Description

Irish Moss Extract (chondrus crispus, carrageenan) is full of electrolyte minerals - calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium. Raw Organic irish moss is a seaweed and a great natural source of Iodine / Potassium Iodide (KI). Iodine is a chemical element essential for the production of thyroid hormones that regulate growth and metabolism. Diets deficient in iodine increase risk of retarded brain development in children (cretinism), mental slowness, high cholesterol, lethargy, fatigue, depression, weight gain, and goiter, a swelling of the thyroid gland in the neck. The natural potassium iodide (KI) / iodine from irish moss is absorbed by your body more slowly and safely than chemical or synthetic iodine. Furthermore, irish moss possibly helps promote an alkaline pH balance within the body and may also help to boost the immune system. Iodine / Potassium iodide (KI), administered orally immediately after exposure to certain types of radiation, may protect the thyroid from ingested radioactive iodine. The application of irish moss on the skin helps to enhance its natural moisture barrier. It may keep all sorts of harmful external elements that will harm the skin outside while leaving the beneficial moisture inside. With constant regulated use of irish moss the skin develops better moisture retention and the ability to retain essential lipids as well. Overall, the skin develops a healthy glow and appearance when treated with Irish moss. Naturally mineral rich, powdered raw Irish Moss can be easily included in practically any dish. Sprinkle it on entrees, soups and salads. Or add it to smoothies, teas and iced drinks.
