5 Simple Ways to Support Your Digestion with Sea Moss

Digestion is the least glamorous part of wellness and the one that changes the most when you get it right. Sea moss helps because of its mucilage — the slippery, soothing fibre that coats the gut lining and feeds good bacteria. Here is how to give it a fair chance.

1. Take it before food, not after

A tablespoon fifteen minutes before your first meal gives the mucilage time to settle. It also takes the edge off morning appetite, which tends to make the rest of the day's eating calmer.

2. Drink more water than feels necessary

Any fibre — sea moss included — works with water and stalls without it. If you're adding a scoop a day, add a glass a day.

3. Pair it with something fermented

Sea moss is a prebiotic; it feeds bacteria rather than adding them. Kefir, yoghurt, kimchi or sauerkraut supply the bacteria. Together they do far more than either alone.

4. Choose a blend that matches your problem

Golden Me, with ginger and turmeric, is the one to reach for if bloating and inflammation are the issue. Tropical Me carries bromelain and papain — enzymes that help break down protein — which makes it a good fit after heavy meals.

5. Give it three weeks

Gut change is slow change. Take it daily for twenty-one days before you judge it, and keep the rest of your routine boring enough that you can tell what did the work.
