Moss Be Good

What motivated you to start this business?

Back in 2019, I became very interested in Dr Sebi and his way of life. I began to prepare sea moss for myself. I felt the immediate burst of energy, gut health and my joint pain went away. I began giving it away to my family and friends as I wanted them to see and feel the same benefits, I was experiencing. I than began adding flavors to the sea moss which host an array of additional benefits alongside the sea moss. My customers have definitely kept me going. Hearing the amazing reviews and seeing people feel better and look better is the reason I continue to source some of the best sea moss. Creating new recipes and different product types of sea moss is also very fulfilling.
