The dietary fiber in Irish moss acts as a prebiotic to support gut health.

The thick, gelatinous texture of Irish moss comes from carrageenan, a soluble dietary fiber. Once ingested, this fiber escapes digestion in the upper tract and reaches the colon. Here, it acts as a prebiotic, directly nourishing the beneficial bacteria of our gut microbiome. A thriving microbial community does more than ease digestion; it strengthens our intestinal barrier and primes our immune system to defend against pathogens.
