Irish Sea Moss is a type of red algae (seaweed) that grows on the Atlantic coastlines of Ireland, North America & Europe. The scientific name of Irish Sea Moss is Chondrus Crispus. Irish Sea Moss has been harvested and consumed in Ireland for hundreds of years and used as a natural remedy for many conditions from the flu to fatigue. During Ireland's potato famine in the 1940's, Irish Sea Moss was commonly used as food to help prevent sickness and nutritional deficiencies. It is now becoming popular as nature's alternative to snythetic supplements such as multivitamins due to it's nutrient density.
