While all colours carry the same beneficial qualities and can be used in the same ways, certain colours contain Phytonutrients which offer additional benefits that are unique to them.

Gold Sea Moss is the most commonly used and the only colour that is sun-dried. It offers all the benefits of Sea Moss that we've come to know and love and it has a very minimal smell and taste compared to the other colours.

Purple Sea Moss contains powerful antioxidants called Anthocyanins, which are commonly found in blue and purple fruits and vegetables. Anthocyanins are linked to health benefits such as stronger bones, a healthier heart, lower inflammation and protection against certain types of cancers. Instead of being dried in the sun, purple Sea Moss is dried in a dark room so that it maintains its unique colour and benefits.

Green Sea Moss is high in Chlorophyll, which is widely known as the "life force" of plants and is what gives plants their natural green colour. Chlorophyll is an all natural body deodoriser and detoxifier. It is also great for healing the skin and reducing bacterial growth in wounds. Like the purple kind, green Sea Moss is also dried in a dark room to avoid losing its colour and unique qualities.

Full spectrum is a wonderful combination of the Gold, Purple and Green Sea Moss, which is perfect for those who want all the benefits!
