To make capsules, just dry the plants, lay them on a drying rack in a room with good air circulation.  When dry, grind it into powder with a blender, or flour grinder and place the fine powder into empty capsules with a small scoop or capsule machine. 

You can choose the size of capsules you wish to buy for this endeavor, but a good size to start with is 00 vegan capsules and a 00 capsule machine to make them. 

There are many benefits of taking sea plants in capsule form rather than eating them whole, or in gel forms such as reduced gastrointestinal upset, increased bioavailability (more nutrients are absorbed), and higher concentrations of minerals.

Others also find the taste of seaweeds unpleasant, and so they deal better with consuming them in capsule forms.

So, what are the specific steps to making sea moss bladderwrack capsules at home? Let’s jump right into it.

What do You Need to Make Sea moss Bladderwrack Capsules?

What do you need to make sea moss and bladderwrack capsules? Sea moss and bladderwrack are very versatile herbs.

You can use this guide in case there are no stores selling sea moss – bladderwrack capsules in your area (most likely it happening because of the lack of knowledge about the use of sea moss and bladderwrack)

For a mix of about 3/4 sea moss and 1/4 bladderwrack, you will need:

1. A 00 Capsule making machine: You can check at popular stores although they can be very expensive.
2. Capsule case and re-sealable plastic capsules (00 vegan capsules recommended)
3. About half a kilogram of fresh dried sea moss (a blend of approximately 1 cup or 250g packed)
4. Fresh dried Bladderwrack (250g pack)
5. Spring Water. The reason why we recommend spring water over others is because aside from being the most natural, seaweed absorbs chlorine from tap water which may lead to stomach upset and possibly diarrhea.

Step #1: Dry the plants

The first step is to dry the sea plants. The best way to dry without damaging nutrients in the plant is to lay it on a drying rack in a room with good air circulation. 

Step #2: Grind them up

When it’s dry, grind up the sea moss and bladderwrack into a fine powder with a coffee grinder, mortar, and pestle, blender, or flour grinder.  Fill the grinder with about 1/3 sea moss and 2/3 bladderwrack and grind.

Some people recommend grinding it more than once but I found that one time was sufficient for me.

Step #3: Sieve large particles

Take the powder and pour the ground mixture through a sieve so that only fine powder remains.

This step is critical – if you don’t want to taste seaweeds in your capsules, then it’s important to make sure there are no chunks left after grinding.

Step #4: Encapsulate

Take the powder and place it into empty capsules with a small scoop or capsule machine. 

To make the capsules, fill a capsule machine with seaweed powder and cap using #0 size “00” capsules.

If you do not have a capsule machine, you can just put the dried seaweed into empty capsules and use a tablespoon to fill the capsules.

It is recommended that you use about 10-12 grams of each per 1 capsule size. The total amount will depend on the number and sizes of the capsules you are making but if you do not have a scale then just make them all single or double strength.

You can always adjust them later by taking less of them to have a weaker dose later, or more of them to have a stronger dose later.

Remove the capsules from the grinder and fill the required amount of fine powder in a capsule case.

Fill in one or two capsules with the mix. Repeat this until all the content is consumed.

Step #5: Label accordingly

Next is to label your sea moss and bladderwrack capsules so that you do not mistake them for something else.

Depending on how many different kinds of supplements you are making, and the number of products you have in each kind, it can be easy to get confused as to what was in each capsule.

Step #6: Store properly

The next step is to store them properly. Place them in an airtight bottle with a cotton ball.

Dosage

A good dosage to start with is one to two capsules daily.

To consume this mixture as a daily nutritional supplement, it is best to consume 1 capsule with each meal (or more if desired), depending on your dietary and nutrient intake needs.

Taking too much at once can cause nausea or diarrhea in some individuals, so watch out for any side effects and adjust accordingly. If you find that this is the case, try taking smaller amounts at mealtimes rather than larger amounts.

But overall, ensure you take the sea moss and bladderwrack supplements regularly. They will gradually cleanse your body of toxins, excess mucus, and unhealthy particles in a much more natural way than anything else out there.

Although the effects are not immediate they do build up over time so just be patient and stick with it.

How to Store Sea moss + Bladderwrack Capsules

Store the capsules in air-tight containers and keep them out of direct sunlight or they will spoil. They are best kept in a place that is cool, dark, dry, and at about room temperature for maximum effectiveness.

You should also take them away from sources of electromagnetic radiation as this can interfere with the transfer of energy from them.

You can keep them in your pantry for 2-3 months. Just make sure that they are covered up tightly before putting them in there.
