Mold Folks-

I hv mold toxicity and I take.sea moss 2x daily. I've never heard anything about taking sea moss and mold???

Do you have any idea how much iodine your sea moss contains per serving? When I first saw your post, I went to the manufacturer's website, but I don't recall being able to find the amount of iodine. One of the labels shows some trace amounts of some minerals, but I didn't see iodine listed.

Sea vegetables can sometimes contain super high amounts of iodine -- which can be a problem, if taking on a frequent basis.

I am holding a bag of Maine Coast Sea vegetables Irish Moss Powder which states that there is 876 mcg of Iodine per teaspoon.

Thank you, Seb4. I appreciate you taking the time to look and share the information.

That amount is 584% of the U.S. Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of 150 mg for non-pregnant and non-lactating adults over the age of 19, but still under the Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) of 1,100 mcg for adults over the age of 19 -- including those who are pregnant and lactating. (?)

Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA): Average daily level of intake sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of nearly all (97%–98%) healthy individuals; often used to plan nutritionally adequate diets for individuals.

Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL): Maximum daily intake unlikely to cause adverse health effects.

I've always read to be careful about getting too much iodine, whether in food and/or supplement form. It appears the acceptable range is wider than I would have imagined, based on the above website.

I took it every day for about six months but haven't for a while now. It did do something as I would get a die-off reaction every time, but obviously, for me at least, it wasn't a cure. I have, however, heard great things about it in conjunction with fasting: that is, fasting for three days while only drinking sea moss. I might try that soon because it clearly has some effect which may have been minimized by other foods or supplements.

Seb4 and MedicalNerd: Thank you both for the replies! I wish you both much luck on your respective paths!
