Irish Moss

Also known as carrageen (from the Irish word carraigín meaning “little rock”), the benefits of Irish Moss were well known to the natives of Ireland long before it took on the status of “Superfood”.

One of the most important benefits of Irish Moss is its ability to help balance thyroid hormones. Irish Moss contains the vital thyroid hormone precursor DI-Iodothyronine, and the thyroid hormones Thyroxin and Tri-iodothyronine. If the thyroid doesn’t produce these hormones as it should, this can have a detrimental effect on metabolism and many other bodily systems.
