NATURE'S POWERFUL SUPERFOOD
Also known as Irish moss, sea moss is a highly nutritious sea algae that grows along the coasts of Europe, North America, and the Caribbean.
Long been considered a gift from nature, sea moss provides a plethora of vital nutrients for the whole body with very few calories.
Packed with a massive amount of essential minerals, vitamins and antioxidants makes it a complete, highly bioavailable multivitamin.
Sea moss may be one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet. Just one ounce (28.3 grams) of sea moss contains
-14% of the daily value of iron, an essential mineral required for healthy red blood cells.
-10% of the daily value for magnesium, a mineral involved in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body.

WHY SEA MOSS?
expansive and far-reaching benefits
THYROID & METABOLISM
Sea moss contains high levels of Iodine which contribute to peak thyroid function. This is important because the thyroid gland produces hormones that control your basal metabolic rate (BMR) which affects your metabolism, your digestive system and maintaining a healthy weight.
HEALTHY SKIN
Applied directly to the skin, its anti-inflammatory and anti bacterial properties help balance the skin microbiome and soothe a variety of conditions including acne, eczema, sunburns and psoriasis. The vitamins A & K, magnesium, calcium, and potassium in sea moss help to hydrate dry skin. Citrulline-arginine is responsible for releasing amino acids crucial in protein and collagen synthesis, which helps skin to be soft and youthful.
ENERGY & REPAIR
Amino acids are called the "building blocks of life," and are essential for building proteins that make up your muscles, enzymes for reaction, and growth. They help to break down food, grow and repair body tissue, and provide a source of energy.
MUSCLE RECOVERY
Sea moss contains amino acids which are helpful for repairing and building muscles, making it a great choice for athletes and regular exercisers. Arginine helps improve blood flow to the muscles during exercise, which can boost performance and reduce muscle fatigue. Cysteine helps to protect the body from the damaging effects of free radicals produced during exercise.
VITAMIN POWER
FETUS & INFANT DEVELOPMENT
In pregnancy and infancy, thyroid hormones support the healthy development of the brain and bones. It’s been understood by cultures where sea moss has been embraced for generations, that its nutrients help with the fetus’ development and keeps the mother healthy and strong.
IMMUNITY
Sea moss contains several bioactive compounds with antioxidant properties, including flavonoids, carotenoids, and vitamin C. These antioxidants can help protect the body’s cells and tissues from damage caused by free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can contribute to chronic diseases and aging. Antioxidants and phytochemicals also help support cardiovascular health, improve cognitive function, and even reduce the risk of certain types of cancer.
HEART HEALTH
The bioactive compounds in sea moss have been shown to have impressive benefits for your heart. Studies have found that consuming sea moss can help improve cholesterol levels by reducing levels of LDL cholesterol (“bad” cholesterol that can build up in your arteries and increase your risk of heart disease). It’s also a great source of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that can help reduce inflammation in your body which is a key risk factor for heart disease.
GUT HEALTH
Our gut is home to trillions of bacteria that play a crucial role in our overall health and well-being. Sea moss contains prebiotic fiber that can help promote the growth of good bacteria in our gut, which aids digestion and reduces the risk of constipation and other digestive issues. A healthy gut microbiome has been linked to improved immune function, better mental health, and even a reduced risk of chronic diseases like obesity and type 2 diabetes.
QUALITY IS OUR THING
NOT ALL SEA MOSS IS CREATED EQUAL
Nutritional quality varies depending on growing location and harvesting methods. St. Lucia's small population and limited commercial water activity keeps the water pristine and ideal for growing pure, nutrient dense sea moss.
From harvest to delivery, Life Strong guarantees the highest quality products available - for maximum health benefits - because that's what the moss is all about.
PURE & WILD HARVESTED
GROWN IN ITS NATURAL HABITAT
We want our customers to get what they paid for, which is a product loaded with vitamins & minerals!
Our moss is not bleached, or raised in a pool. Pool-grown sea moss contains much fewer minerals and vitamins than wild harvested, has a very low nutritional value, and little to no benefits.
ETHICAL & SUSTAINABLE
Catching sea moss in the wild is an environmentally friendly process. Only a part of the seaweed is picked up, allowing the rest to regrow without disturbing the ecosystem around it. Traditional Lucian farmers collect the moss from the sea, then cultivate it in open ocean farms for 2-3 months until the sea moss has grown large enough to be harvested. Everything is done by hand, just the way it’s been done for generations.
