What are the benefits of green sea moss?
Sea moss in the ocean naturally comes in a variety of colors. Once it is harvested and sun dried the impact of sunlight actually 'bleaches' the color to gold. In order to preserve its natural hue it has to be handled differently so that the color is retained.
Green sea moss gets its color from flavonoids called anthocyanins and chlorophyll The chlorophyll and flavonoids in green sea moss help to detoxify the liver, as well as increase hemoglobin in the blood. Green sea moss is often wild harvested along the coasts of the Caribbean.This type of sea moss often has a stronger smell (it smells like the ocean) and taste when compared to other colors.
Green Sea Moss is high in Chlorophyll, which is widely known as the "life force" of plants and is what gives plants their natural green color. Chlorophyll is an all natural body deodorizer and detoxifier. It is also great for healing the skin and reducing bacterial growth in wounds. Green Sea Moss is more rare to find and dried in a dark room to avoid losing it's unique color and benefits.
Along with all of the basic benefits for sea moss they are all the same no matter the color. But the ones that retain the color has some additional benefits that you typically get for example with colored veggies such as phytonutrients and anthocyanins.
