How Much Sea Moss Should You Take? Dosage & Safety Explained

One of the biggest questions people have when it comes to sea moss: How much is too much?

Typical dosage: 1–2 tablespoons of gel per day (4–8g of dried sea moss).

In gummies/capsules: usually 500–1000mg per serving.

Daily limit: aim to stay under 225 mcg iodine (per FDA guidance).


Safety & Side Effects

Too much iodine can disrupt thyroid balance.

Some worry about heavy metal contamination — always choose sea moss that’s tested for purity.

Pregnant or breastfeeding? Always ask your doctor first.

If you take thyroid meds or blood thinners, consult with a professional before starting.
