Nothing Fishy: Irish Sea Moss Supplement

Irish Sea Moss (use code ENGNF15 for 15% off first purchase) is an edible seaweed that’s packed with nutrients and amino acids. This is sold in a glass jar then you just order plastic-free refill pouches after that.

Ask your GP before consuming seaweed (as food or supplements) if you have iodine or thyroid issues. Also check if you are on blood thinners or have a shellfish allergy. Keep supplements away from children and pets. 

This formula includes peppermint and black pepper, it’s rich in iodine to support the thyroid, digestion and clear skin.

England has over 600 species of seaweed (mostly native species) although warming coastal temperatures is (like on land) affecting growing, due to climate change.

The most common type is bladderwrack (the type that looks a bit like ‘bubble wrap’ with big air bubbles). Only about 20 species of seaweed are edible, though others are also used in beauty care and some are dehydrated to make seaweed salts.

Never harvest seaweed yourself (it has to done without removing the roots – like ‘giving seaweed a haircut’). As one expert wrote – it’s seaweed to you, but the universe to a shrimp!

Also don’t let dogs play with fronds, as wet seaweed can expand in the stomach as it dries.
