If you’ve been following the health food world, then you already know how popular sea moss is! The liquid-form is commonly used in broths and soups in Ireland as well as in creamy beverages in the Caribbean. But for many, soaking the sea moss for hours, then turning it into to a gel by blending and boiling it is too much work — hence, our easy to use powder mix. But what’s in it? Irish Moss Chondrus crispus, Sea Moss or Irish moss isn’t actually a moss. It is technically an algae or a seaweed. Found on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean — specifically in North America, Britain, and Europe — Irish moss is a branching red seaweed that is commonly used in food. However, it does play a role in other industries as well. The thing that makes Irish moss so useful is the jelly-like substance called carrageenan. Vegans may be familiar with carrageenan as it is often used as a gelatin substitute. However, it can also be a general emulsifier found in things such as infant formula or ice cream. It is also a great source of omega-3 fatty acids! Irish moss offers plenty of health benefits, making it a popular addition to many people’s diets. These benefits include: Healthy thyroid function Providing antioxidants Supporting healthy blood sugar Ashwagandha Root An important herb in Ayurveda, an alternative Indian medicinal practice that focuses on natural healing, Ashwagandha has been used in medicines since ancient times. For thousands of years, people have turned to Ashwagandha root to help boost energy levels and concentration while decreasing stress. The word itself is Sanskrit and means “smell of the horse”, a phrase that refers the smell of the root as well as its strength-building properties. The botanical name for Ashwagandha is Withania somnifera, but it is still yet known by several other names including winter cherry and Indian ginseng. The plant itself looks like a small shrub, and it blooms yellow flowers. You will find Ashwaganha native to India and North Africa. There are many uses for this important herb including: Regulation of blood sugar Healthy fertility in men Help building muscle mass Healthy cortisol levels Beet Root Beta vulgaris or beetroot is a vegetable that is known by several names including table beet, garden beet, or red beet. This root veggie is packed with fiber, vitamin B9, manganese, iron, vitamin C, and potassium. In addition, due to having a high amount of inorganic nitrates, beet root has been known to be great for cardiovascular health. There are plenty of ways that you can consume beet roots including eating them raw, but most people cook or pickle them. You can also eat the leaves of the vegetable as well! Adding beet root to your diet may: Aid in healthy digestion Be a good source of potassium and iron Support healthy blood pressure Enhance exercise capacity Maca Root Known by its scientific name Lepidium meyenii, Maca Root or Peruvian ginseng has been a trusted dietary supplement for decades, both for its flavor and its health benefits. Native to the Andes mountains in central Peru, maca root seems to thrive in inhospitable conditions and high altitudes. A cruciferous vegetable, maca root is actually closely related to kale, broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower. Most people describe it as having a nutty or earthy flavor. Ranging in color from white to black, the edible part of the maca plant is the root which grows underground. Most people dry it into a powder, but it can also be made into a liquid extract or put into capsules. Due to its high nutritional value, people add maca root to their smoothies or oatmeal. It is a great source of carbs with a high-fiber content. Plus, it is full of vitamin C, iron, and copper. Consuming maca root may help: Support libido in both women and men Support some symptoms of menopause Promote healthy energy Support memory Who Should and Shouldn’t Use Sea Moss Superfood Powder There are plenty of reasons why you may want to add Sea Moss Superfood Powder to your diet. People wishing to lose weight will love the fact that Sea Moss Superfood Powder has a high fiber content. This means they will stay full longer, leading to weight loss! Plus, this healthy elixir is packed full of essential minerals and vitamins the body needs to function. The vitamin B content in the powder will help support mental focus and boost energy levels. And the additional minerals are great for vegans and vegetarians. But as they always say, there is such thing as too much of a good thing. There are some reasons why Sea Moss Superfood Powder may not be something you want to add to your diet. For instance, sea moss can have anticoagulant properties, especially in higher doses. This means that it can act as a natural blood thinner, but if you are already taking medication that thins your blood, sea moss powder may not be for you. Anyone taking anticoagulant medication should speak to their doctor before taking Sea Moss Superfood Powder. Another thing to consider is the magnesium content of sea moss. While magnesium is an essential mineral needed in the diet, those taking high blood pressure medications may not fare well. Some people have noticed that their blood pressure medication in addition to sea moss in their diet can lead to dizziness or nausea. People with stomach issues such as ulcers, internal bleeding, or IBS should consult with a physician before adding Sea moss Superfood Powder to their diet. Those who are pregnant or nursing should also speak with a doctor before trying Sea Moss Superfood Powder.
