92 of the 102 minerals the human body needs — in one sea plant
Sea Moss has long been revered in Caribbean and alkaline naturopathic circles — and for good reason. It contains an extraordinary 92 of the 102 minerals found in the human body, making it a complete thyroid, gut, and immune tonic. The gel form (soaked and blended sea moss) is the most bioavailable way to consume it. Kenan considers it one of the three most important foundational herbs.

🌴 Caribbean traditional use
Sea Moss has been harvested from the coastal waters of Saint-Martin, Martinique, and across the Caribbean for centuries. Caribbean grandmothers traditionally soak it in limewater and blend it with milk, cinnamon, and nutmeg into a tonic drink for strength, potency in men, and 'putting back weight' after illness.
Cautions
If you have thyroid disease (especially hyperthyroidism), consult a doctor before use — very high iodine content. Do not use pool-grown or low-quality sea moss (may contain heavy metals). Avoid very large amounts during pregnancy.
