So read on my healthy Kings and Queens, because this moss is a **MUST TRY** in life! First off, our friend Irish sea moss has many name tags including Irish moss, sea moss, and Red algae. Since Irish sea moss is a type of red algae, that’s how that last name sticks, but all of the names above mean the same thing. Also, Irish sea moss is found in tide pools, which is a little patch of sea water found in the intertidal zone of the sea. Usually tide pools have rocks surrounding them, so in low tide, tide pools become a little, isolated, well *pool* of seawater. Despite the name, Irish moss doesn't only grow in Ireland. The plant can be found growing along the Atlantic coast of North America, continental Europe, and the British Isles. Pretty cool huh? Now onto those amazing health benefits! ## 1.) The vitamins. I’m gonna tell you now, Irish moss knows it’s A B C’s. It’s got vitamin B2 & B12, vitamin C, and a lot of beta carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A. ## 2.) Essential minerals Your body needs sulfur to repair your DNA, and shield your cells from damage. Luckily Irish Moss has got ya covered on sulfur.

If you want to hear about all that, you’ll have to do some research yourself! ## 3.) Irish sea moss is your lungs’s BFF
