Sea Moss Decoded: A Deep Dive into Its Mineral Levels 🫧

Full spectrum sea moss, known for its vibrant hues ranging from gold to purple to green, is celebrated as one of nature’s richest sources of essential minerals. At Organically Kismet, we formulate our sea moss gel in its most bioavailable, whole food form, free from additives, preservatives, or synthetic compounds. Because we honor the plant’s natural integrity, each batch will naturally vary in its mineral content.

Sea moss is a wild-harvested sea vegetable whose nutritional profile is influenced by several environmental factors such as ocean salinity, temperature, sunlight exposure, and season harvest. Often referred to as “the collagen of the sea,” this marine superfood contains 90% of minerals the human body needs daily. Among its most vital components are, iodine, zinc, sulfur, potassium, and magnesium, each playing a key role in supporting everyday health from hormone balance to cellular repair. 

Iodine, for example, is naturally abundant in sea moss, with levels typically ranging between 500–800 micrograms per gram. This makes it a potent supporter of thyroid function and metabolic regulation. Zinc, a crucial mineral for immune response and skin health, is present in smaller but meaningful amounts usually around 1.5–2.5 milligrams per 100 grams (mg/100g). Sulfur, often responsible for sea moss’s slightly oceanic scent, contributes to detoxification and supports skin health, showing up at levels of 0.4–0.7 grams per 100 grams (g/100g). This gives sea moss its reputation for supporting clear skin and reducing inflammation.

Potassium and magnesium are two of the most prominent minerals in sea moss and can be credited for its calming, balancing properties. Potassium levels generally fall between 1,800–3,500 mg/100g, helping balance fluids, reduce bloating, and kidney function. Magnesium, known for its muscle-relaxing and stress-reducing qualities, appears in sea moss at 120–250 mg/100g. These mineral levels make full spectrum sea moss not only a replenishing food but a full-body tonic, capable of supporting hydration, energy, focus, and emotional resilience. Whether added to smoothies, teas, or skin treatments, its mineral profile speaks for itself as a naturally occurring powerhouse.

We believe in delivering sea moss as close to its natural state as possible to preserve its full spectrum of bioavailable minerals while maintaining its whole food form. Our decision to omit specific nutrient amounts on our labels allows us to classify our sea moss as a whole food rather than a dietary supplement. By doing so we’re able to feature a Nutrition Facts panel instead of a Supplement Facts label, preserving the integrity of sea moss as the mineral-rich, plant-based whole food it truly is.
