- 120 capsules = 1-month supply
Introducing Oysterzinc, 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.*
Our Oysterzinc is 100% oyster powder from fresh oysters off the coast of Ireland. Made in small batches from only the meat of the oyster (no shells!). No additives or fillers either.
Our process involves slow, gentle convection drying under a low temperature to preserve bioactivity and nutrient integrity, making for the most potent oyster extract around.*
Dosage Directions
Always start with a smidge! Take four capsules at once, per day, or as directed by a certified healthcare practitioner. (See "low and slow" note below).
Sensitive individuals (adults): One capsule, once daily. May increase dose over time if needed.
Start low and slow: Our supplements are premium, pure and potent. Therefore, it's critically important to start slowly, with a lower dosage than recommended. For example, a minimal dose every other day, or even once a week, until you can determine how the supplement affects your body and what feels right for you.

Sustainably sourced from Ireland’s Atlantic coastline
60 oysters per bottle, sustainably sourced from the sparkling Atlantic coastline in Ireland
Each bottle contains the goodness of over 60 hand-shucked oysters.
And, we combed the world to find you 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.
Here’s more...
When sourcing our oysters, we take a conservation-driven approach aimed at preserving native species and supporting the survival of endangered varieties. We derive the extract from Crassostrea gigas, harvested at their peak nutritional levels – carefully considering various growth parameters, including geographical, temporal and seasonal factors. This precise approach is informed by decades of expertise in marine biology.
Then, the oysters are promptly shucked and gently convection-dried at low temperatures. This method is designed to preserve the oysters' nutritional content, with meticulous monitoring of temperature, moisture and water activity. Finally, the dried oysters are finely ground, encapsulated and carefully hand-filled into bottles.
Meanwhile, shells are returned to the ocean to support marine restoration, providing a habitat that encourages the growth of baby oysters.
Oysterzinc nutrients
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!*
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.
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.
Immune system support
When you feel the sniffles or aches coming on, or the stuffiness that precludes a head cold, Oysterzinc may support your immune system. *
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 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 zinc supplementation
In addition to nourishing your immune system, zinc has myriad documented health benefits. Scientific studies state that zinc may support:
- Skin integrity and structure*
- Brain health*
- Sperm quality and male fertility*
- Eye health*
- Occasional diarrhea*
- Growth, development and cognition in babies and children*

What is in Smidge® Oysterzinc?
-
Oysters: The oyster (from the Ostreoidea family) is a salt-water mollusk with a rock-hard, irregularly shaped shell encasing a fleshy, slimy, plump body. With their delicate, toothy texture, umami flavor and briny liquid, folks love to consume them cooked or raw as a delicacy. Our Oysterzinc is the extract of fresh oysters, produced on the lush coastlines of Ireland under a proprietary process that preserves bioactivity and purity. Thanks to oysters’ abundant nutrients, zinc is bound in peptides and amino acids with essential cofactors, for fantastic bioavailability. These nutrients include naturally-occurring vitamin B12, iodine, selenium and copper.*
-
Vegetarian capsule: Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), water. Our vegetable (vegan) capsules consist of HPMC and purified water. HPMC is derived from vegetable cellulose of either pine or poplar. These capsules contain no preservatives, no gelatin, wheat, animal by-products or starch.
