Sea moss is a healthy source of certain vitamins and nutrients that can be a boon for your health. Among them:
Fiber
Folate (vitamin B9)

It has a higher fiber content than most vegetables, which is a good thing for your heart and overall health.
Fiber has all kinds of positive effects on your body. It can help to:
Manage your blood sugar
Lower cholesterol
Lower blood pressure
Reduce your risk of chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease
Studies show that sea moss may help lower bad cholesterol, which is one of the factors for heart disease. It’s also been shown to help lower blood pressure, another key factor in heart health.
Iodine is one of the keys to a healthy thyroid. That’s because iodine is an important ingredient in making thyroid hormones. Too little thyroid hormone can put you at risk for hypothyroidism.
But your body doesn’t make iodine on its own; you can only get it through diet.
Most people get enough iodine from their diet. Including from foods like dairy products, seafood and iodized salt.
