Sea moss also gained attention in the United States last autumn when a flurry of panicky social-media posts from fans of the plant claimed that the US Food and Drug Administration was going to ban all sea-moss products, possibly because of certain unproven health claims. Although the FDA has issuedto makers of sea moss-containing products in the past , the posts about the ban turned out to be based on misinformation.
No clinical trials have investigated whether sea moss is beneficial for humans, Levine says, though seaweed in general has been well researched: it’s packed with vitamins and minerals similar to those found in sea moss, and some studies suggest that certain fatty acids and vitamins in some types of seaweed, like omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins D and B12, can help strengthen the immune system.
Besides, Levine says, you’re most likely already getting the same nutrients found in sea moss if you follow a well-balanced diet. And if you don’t, she says, consuming sea moss won’t counteract poor nutrition choices. “It won’t help to eat sea-moss gel if you’re getting a Big Mac.”Instead of turning to sea moss for a nutritional boost, she says, a few rolls of sushi containing seaweed can help supply comparable amounts of B vitamins and zinc.
