Bladderwrack is an excellent source of iodine, a vital mineral that is crucial for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland. Iodine is necessary for the production of thyroid hormones, which regulate metabolism, energy production, and overall growth and development.

Thyroid Health: Due to its iodine content, bladderwrack is often used to support thyroid health. It may help in cases of hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid) by providing the thyroid gland with the iodine it needs to produce thyroid hormones.
Weight Management: Some studies suggest that bladderwrack may have potential benefits for weight management and obesity. Its iodine content is thought to help support metabolic processes, which can aid in weight loss efforts.

Rich in Nutrients: Bladderwrack is a good source of various vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A, C, E, and B-complex vitamins, as well as minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium. These nutrients are essential for overall health and well-being.

Antioxidant Properties: Bladderwrack contains antioxidants, such as fucoxanthin and polyphenols, which can help protect cells from oxidative stress and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

Supports Digestive Health: Some traditional uses of bladderwrack include its role in supporting digestive health. It may help soothe digestive discomfort and promote regular bowel movements.

Skin Health: Bladderwrack is sometimes used in skincare products due to its potential benefits for the skin. It may help improve the appearance of the skin by providing essential nutrients and antioxidants.

Anti-Inflammatory: Bladderwrack may have anti-inflammatory properties, which can be beneficial for conditions associated with inflammation, such as arthritis.

Medication Interactions

When considering taking supplements like Sea Moss while on thyroid medication, it's crucial to proceed with caution. Sea Moss is known for its high iodine content, which is essential for thyroid health but can also interact with thyroid medications.

Here are a few points to consider:

Interaction with Medication: Thyroid medications, such as Levothyroxine, are used to treat conditions like hypothyroidism by supplementing the body’s thyroid hormone levels. Adding a high-iodine supplement like Sea Moss could potentially alter the effectiveness of your medication or change your thyroid hormone levels, which might necessitate adjustments in your medication dosage.
Thyroid Hormone Levels: Excessive iodine intake can disrupt thyroid function, potentially leading to hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, depending on your current thyroid health and the type of medication you are taking.
Consult Your Doctor: Before starting any new supplement, especially if you are on thyroid medication, it's best to talk with your healthcare provider. They can advise whether Sea Moss is appropriate for you and monitor your thyroid function tests to ensure that your thyroid levels remain stable.
Monitor for Symptoms: If your doctor approves the use of Sea Moss, they might suggest closely monitoring your symptoms and possibly adjusting your medication in response to any changes in your thyroid function.

In summary, while Sea Moss can offer beneficial nutrients, it's important to consider its effects on thyroid health, particularly if you are taking thyroid medication. Always consult with a healthcare professional to ensure safety and appropriate use.
