HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Sea Moss with Spirulina by Atlantic Naturals
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
Sea Moss with Spirulina contains two active ingredients: certified organic spirulina powder and organic Irish Moss. Spirulina is a type of blue-green algae rich in protein and nutrients; Irish Moss is a seaweed used traditionally for its mineral content.
The capsules themselves are made from methylcellulose and microcrystalline cellulose, which are inactive ingredients that form the capsule shell and help with absorption.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
For spirulina, the evidence shows it is possibly effective for high blood pressure (hypertension). For acne, allergic rhinitis (hay fever), iron deficiency anemia, and arsenic poisoning, the evidence we hold is insufficient to rate whether spirulina works.
We don't have effectiveness data for Irish Moss on file.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Spirulina is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth. The most common side effects reported are abdominal cramps, bloating, diarrhea, dizziness, fatigue, flatulence, headache, nausea, and vomiting.
Allergic reactions are rare but can occur — a small number of case reports describe urticarial rashes, itching, and in one case a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) in a teenager. Mild gum bleeding and bruising have been reported in a few people taking spirulina.
A major safety concern is that the quality of spirulina products varies widely and some can be contaminated with toxins or heavy metals — this is an important reason to buy from a trusted source. We have no pregnancy or breastfeeding safety data on file for either ingredient.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you use anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs (blood thinners and anti-clotting medications, Moderate severity), immunosuppressants (Moderate severity), or antidiabetes drugs (Moderate severity). No interactions are documented in our data for the Irish Moss ingredient.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product may be worth considering if you're interested in a spirulina-based supplement and your blood pressure is elevated, though evidence for other uses is not yet established. If you take blood thinners, immunosuppressants, or diabetes medications, check your exact drugs with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.
Talk it over with your healthcare provider to see if it's right for you.

Sea Moss with Spirulina by Atlantic Naturals Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Sea Moss with Spirulina by Atlantic Naturals carries interaction potential through its spirulina content.
The most serious documented concern is a moderate risk of increased bleeding with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs (blood thinners and anti-clotting medications). While spirulina has shown antiplatelet and anticoagulant effects in lab studies, real-world bleeding risk appears unlikely based on current evidence.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Spirulina may also interfere with immunosuppressant drugs (medications that suppress immune function) by stimulating the immune system instead — a moderate-severity concern. Additionally, it could theoretically raise the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) if you're taking antidiabetes medications, though spirulina's actual effect on long-term blood sugar control remains unclear.
We could not check the organic Irish Moss ingredient for interactions because we hold no interaction data for it. Altogether, these interactions span 327 individual medications.

certified organic Spirulina powder
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, spirulina blue-green algae might increase the risk of bleeding if used with other anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs. However, this is unlikely.
Spirulina blue-green algae have shown antiplatelet and anticoagulant effects in vitro. However, one preliminary study in 24 patients receiving spirulina blue-green algae 2.3 grams daily for 2 weeks showed no effect on platelet activation or measures of clotting time.
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, taking blue-green algae with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Human research shows that spirulina blue-green algae can have hypoglycemic effects in patients with diabetes, at least some of whom were using antidiabetes drugs. However, blue-green algae does not seem to improve glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in patients with diabetes. A meta-analysis of animal studies also suggests that spirulina blue-green algae have hypoglycemic effects.
Immunosuppressants
Theoretically, concurrent use of blue-green algae might interfere with immunosuppressive therapy.
Blue-green algae have been shown to stimulate the immune system.
