Irish Sea Moss, scientifically known as Chondrus crispus, is a nutrient-rich red algae that grows along the Atlantic coastlines of Ireland, Europe, and North America. It has been used for centuries for its health-boosting properties and is commonly consumed in gel or dried form. It is important to note that Irish Sea Moss should not be confused with rope-grown sea moss, which is cultivated in warmer waters and may not have the same nutrient profile or health benefits.

At Conscious Moss, we proudly sell only authentic Irish Sea Moss (Chondrus crispus) — the same species that has been used for centuries and studied extensively in scientific research.

🧬 Species Matters

Irish Sea Moss is Chondrus crispus — a wild species that naturally grows on rocks in cold Atlantic waters. Most St. Lucia sea moss is a different species altogether (usually Gracilaria) that is often farm-raised on ropes.

🔥 Climate Isn’t the Issue — Growing Method Is

Just because St. Lucia has a warm climate doesn't mean the sea moss is inferior. The key difference is in the growing environment — not the location. Gracilaria is commonly pool-grown or rope-farmed, which can affect both its nutrient density and overall quality.

🌿 Why We Choose Irish

We’re committed to offering only the highest-quality, wild-harvested sea moss — because we believe nature knows best.

While "sea moss" and "Irish sea moss" are often used interchangeably, they aren't exactly the same:

1. Type: "Irish Sea Moss" is specifically Chondrus crispus, a red algae from cold Atlantic waters. "Sea moss" is a broader term, including Chondrus crispus and other seaweeds like Gracilaria and Eucheuma, each with different nutrients.
2. Nutrients: Irish Sea Moss is rich in minerals like iodine and potassium, plus vitamins A, C, and E. Other types may vary slightly in composition.
3. Uses: Irish Sea Moss is historically valued in Ireland, while other types may serve similar purposes with unique qualities.

In short, Irish Sea Moss is one variety of sea moss, but not all sea moss is Irish. Choose based on your health goals!

TRUTH ABOUT SEA MOSS

Keep refrigerated upon arrival.

Our gels are delicate and sensitive to contamination as we refuse to use any artificial synthetic chemicals harmful to the gut.

All gel formulas are hand-made to order, fresh, raw, and bioavailable—just like fruit & other natural foods. Because it's alive, it has a shelf life of 21 days.

Over time, like other fresh foods, it may develop mould, which is completely normal and a sign of its purity—free from artificial preservatives.

It’s normal for your Irish Sea Moss Gel to lose some of its gel consistency during shipping because of temperature fluctuations and movement. No need to worry—this doesn’t impact its quality or effectiveness. Simply refrigerate the gel for at least two hours to help it regain its original texture. After cooling, it will return to its proper gel form, ready for you to enjoy its full benefits.

Wild-Harvested (Organic) Sea Moss refers to sea moss that naturally grows on rocks at the ocean bed, where it absorbs a wide range of minerals from its natural environment. This method of harvesting ensures a rich nutrient profile, as the sea moss directly interacts with the mineral-rich ocean floor.

Farmed sea moss on the other hand, is often grown on ropes in the ocean. While this method results in a slightly different mineral composition, it still contains beneficial galactan chains. These galactan polymers are valuable for their use as thickening and gelling agents, with applications even in the biomedical field.

However, it’s important to distinguish between rope-grown sea moss, which is still beneficial, and pool-grown sea moss, which is the most concerning. Pool-grown sea moss is cultivated in artificial environments, often lacking the natural mineral content and exposure to ocean elements that wildcrafted and rope-grown sea moss receive. This can lead to a lower quality product that may not provide the same health benefits.

We proudly offer two species of premium sea moss: Irish Sea Moss (Chondrus Crispus)

Our Irish Sea Moss is wild-harvested directly from the rocks by a family of harvesters on the West Coast of Ireland.

Some individuals may be allergic to sea moss or other types of seaweed. If you have a known seaweed allergy, it’s advisable to avoid sea moss and consult with a doctor.

Generally, sea moss is safe for most people, including children and adults. However, it's always best to consult a healthcare professional before introducing any new supplement to a child's diet.

While sea moss can offer nutritional benefits, pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult with their healthcare provider before consuming it, as iodine levels can affect thyroid function.

Sea moss is high in iodine, which can impact thyroid function. If you have a thyroid condition (such as hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism), consult with a healthcare professional before consuming sea moss

To ensure safety, purchase sea moss from reputable suppliers that provide information on sourcing, processing, and any lab testing for contaminants.

By considering these factors, most people can safely enjoy the benefits of sea moss. Always consult a healthcare professional if you have specific concerns or health conditions!
