Dietitians have raised the alarm about the risks of ingesting too much of the popular supplement sea moss - after a 28 year-old Connecticut woman developed severe thyroid disease as a result taking the supplement 'sporadically' for just one month.
The 27 year-old included a dose of the slime-like substance in a video showcasing her extensive morning supplement routine - which featured somewhere in the region of $3000 worth of potions, according to experts' estimations. ♬ original sound - Georgia Ning Ms Routhenstein added that, although most products claim to contain relatively low quantities of iodine, this may not always be the case.
Reviewing the existing studies, registered Miranda Galati said the data for weight loss isn't convincing.'There are actually very limited studies on the effects of sea moss and weight loss, and the results that scientists are finding are mixed,' she wrote on her website. The 27-year-old displayed an elaborate 10-step morning routine that was chock full of pills, tinctures - herbal extracts - and unidentified liquids.
So one serving size of two tablespoons, which is about 28 grams, contains roughly 200 micrograms of iodine. Experts say the risk of overdose would only apply if someone was consuming several spoonful's per day. Hadid's 10-step routine started by dropping three unnamed tinctures into a glass of water and drinking it. Next, she poured a small amount of a translucent, yellow liquid from an unlabeled white bottle into a cup and drank it.
But, Ms Routhenstein said, she wouldn't be surprised if Hadid was opting for the more expensive brands, which can add up to as much as $100 per bottle.Routhenstein added: 'These are super expensive. And they don't necessarily give you benefit.'Hadid then dipped a spoon into her sea moss gel, mixing it with a half a glass of water before drinking. Her preferred brand, Planted Seeds, will run you $33 for a 16 ounce jar.
Hadid's next step was to crack open a beverage from her brand of health drinks, Kin Euphorics, $57 for an eight pack.
