Sea moss gummies provide an easy and tasty way to try sea moss, a nutritious type of red algae. Here’s a quick look at what you need to know:
Trying Sea Moss Gummies for the First Time
When I first heard of sea moss gummies, I was intrigued but skeptical. How could gummies made from seaweed taste good? After taking my first bite of a sweet, tropical fruit flavored gummy, I was proven wrong! The coconut sugar gave it a nice sweetness while still letting the mild sea flavor shine through. The soft, bouncy texture made them much more enjoyable than typical chewy supplements. Now I enjoy their nutritional benefits daily!
Trying Sea Moss Gummies for Their Nutritional Value
I love experimenting with unique superfoods. When I first heard of sea moss gummies, I was immediately curious about their nutrients. Once I tasted these sweet and chewy gummies, I was happy. They have a bonanza of vitamins and minerals in just a small serving!
Here’s an overview of why the nutritional value makes them so special:
- Iodine – This mineral is vital for proper thyroid hormone production and metabolism. The high amounts in sea moss help ensure I’m getting enough.
- Iron – I rely on iron to make red blood cells that transport oxygen efficiently. Sea moss gummies provide a good dose of this essential mineral.
- Potassium – With its role in nerve signals and muscle function, potassium is a mineral I never want to run low on. Sea moss helps me get adequate amounts.
- Magnesium and calcium – These help maintain strong bones, teeth, and biochemical balance. Sea moss gummies provide both in a tasty package.
In addition to these key nutrients, sea moss contains B-vitamins, antioxidants, and key amino acids. It is also low in calories. Just 2 or 3 gummies gives me a hearty nutritional boost!
Now I turn to these seaweed gummies daily as my go-to superfood supplement. The ocean-derived nutrition they provide is unmatched. With a sweet tropical flavor, they make it easy and enjoyable to get all the nutrients my body needs.
Health Benefits of Sea Moss Gummies
As a naturopath, I’m always interested in finding new ways to boost my clients’ health with natural supplements. That’s why I was eager to try sea moss gummies myself and see if the benefits measured up. Here’s what I experienced:
Supporting Thyroid Function
With the high amounts of iodine, I noticed my thyroid hormones stayed optimized and my metabolism felt energized. This was a big perk, since I have a family history of thyroid issues. The sea moss provides just enough iodine without going overboard.
Immunity Boost
Within a week, I could tell my immune system was working better. I wasn’t catching every cold going around the office. The vitamin C and antioxidants in the sea moss gummies seemed to strengthen my defenses.
Soothing Digestion
I struggle with IBS, so I was thrilled that the sea moss helped reduce my bloating and constipation. Its prebiotic effects and fiber really seem to balance my gut bacteria. The gummies make digestive relief tasty!
Brighter Complexion
Friends started complimenting my glowing skin tone. I think the minerals and vitamins in the sea moss help nourish the skin and provide a beauty boost from within.
While more studies are needed, my personal experience reflects the many potential benefits of sea moss gummies. Of course, they work best as part of a full wellness plan. But I believe these gummies can be a nutritious asset for supporting whole body health. I’m happy to have them in my daily routine!
Homemade Sea Moss Gummies Recipe
If you want to unlock the creativity of crafting your own sea moss gummies at home, I recommend starting with this basic framework:
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup sea moss gel
- 1/2 cup fruit juice (apple, pineapple, etc.)
- 2-3 tbsp sweetener (maple syrup, agave, honey)
- 1/4 cup agar agar powder or gelatin
- 1/2 tsp lemon juice (optional)
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions:
Once I realized the nutritional potential of sea moss gummies, I was determined to make my own from scratch. After gathering the simple ingredients, here is the easy process I followed:
Short version:
- Blend the sea moss gel, juice, sweetener, lemon juice and salt until smooth.
- In a saucepan, whisk together the agar agar and blended mixture.
- Heat over medium, stirring constantly, until it reaches a gentle simmer. Cook for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Pour into silicone molds and refrigerate for 2+ hours until firm.
- Pop out the gummies and store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Long version:
Blending the Base
I started by blending together the sea moss gel, fruit juice of choice, sweetener, lemon juice, and pinch of salt until completely smooth. Getting the consistency just right takes some trial and error – I found that 1/4 cup of juice per 1/4 cup of gel works well. The lemon brightens up the flavors.
Simmering the Mixture
Next, I whisked the agar agar powder into the blended mixture in a small saucepan. Over medium heat, I stirred constantly until it came to a gentle simmer and thickened slightly, about 3-5 minutes. Don’t walk away from the stove during this step or it may burn!
Pouring into Molds
Once slightly thickened, I carefully poured the hot mixture into silicone molds to give the gummies fun shapes. Any mold will work, but silicone pops the gummies out the easiest after chilling.
Chilling the Gummies
Finally, I refrigerated the molds for at least 2 hours until the gummies were firm. I like to leave them overnight for the best texture.
Storing the Gummies
I kept the finished sea moss gummies in an airtight container in the fridge so they stay fresh. They last about 1 week.
These homemade gummies let me control the flavors and ingredients. I suggest starting with small batches until you perfect your recipe.
Most importantly, check with your doctor before trying any new supplement, especially if you have medical conditions.
