Sea Moss Gummies

The 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 the sea moss sold as a gel in tubs, which is often a different species grown in warm water rather than wild harvested Chondrus crispus. If a product 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 enormously 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.

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.

Format, allergens and suitability

Pectin based, so no gelatine, and vegan. Around 0.3 calories and 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. Seaweed is a natural source of iodine, so if you already take a high iodine supplement such as kelp, or you have a thyroid condition, speak to your GP before adding another. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking prescription medication, check with your GP before starting any new supplement.

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.

Is the Sea Moss gummy vegan?

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

How is this different from sea moss gel?

Gel is raw seaweed blended with water, so the mineral content varies with the batch. A 50:1 standardised extract gives the same amount per serving every time.

What does it taste like?

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

Should I take it if I have a thyroid condition?

Speak to your GP first. Seaweed is a natural source of iodine, and iodine intake is worth discussing with a clinician if you have a thyroid condition or already take a kelp supplement.

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.
