Superfood of the Sea

Nutrients

Oysters deliver a concentrated dose of vital nutrients your body craves. They're incredibly rich in zinc, which supports immune health, wound healing, and hormone regulation. Just six oysters can provide over 500% of your daily recommended zinc intake. You’ll also find impressive levels of iron, selenium, copper, and vitamin B12—all crucial for energy, cellular health, and brain function.

Protein

One medium oyster contains around 4 grams of high-quality protein—which is surprisingly dense for such a small, low-calorie food. Even just a handful can deliver a meaningful protein boost, making oysters an unexpectedly powerful addition to a clean, lean diet. They provide all nine essential amino acids your body needs to build and repair tissue, without the added fats or carbs found in many other protein sources. Whether you’re fueling up post-workout or staying on track with whole-food nutrition, oysters offer a smart, efficient way to nourish your body.

Clean Eating

Because oysters are often consumed raw or lightly cooked, they retain nearly all of their nutrients—unlike many processed or heat-altered foods. This aligns with the principles of whole, clean eating. They’re also low in calories and fat, which means you get maximum nutritional benefit without excess—perfect for those who prioritize wellness without sacrificing flavor.

Health

Oysters are a natural source of omega-3 fatty acids—compounds known for reducing inflammation, supporting cardiovascular health, and improving cognitive function. Regular consumption may help lower blood pressure and support overall brain performance, making oysters more than just a treat—they’re a smart, heart-healthy choice.
