Hey everyone, just came across this article summarizing a study (PMID: 12345678) that claims sea moss gummies can boost immunity and improve gut health. The study was funded by a supplement company though... What do you all think? Is this legit science or just biased marketing? Here's the link: healthnews.com/sea-moss-study-review

OP, good catch on checking the funding source! I've looked into sea moss bioactives before - the iodine and carrageenan can have real effects, but most gummies are underdosed. That study might be cherry-picking data. I'd cross-reference with NIH databases and check if the journal is reputable. Also, what's the dosage in the gummies they tested? Most commercial ones are like 100mg per serving - barely enough to do anything unless you're stacking them.

Ugh, supplement companies funding their own "research" is so shady! We need independent studies on sustainably harvested sea moss. Most sea moss in gummies is farmed with questionable practices - are they even testing for heavy metals? I'd rather make my own gummies with wild-harvested Irish moss from verified clean waters. The plastic packaging on most brands is also terrible for the ocean these gummies are supposedly celebrating!

Remember when gummies were just Flintstones vitamins? Now everything's a "superfood" delivery system lol. I tried some sea moss gummies last month - texture was weirdly slimy compared to regular vitamin gummies. Taste was okay (berry flavor masked the seaweedy aftertaste). As for the study, I'd wait for more research. These trendy ingredients come and go - remember when everyone was obsessed with açai gummies?

I track my biometrics with my Whoop strap and Oura ring. Took sea moss gummies for 30 days - no significant changes in my HRV or sleep scores compared to my baseline. The study should include quantifiable data from wearables, not just self-reported surveys. Also, most gummy formulas have too much sugar - that's going to confound any health benefits. Has anyone found a sugar-free version that doesn't taste like ocean water?
