About
About
Oyster extract, derived from oyster meat, offers several scientific benefits due to its rich nutrient composition. Oysters are a notable source of zinc, a mineral essential for men's sexual and reproductive health, heart health, and immune system function.
Oysters undergo depuration to remove contaminants, ensuring safety for consumption.
The extract contains easily absorbable zinc, along with nutrients like selenium, protein, calcium, taurine, vitamin C, omega-3 fatty acids, and iron. This nutrient profile supports overall human health, including mental, muscular, and immune system well-being.
Oyster extract is a convenient and cost-effective way to supplement one's diet with these minerals and antioxidants, especially for maintaining robust health into old age.

Possible Side Effects
Possible Side Effects
Oyster Extract is SAFE for consumption.
Given that oysters are shellfish, anyone with a shellfish allergy should avoid oyster extract as well. The protein in oysters, tropomyosin, triggers the allergic reaction for those sensitive to it.
The high levels of zinc in oysters sometimes cause gastrointestinal effects, such as cramps, vomiting and diarrhea, as well as stomach pain. Once zinc levels in the body return to normal, these symptoms will go away.
Constipation is a frequent side effect of both iron and vitamin C consumption, so you might experience it with oysters and oyster extract.
