What are the benefits?

     

      • Boosting Immune System – Previous studies have shown sea moss to boost the immune system and possibly prevent the human body from contracting salmonella.One very early study revealed that sea moss could prevent the growth of S.Enteritidis – this bacteria causes salmonella in humans. However, this study has not since been reproduced in humans or animals.
      • Gut Health – Sea moss supports a healthy gut flora because they are a good source of fiber and bacteria.
        • Weight Loss – Sea moss is a fiber-rich food, which expands in your stomach and helps you feel fuller for longer, thus prevents overeating.
          • Preventing Parkinson’s Disease – Parkinson’s is a degenerative illness that mainly affects older adults; it causes stiffness, tremors and restricts mobility. One study conducted on worms revealed that sea moss extract decreased alpha-synuclein build-up, reduced slowness of movement, and stiffness. The results could mean good news for individuals with Parkinson’s disease, although more research is needed to find out if sea moss works as well on people as it dones on worms. 
            • Improving Fertility – Many men from the Carribean use sea moss as a natural sexual enhancer, as it could boost testosterone levels and sperm count. For women, the nutrients in sea moss, such as iodine, calcium, B vitamins, and zinc, make it a powerful fertility enhancer that can increase your chances of becoming pregnant. Scientists need to investigate this further.
