Sea Moss FAQ's
WHAT IS SEA MOSS?
Sea Moss is a Red Algae. It comes in many different species, with the most popular & well known being Chondrus Crispus, Eucheuma Cottonii & Gracilaria (Depending on the season, we stock all of these species). They also come in a wide array of colours from White, Gold, Purple, Brown and more
This nutrient-packed sea plant grows around the globe but it's especially found along the Atlantic coastlines of the Caribbean, North America & Europe
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF SEA MOSS?
Sea Moss is widely believed to contain 92 out of the 102 minerals that the Human body is made of & requires. It is quite literally one of the single most mineral-rich & nutrient-dense foods on the planet and is rich Zinc, Calcium, Vitamin C, Potassium, Iron, B-Vitamins, Manganese, Magnesium, Beta-Carotene, Pectin, Chromium, Protein & Sulphur compounds.
It has been medicinally used for many ailments due to it being high in anti-bacterial, anti-viral & anti-inflammatory properties which not only help to treat & even cure illnesses that originate from mucus, like the flu, colds, coughs, cancer, intestinal issues & diabetes, but it also helps to maintain a healthy mucous membrane to help boost your immune system and protect you from infection.
For Ladies, Sea Moss contains ample amounts of Iodine and Selenium, in fact, it contains more than any other food on our amazing planet! These are great for balancing hormone levels and even help in healing Thyroid disorders including fertility, menstrual & fibroids issues. This amazing little algae is also great for weight loss, as it absorbs moisture and thickens, it leaves you feeling fuller, for longer!
For Men, this plant packs a punch in more ways than one! The high levels of Zinc within, help boost Testosterone which helps to increase sperm count & motility and is even rumoured to help staying power and performance in the bedroom! Finally, the high levels of Taurine in Sea Moss (also chemically found in Red Bull Energy Drinks), means you get a great natural concentration and energy kick for that superb performance ahead
I'M NEW TO SEA MOSS, WHICH SEA MOSS GEL SHOULD I ORDER FOR MY FIRST TIME?
We always suggest that those trying Sea Moss for the first time, go for our base gels, these are just Sea Moss & Spring Water with no botanical boosters whatsoever. The base gels we provide are Golden Dust & Purple Treasure. If you have a more serious condition, please spend some time looking at our Exclusive Blends as these have some carefully selected herbs (we like to call Botanical Boosters) blended into the gel, and they provide a number of very powerful, organic additions to our already amazing Sea Moss gel
HOW & WHEN SHOULD I TAKE MY SEA MOSS GEL?
We recommend adults take 1 level tablespoon per day in their first 1 - 2 weeks (1 level teaspoon for children) then after your first 7 days, begin to take 2 level tablespoons of Sea Moss Gel a day (children can be upped to 2 level Teaspoons), this can be taken neat, straight off the spoon or added to smoothies, soups or even porridge oats in the morning. Get creative, make salad dressings, desserts and so many more awesome recipes
WHAT DOES SEA MOSS TASTE LIKE?
This all depends on where you purchase your gel. When we ask, family, friends & our customers what they think about the taste of our Tree of Life base gels (Golden Dust & Purple Treasure) we get a response of either "They don't taste of anything, like a flavourless jelly" to "I can taste the ocean a little". Now when it comes to blends with the botanical booster, Bladderwrack, that's a different story. Bladderwrack is a brown algae and has a stronger odour than most seaweeds we've come across, so be aware, you may prefer mixing any gel that contains Bladderwrack, into a smoothie to help mask the taste/smell. We take our standard of "100% Organic" very seriously, so we describe exactly what goes into our gels on each of our products pages. We've heard of some companies even putting in SUGAR!!! to mask the taste of their gel, that isn't a sign of a healthy product or of quality Sea Moss
HOW LONG DOES A JAR LAST?
We create your batches fresh to order, so when your jar arrives with you, providing you keep it airtight & refrigerated, it will last up to 3 weeks. If taken as suggested i.e. 2 Tablespoons, a jar will last approximately 15-16 days. You can even pop a daily dosage into each section of an ice cube tray & freeze your gel do it lasts up to 3 months. Please be aware, after a week, some of the gels can have a lighter, more liquified "film" appear at the top & also produce an earthy/sea smell, this is completely normal & they are still perfectly safe to consume/ingest. The film can come from a "leeching" of the herbs blended into the gel & also from gravity pulling the heavier particles of Sea Moss down towards the bottom of the jar.
CAN PRE/POST NATAL MUM'S & CHILDREN TAKE SEA MOSS?
Yes definitely, our standard gels are perfectly safe for children & expectant/post-partum Mum's to consume. The only gels we don't advise to give to children are any containing Burdock Root as it's a natural diuretic and should only be consumed under the supervision of your GP or trained health professional
IS YOUR DELIVERY REALLY FREE?
Since the COVID-19 Lockdown, we decided to make all UK shipping FREE of charge. Our orders are sent out via Royal Mail each week Mon-Thu, and they are dispatched in the order they are received. As we are sure you can appreciate, all orders are freshly prepared so it will be a minimum of 24 hours before your order is dispatched as we do not pre-prepare gels. This also means if you order on a Thursday (unless you specifically request the order to be dispatched Friday), your order will be sent out on the Monday, this is so your gel isn't compromised sitting unregfrigerated in the Royal Mail/DPD system somewhere over the weekend. If you decide to request a Friday dispatch, we cannot be held responsible for your gel becoming compromised or it's use by date being effected, as we sure you can appreciate
Once your order has been dispatched, you will receive a Tree of Life dispatch email and your order will be delivered by Royal Mail 24hr Tracked 1st Class "Signed For" service completely FREE, so the price you see for our products, is what you pay, no annoying hidden extras
