Sea moss—aka Irish sea moss—is a type of red algae that boosts your health, energy and enhances your skin. Experts say it has some stand-out advantages, and other cultures have turned to it for years to improve health. Irish sea moss has been used for generations in places like Ireland, Scotland, and Jamaica in food and as folk medicine and men often use it to enhance their sexual prowess. When made into a gelatin-like consistency and added to foods like your morning smoothie, sea moss can soothe the respiratory tract and digestive tract (It doesn't have much flavor, so it should just contribute to creating a thick texture.) This might be due in part to the fact that, like aloe and okra, Irish moss is a mucilaginous food, which mucus-like texture (sticky, thick) can double as a remedy for irritation. sea moss can tend to act like a soluble fiber. soluble fibers dissolve in water and become a soft-gel that keeps you full and helps stool move through the GI tract. Sea moss is also a prebiotic, which is a type of dietary fiber that's essentially fertilizer for probiotics (healthy bacteria in your gut) and, thus, helps further support digestion. according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)—sea moss is loaded with key minerals such as folate, which is essential for prenatal health and development. It's also high in iodine, which is important for promoting the development of normal breast tissue, Iodine is also super fuel for the thyroid. Iodine helps the thyroid run properly and make thyroid hormones, which regulate metabolism, encourage bone and brain development during pregnancy and infancy, among many other important functions, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH)
