Functional foods are ingredients that offer health benefits that extend beyond their nutritional value. As we age, our bodies may have difficulty producing or absorbing certain nutrients. That's where sea moss comes in, it's like a powerhouse of essential minerals that support our overall health and wellbeing. Supported by scientific evidence and laboratory findings, sea moss contains the following:
- Potassium
- Calcium
- Phosphorus
- Magnesium
- Iron
- Zinc
- Maganese
- Chromium
- Iodine
Feeling tired in the morning? Low energy at work or need that extra lift of energy for your workout? Sea moss is naturally high in magnesium and Iodine. Magnesium reduces tiredness & fatigue. Iodine is energy-yielding, this is the process of producing energy from nutrients. Magnesium is a mineral the human body do not produce, therefore it is vital to consume through a well balanced diet.
The thyroid is the butterfly-shaped gland in your neck. One of its main functions is to produce hormones that help regulate the body's metabolism (the process that turns food into energy). These hormones are called triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). This gland produces hormones that regulate your body's energy use, along with may other important functions. Hypothyroidism is when the thyroid is underactive.
When thyroid hormone production drops, your body processes slow down and change. Hypothyroidism can affect many different systems in your body.
Cognitive functioning refers to multiple mental abilities including:
- Thinking
- Learning
- Attention
- Reasoning
- Remembering
- Problem solving
- Decision making
Iodine, Iron & Zinc help contribute to neurological function and normal cognitive development in adults and children.
If you suffer from the above it maybe due to the lack of Zinc & Iodine. Both are essential micro-nurtients found within sea moss which the body does not naturally produce.
They help promote the maintenance of hair, nails and skin.
