Third-Party Tested Sea Moss: What We Test For and Why

Quick answer: Yes. CGI-Green is third-party tested sea moss. Our Moss Bites gummies are lab-tested for heavy metals (lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury) and for yeast and mold. Our sea moss gels and dried sea moss (gold and purple) are lab-tested for yeast and mold, with results within the set limits. Ask us and we will send you the certificate of analysis.

Plenty of sea moss labels say "tested." Very few say what was tested, or offer to show you the results. Those details are what separate third-party tested sea moss from a word on a label, so here they are, plainly.

What Third-Party Tested Sea Moss Actually Means

Third-party tested means an outside lab, not the brand selling it, checks samples against set limits and reports what it finds. The brand does not grade its own work.

It matters more for sea moss than for most foods. Sea moss is a wild-harvested sea vegetable that takes up minerals from the water it grows in. That is part of why people value it as a source of iodine, potassium, magnesium and calcium, and it is also why the water it grew in matters.

What We Test For

Here is what third-party tested sea moss means at CGI-Green, product by product.

  • Moss Bites gummies: heavy metals (lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury) and yeast and mold.
  • Sea moss gels: yeast and mold, with results within the set limits.
  • Dried sea moss (gold and purple): yeast and mold, with results within the set limits.
  • Results: on our certificate of analysis (COA), which we share with anyone who asks.

Why Third-Party Tested Sea Moss Protects You

Testing is the part of sourcing you can actually verify as a buyer. Ours starts wildcrafted in the waters of St. Lucia and the surrounding Caribbean, rinsed with fresh lime and traditionally sun-dried. See exactly where our sea moss comes from. The lab report is the independent check on what reaches your kitchen, and the certificate lets you read it for yourself.

How to Check Any Brand in 3 Questions

  • What was tested? "Tested" alone is not an answer. Ask which tests were run, product by product.
  • When was it last tested? Recent results tell you more than an old report.
  • Can I see the certificate? A brand that tests should be able to show you. Ours is one email away.

If the answers are vague, you are not looking at third-party tested sea moss, whatever the label says. More on telling brands apart in wildcrafted vs pool-grown sea moss.
