Rich in Nutrients
Sea moss naturally contains a variety of vitamins, minerals, and trace nutrients. Depending on the species and growing conditions, these may include iodine, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and other micronutrients.

A NOTE ABOUT SEA MOSS COLORS
Gold, Green, and Purple Sea Moss share many naturally occurring nutrients and characteristics. As a result, their suggested benefits may overlap considerably.
Differences in color can reflect naturally occurring pigments and growing conditions, but color alone should not be interpreted as proof that one variety provides a particular medical or therapeutic benefit that another does not.
Choosing a sea moss variety can therefore be based on personal preference, intended use, taste, texture, and overall wellness goals.
