Sea Moss Gummies UK

Sea moss gummies are the simplest way to add Irish sea moss to a daily routine: no gel to blend, no capsules to swallow. The GUUDIES Sea Moss gummy is one of six gummies in the daily GUUDIES pouch. It carries 40mg of Irish sea moss extract at a 50:1 concentration, equivalent to 2,000mg of the raw seaweed. Raspberry flavour, pectin based, vegan, one gummy a day.

What is in the Sea Moss gummy

What Irish sea moss actually is

Chondrus crispus is a red seaweed that grows on rocky Atlantic coastlines, including Ireland, Britain and eastern Canada. It has been harvested for centuries, historically for carrageenan, the gelling agent still used across the food industry.

It is not the same as much of the sea moss sold as a gel in tubs, which is often a different, warm water species (commonly Gracilaria or Eucheuma) rather than wild Atlantic Chondrus crispus. If a sea moss supplement does not name the species, it is worth asking why.

Why 50:1 matters

A 50:1 extract means 50 parts of raw seaweed are concentrated into one part of extract. So 40mg of extract corresponds to 2,000mg of raw sea moss.

The reason to use a standardised extract rather than raw seaweed is consistency. Wild seaweed varies in mineral content depending on where and when it was harvested. An extract lets the amount per serving be the same every time, which raw material cannot guarantee.

Sea moss gummies vs gel vs capsules

What to check on any sea moss supplement in the UK

• The species. Chondrus crispus is Irish sea moss. Other seaweeds are sold under the same name.
• The amount and the ratio. A label should give mg per serving and, for an extract, the concentration, so you can work out the raw equivalent.
• Iodine. Seaweed is a natural source of iodine, and the amount varies widely between products.
• Sugar per serving. Gummies range from under half a gram to several grams of sugar each. Ours is around 0.4g.
• Health claims. There are no authorised health claims for sea moss on the Great Britain nutrition and health claims register, so be wary of products that promise specific results from sea moss itself. We do not make any.

Sea moss and iodine

The NHS says adults need 140 micrograms of iodine a day, and that taking 0.5mg or less a day of iodine supplements is unlikely to cause any harm (NHS: Iodine). Because the iodine in seaweed varies so much, if you already take a kelp or iodine supplement, or have a thyroid condition, speak to your GP before adding sea moss in any form.

Who sea moss gummies suit

Sea moss gummies suit adults who want Irish sea moss as one part of a simple daily routine, without blending gel or swallowing capsules. They are not the right choice if you have a thyroid condition or already take an iodine supplement, unless your GP has said otherwise, and they are formulated for adults aged 18 and over.

How to take it

One Sea Moss gummy a day, taken together with the other five gummies in your mini pouch, with or after food. Each pouch holds 28 daily servings. Designed for consistent daily use as part of your GUUDIES routine. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake.

Format, allergens and suitability

Pectin based, so no gelatine, and vegan. Around 0.4g of sugar per gummy, sweetened with tapioca syrup rather than the sugar alcohols common in UK gummies. No synthetic dyes, no artificial sweeteners, no gluten, dairy, nuts, GMOs or fillers. Halal.

Formulated for adults aged 18 and over. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking prescription medication, check with your GP before starting any new supplement. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.

One of six gummies in the routine

Each GUUDIES mini pouch holds six gummies, every one targeting a different system so they work together rather than overlapping:

• Daily Greens+ Multivitamin, the core vitamin, mineral and greens base, tropical flavour
• Marine Collagen, with biotin, peach flavour
• Mushroom Mix, five functional mushrooms, mixed berries flavour
• ACV, apple cider vinegar with the mother, tangy apple flavour
• Metabolic, saffron, lemon and blood orange, strawberry jam flavour
• Sea Moss, the one on this page, raspberry flavour

All six are pectin based and gelatine free. Five are vegan. Marine Collagen is the one exception, since it contains collagen from fish.

Common questions

How much sea moss is in each gummy?

40mg of Irish sea moss at a 50:1 extract, which corresponds to 2,000mg of raw sea moss.

Is it real Irish sea moss?

Yes. It is Chondrus crispus, the wild Atlantic red seaweed, rather than a warm water species sold under the same name.

Are sea moss gummies better than sea moss gel?

They are more consistent and more convenient. Gel is raw seaweed blended with water, so the amount per spoonful varies, and it usually needs refrigerating. A standardised extract in a gummy gives the same amount every day with nothing to prepare.

When should I take sea moss gummies?

Once a day, with or after food, together with the other five gummies in your pouch. Consistency matters more than the time of day.

Do sea moss gummies contain iodine?

Seaweed is a natural source of iodine. If you already take a kelp or iodine supplement, or have a thyroid condition, speak to your GP before taking sea moss in any form.

Is the Sea Moss gummy vegan?

Yes. Seaweed is a plant, and the gummy is pectin based with no gelatine.

What does it taste like?

Raspberry. Each of the six gummies in the pouch has its own flavour so you can tell them apart.

Can I buy the Sea Moss gummy on its own?

Not as a standalone. It is one of six gummies in every GUUDIES daily mini pouch.
