Our oysters are harvested on a shellfish farm in British Columbia, Canada, having been raised in pristine coastal waters which are government approved and certified. They are then carefully processed in federally inspected and registered facilities, under strictly enforced health regulations.
The zinc content of oyster may also have other benefits. Zinc is a proven immunity booster and may therefore help prevent colds and flu. Optimal zinc intake also promotes growth, mental alertness and aids in proper brain function. According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition most people only get about one half of the recommended daily intake for zinc (15 mg. for adults). And just ONE oyster provides close to your entire daily requirements!
Oysters also contain Omega 3 fatty acids, known to help prevent heart disease.
A Natural Aphrodisiac!
Oysters, have always been linked with love. Look what oysters did for Casanova - it is said that he consumed up to 60 oysters a day! Since that time, many have related this phenomena to the excellent nutrient content of oysters - especially vitamin E and Zinc. Others say the true aphrodisiac capacity of an oyster really depends on the dopamine content. Dopamine is a vital element that governs brain activity and influences sexual desire.
