What the brand says

Sold as “Alkaline Herb Shop Sea Moss Supplement 140 Capsules - Wildcrafted Irish Sea Moss (Chondrus crispus, Musgo Marino) from Canada - 2,400 mg per Serving, Excellent Source of Iron, Vegan”

Sea moss capsules made with wildcrafted Irish sea moss (Chondrus crispus), harvested from the cold Atlantic waters off Canada rather than pool grown on ropes like many Caribbean varieties. Each tube holds 140 vegetable capsules, which is 35 servings of 4 capsules, about a 35 day supply. In Spanish it is musgo marino. WHAT IS IN EVERY SERVING: 2,400 mg of Irish moss whole plant (Chondrus crispus), 600 mg per capsule. Iodine 364 mcg (243 percent DV), Iron 4 mg (24 percent DV), Calcium 120 mg (9 percent DV), Magnesium 30 mg (7 percent DV), Zinc 0.3 mg (3 percent DV). The minerals you see are naturally present in the seaweed. They are not derived from inorganic added minerals. Irish sea moss is naturally rich in iodine, which supports normal thyroid function and healthy skin.* It is also an excellent source of iron, which supports the normal formation of red blood cells and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue.* ON THE IODINE: 364 mcg is 243 percent of the daily value, which sounds like a lot and is worth putting in context. The National Institutes of Health sets the upper intake level for adults at 1,100 mcg a day, so a serving sits comfortably below it. IS IRISH MOSS THE SAME AS SEA MOSS: yes. Two names for the same seaweed, Chondrus crispus. Some sellers use the words sea moss for other species entirely, which is why ours is named on the label. CAPSULES OR GEL: the same whole plant, prepared differently. Gel means soaking, blending and a short fridge life. Capsules mean no soaking, no taste and the same measured serving every time. OTHER INGREDIENTS: vegetable cellulose (capsule). No gelatin, no fillers, no additives, no binders. Third party tested for identity, microbials and heavy metals. Wildcrafted in Canada, encapsulated and packaged in the USA. DIRECTIONS: as a dietary supplement, take 4 capsules in the morning. Store tightly closed in a dry place at room temperature, 59 to 86 degrees F. PRECAUTIONS: high in iodine, do not take if you suffer from hyperthyroidism.
