Exploring the Treasure Trove of Vitamins & Minerals In Sea Moss
Sea Moss Is Incredible!
By this point in the timeline of sea moss, this sounds like a bit of an understatement. The seaweed that was known only in the Atlantic coastal regions is now making headlines all over the world. More than anything else, the medicinal properties of sea moss have made it popular among the masses. In this brief, we will explore sea moss's vitamin and mineral content. Everyone talks about the potential of sea moss, but rarely do the contributing factors to this potential get highlighted. Let’s do that in this brief!
Minerals Found In Sea Moss
Let's start by defining minerals so we are all on the same page. They are inorganic elements that come from soil or water and are absorbed by plants or ingested by animals. In the case of sea moss, it absorbs minerals from the water it grows. So, it is understandable why pool-grown sea moss has fewer minerals than sea moss grown in the wild. Sea moss has essential and non-essential minerals. The essential minerals include calcium, copper, iodine, iron, manganese, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, sodium, sulfur, and zinc. Minerals found in trace amounts include actinium, aluminum, boron, cadmium, and cesium.
Vitamins Found In Sea Moss
Some people are surprised that sea moss contains as many as twelve vitamins, plus traces of vitamins like vitamin B12, vitamin D, and retinol. The vitamins found in significant amounts include vitamins C, A, E, K, B6, B1, B3, B2, B9, B5, B complex, and beta carotene. One of the major myths about sea moss that we have come across many times is that sea moss is enriched with vitamin b12. That is false since sea moss contains only trace amounts of vitamin b12. But it has twelve other vitamins, how about that!
Final Thoughts
Well, folks, that would be all from this brief. We hope you learned plenty of new stuff about sea moss's mineral and vitamin profile. All of these minerals and vitamins that we have mentioned in this brief have a very important role to play in our body. They serve as an important factor in the many biological reactions that take place in our bodies. Remember one thing, though, you will benefit from all the beneficial properties of sea moss only if you buy premium quality products.
