Everything we know about sea moss, written down

The short answer

Sea moss is a red alga — a seaweed — that sets into a gel as it cools. It is notable for iodine, it has been eaten in Ireland and the Caribbean for centuries, and the amount of anything in it depends on the harvest it came from.

No claims about your body, no mineral counts we cannot document. What is in the jar, where it came from, how to use it, what it tastes like, and who should ask a doctor first.
