Sea moss

Sea moss is also valued for its algal polysaccharide, which is extracted from carrageenan and has medicinal and health-related properties. Studies propose that algal polysaccharide aids:
immunity enhancement
antioxidant effects
antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activities
tumor inhibition
hypertension prevention
high cholesterol prevention
blood sugar control
In addition to its carrageenan and algal polysaccharide content, sea moss is also rich in:
proteins
peptides
amino acids
lipids
pigments
The potential health benefits of this red algae are linked to its neuroprotective and immune-boosting constituents.
