In addition to the many health-promoting benefits of Seamoss, we would like to take a special look at the purple .
Wild harvested purple seamoss is rarer, and is dried out of the sun to preserve its unique color and benefits.
It is rich in anthocyanins, which are among nature's most powerful antioxidants and protect the body from free radicals, viruses and inflammation. Anthocyanins are water-soluble plant pigments that are also found in blue and purple fruits and vegetables. It protects the plant from sunlight, cold and other stressors.
Among other things, anthocyanins are said to:
- Possess anti-aging effects by delaying cell aging
- help the heart by blocking blood clots from forming.
- that support cognitive, cardiovascular and liver health
- Fight off toxins, potentially reducing the risk of some chronic health conditions and cardiovascular disease
- regulate cell activity
- protect the body from certain types of cancer
- have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects
- ward off free radicals that cause oxidative stress on your body and ward off inflammatory responses. (Oxidative stress is caused, among other things, by: smoking, alcohol consumption, a diet low in vital substances, high sugar consumption, physical and psychological stress.)
Purple Seamoss Gel has a thicker consistency than Golden Seamoss, making it an even better thickener for puddings, soups and stews.
