Oyster Extract: Natural Source of Zinc
Oysters, known as a delicacy and love food, offer more than just culinary pleasures. They are also known as one of the best natural sources of zinc. No other food in nature contains as much zinc as oysters. In fact, a serving of 6 medium oysters contains an average of more than 70 mg of zinc. What makes oyster extract so special is that the nutrients in it are completely bioavailable. In addition, all cofactors for zinc, such as manganese, copper and selenium, are present in the right proportions. This creates a natural mineral balance that corresponds exactly to what our body needs. This is critical because taking zinc as an isolated supplement can potentially lead to an imbalance of minerals in the body. In combination with other micronutrients in Oyster Extract, zinc is involved in more than 300 enzymes in our body.
The Benefits of Oyster Extract in a Nutshell
Oyster extract, such as OysterMax®, offers a wealth of health benefits. This unique oyster extract in powder form contains 59 trace elements, 12 vitamins, 19 amino acids and the omega-3 fatty acids EPA & DHA. Oysters are especially rich in zinc, which is essential for a healthy immune system, the maintenance of healthy body cells, fertility and hormone balance, and the condition of skin, hair and nails. In addition, oysters contain a lot of copper, which provides cell protection, supports the skin and hair, and strengthens the immune system. The amount of selenium present is beneficial for the thyroid, nails and hair, the immune system and male fertility. Iodine in oysters contributes to healthy skin, thyroid, nervous system, energy level and memory. Oysters are also a great source of vitamin B12, which is essential for a healthy immune system, nervous system, energy levels and red blood cell production. Last but not least, oysters contain the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, which are beneficial for the heart and maintaining normal blood pressure.
Oysters in Our Evolutionary History
Recent research has shown that fish consumption has played a crucial role in human evolution and contributed to the development of our modern brain. Brains thrive on fats, especially unsaturated fats with long fatty acid chains. Marine foods, including fish, seaweed, shellfish and oysters, are rich sources of these fats. Our ancestors, as they migrated along rivers and coasts, around the world, considered water an essential food source. This allowed their bodies to receive the fats that contributed to the development and rapid growth of our brains.
