Introducing Oysterzinc, by Smidge®, a pure zinc supplement made from fresh oysters — aka the highest food source of zinc! Here to support your immune system with natural, whole-food zinc when you're in need.*

Oysterzinc is 100% oyster powder, made in small batches from only the meat of the oyster (no shells!). No additives or fillers either.

Each bottle contains the goodness of over 60 hand-shucked oysters. Smidge® combed the world to find the best food source of zinc, partnering with a small aquaculture family in Ireland, where long-time oystermen sustainably harvest oysters from the sparkling Atlantic coastline.

Their process involves slow, gentle convection drying under a low temperature to preserve bioactivity and nutrient integrity, making for the most potent oyster extract around. 

Why a natural zinc supplement from oysters?

Oysters contain the most zinc in any food — 10 times higher than the next richest source, red meat!* But eating an oyster or taking an oyster zinc supplement differs from popping a commercial zinc tablet in an isolated form. Taking zinc in an isolated form can upset the body's natural mineral and nutrient balance, as it doesn't include zinc's inherent nutritional cofactors. For instance, the body's important copper reserve can become depleted if zinc is taken on its own.

Smidge® Oysterzinc is:

•     High in naturally-occurring zinc
•     100% oyster extract
•     Supports the immune system
•     Food source of zinc
•     Non-GMO & no fillers
•     Free of common allergens

Because Smidge® Oysterzinc is a real food with all of its cofactors, it naturally provides an excellent source of zinc. Its natural cofactors include: peptides, amino acids and organic nutrients, making it bioavailable and easy to absorb.* Plus, it’s rich in naturally occurring vitamin B12 and copper, and a good source of iodine. It also has selenium, which is an antioxidant, like zinc!*

What does Oysterzinc do?

When you feel the sniffles or aches coming on, or the stuffiness that precludes a head cold, Oysterzinc can support your immune system.* This is because zinc is a vital mineral that your body uses in hundreds of ways. Primarily, to nourish and support the immune system. See, the human body needs zinc to activate T lymphocytes (T cells), which help the body control and regulate immune responses.* Zinc has also been found to shorten the duration of the common cold and to ease the symptoms when taken within 24 hours of the onset.*

On the other hand, zinc deficiency can do a number on immune system function, causing increased susceptibility to various pathogens and a host of health issues. Researchers have discovered that improving zinc levels through diet and supplementation may ease inflammation.*

More health benefits of taking zinc supplements - In addition to loving up your immune system, zinc has myriad documented health benefits. Scientific studies state that zinc may support:

•     Skin integrity and structure*
•     Brain health*
•     Growth, development and cognition in babies and children*
•     Sperm quality and male fertility*
•     Eye health*
•     Occasional diarrhea*

Still wondering what more awaits once you pry open that clamped silvery shell? Oysters are bursting with:

    19 amino acids (including taurine)
    59 trace minerals
    12 vitamins
    Omega-3 DHA and EPA*

All of these goodies are naturally present in sensible concentrations, so they can harmoniously work inside your body.
