Buy Seamoss – Lab-Tested Quality

Q: What exactly is sea moss?

Sea moss, also known as Irish moss, is a red algae with the botanical name Chondrus crispus. It belongs to the large group of algae and is traditionally harvested along the Atlantic coasts of Northern Europe and North America — a natural marine ingredient that has recently gained renewed popularity worldwide.

Q: How is sea moss extract produced?

Chondrus crispus grows on rocky coastlines and, once harvested, is washed, dried and further processed. The dried seaweed can be made into a concentrated extract, with the ratio of raw material to finished product stated — around 30:1, for example. That means a small amount contains the essence of a considerably larger quantity of the original algae.

Q: What does the 30:1 extract ratio mean?

The extract ratio shows how strongly the raw material has been concentrated: at 30:1, 30 parts of dried algae were processed down to one part extract. The higher the ratio, the more concentrated the finished product. A clearly stated ratio is a sign of transparency and good quality.

Q: How is sea moss different from other algae?

Sea moss is a specific type of red algae, and at Scheunengut it's offered mainly as a high-strength extract — vegan and lab-tested. You'll find other marine and freshwater algae, such as spirulina or chlorella, in our dedicated Algae category, if you'd like to broaden your range of algae.

Buy Sea Moss – Extracts from the Red Alga Chondrus crispus

Sea moss, also known as Irish moss, is a red alga with the botanical name Chondrus crispus. It therefore belongs to the large group of algae and is traditionally harvested along the Atlantic coasts of Northern Europe and North America. In this category, you'll find sea moss products from Scheunengut – as a high-strength extract, vegan and lab-tested. You'll find further marine and freshwater algae in the algae category.

Origin & Extraction

Chondrus crispus grows on rocky coasts and, after harvesting, is washed, dried and processed further. From the dried seaweed, a concentrated extract can be produced in which the ratio of raw material used to final product is stated (e.g. 30:1). This way, a small amount holds the essence of a larger quantity of the source alga.

Standardisation & Format

Sea moss is available as dried raw seaweed, as a gel, as a powder or as an extract in capsule form. For extracts, the drug-to-extract ratio (DER) is the central figure: a ratio of 30:1 means that 30 parts of raw alga have been concentrated into one part of extract. Sea moss is often combined with other algae such as spirulina or chlorella.

What to Look for When Buying
