SeaMoss has become a go-to superfood for those seeking natural wellness and nutrition. But with growing popularity comes growing concern, particularly around heavy metals like arsenic and lead. If you’ve ever wondered whether your sea moss is safe, you’re not alone. Let’s break it down.
Heavy Metals in Sea Moss: What’s the Deal?
Like many marine plants, sea moss grows in the ocean, where it can naturally absorb trace amounts of heavy metals from the surrounding water. These may include arsenic, lead, cadmium, and mercury, elements that, in high doses, can be harmful to human health.
But the key word here is trace.
Not all heavy metals are created equal. For example:
- Organic arsenic, commonly found in seafood, is much less toxic than inorganic arsenic.
- Similarly, small levels of naturally occurring lead in sea vegetables are not unusual, but there are strict international limits on what’s considered safe.
At SeaMoss Boss Canouan, we take your health seriously. Our sea moss undergoes routine third-party testing to ensure it meets internationally recognized food safety standards.
What Our Testing Confirms
We regularly test for:
- Arsenic
- Lead
- Mercury
- Cadmium
- Microbial contaminants (like cold, bacteria and yeast)
Our most recent results can be found by clicking here.
These values are well within acceptable safety limits set by regulatory bodies for edible seaweed products, especially when consumed in normal serving sizes.
