OysterMax® Capsules - Healthy-Living

Oyster Max® — for Super Immunity and Greater Health!

What Our Oyster-Max® Tissue Extract Is:

Oyster Max® is encapsulated, dehydrated, pure, organic, oyster extract tissue, with maximum zinc content. The oysters are wild-harvested off the coast of Northern Ireland and dried at low temperatures. Each batch is carefully tested for pathogens and contaminants and rejected if any are found. Our oyster tissue is high in the assimilable minerals zinc, copper, selenium, iodine, and numerous other nutrients and contains no heavy metals. Each capsule of our highest potency oyster extract contains the oyster tissue of half of an oyster. The capsules are small and super convenient to take.

Why Should You Consume Our OysterMax® Capsules:

The main reason to consume OysterMax® Tissue Extract Capsules is that they contain significant amounts of the super-important minerals for the immune system, zinc, copper, selenium, and iodine. Beyond that, OysterMax® tissue is highly nourishing to one's cells. OysterMax® contains all the trace minerals of the ocean, and vitamins and amino acids — all naturally occurring and highly assimilable. These nutrients assimilate into your blood and cells to a much higher degree than with other foods or supplements with great results — studies show that supplementing with OysterMax® for just eight days can reduce free radical loads in the blood by 90%.

The oysters from which OysterMax® tissue extract capsules are made are harvested from specific, deep ocean regions off the coast of Northern Ireland.

These oysters contain the maximum possible amount of trace elements and no toxicity. Each batch of OysterMax® is analyzed for heavy metals, microbiological profile, and other listed analytical constituents so that you can be assured what the label says is accurate 100% of the time. OysterMax® contains no pathogens, mercury, or other heavy metals!

Oysters are the highest natural source of zinc, 10 times higher than the next highest source, grass-fed beef (grain-fed beef has half the zinc as grass-fed beef).

The minerals in Oyster Max® are naturally bound to free-form, amino acids that transport the minerals into the bloodstream without the need for digestion.

Laboratory studies have shown perfect assimilation of the minerals and amino acids in OysterMax®. And, happily, OysterMax® contains all essential amino acids, numerous vitamins, fatty acids, 59 trace elements and much more. It's truly a surefire way to help avoid nutrient deficiencies.

Oyster Max® does not contain any fillers or excipients. Because it is a naturally balanced food, there is no danger of becoming unbalanced if one takes higher doses than normal to replenish a low level of cellular zinc (which is common in North America). Each bottle of OysterMax® contains 120 Capsules.

OysterMax® is approved under Ireland's Sea Food Protection Authority (SFPA), and Health Executive Authority (HSA), and is registered with the Financial Services of Ireland. It is compliant with Commerce and Foreign Trade regulations for export to the USA (under the FDA).

OysterMax® — Begins With Superior Oyster Harvesting

The Oysters in OysterMax® are harvested wild from deep ocean regions that produce hardier and more nutrient-dense oyster tissue than shallow regions or farmed oysters — using techniques perfected by Stephen Kavanagh's family, who have harvested wild oysters for the past 100 years. Such oyster tissue is naturally high in zinc and the other co-factors that help wild, deep-ocean oysters to have powerful immune systems. Oysters from these North Atlantic locations are also free of heavy metals and man-made pollutants (as proved by continuous assays).

Supplementing the diet with a specific food that contains a high level of natural organic zinc can be an extremely valuable part of your overall health regime since 80% of everyone is deficient in zinc. OysterMax® also has important zinc co-factors such as copper, iodine, and selenium. The trace elements in OysterMax® are balanced with each other as nature intended, because they come from a natural living source, not from a chemical factory. Together these elements along with many of the other micro-nutrients in OysterMax® provide many health activations/benefits in the body, including superior free radical quenching, as discussed at this web page.

Ten Reasons Why OysterMax® Capsules Are a Superior Zinc Supplement

— by Stephen Kavanagh, Marine Biologist

Zinc deficiency affects over 80% of the adult population. It is a vital trace element required in over 300 enzyme reactions in the body. Athletes, pregnant and lactating women, sexually active males and anyone feeling the stresses and strains of modern life all have increased demands for zinc. The clinical range of the symptoms of zinc deficiency includes decreased immunity, low libido, poor skin, hair and nails, macular degeneration, prostate health issues, and hormonal imbalance.

For those of us who feel they need more zinc than our diet provides the job of choosing the right zinc supplement can be daunting as there are so many brands and stories on the market. Choosing oyster capsules is not something many may have considered, but as nature's highest source of naturally occurring zinc, they are certainly worth a try. The rest of this article will give you ten reasons why oyster extract capsules are the superior zinc supplement on the market today.

Oysters are the highest NATURAL source of ZINC, ten times higher in fact than the next source which is wild-range, grass-fed beef.
Oyster capsules not only contain zinc, but they also contain all of the 59 TRACE ELEMENTS our body needs for the correct physiological functioning of all the biochemical pathways.
The zinc in oyster capsules is naturally bound to amino acids which makes it very BIO-AVAILABLE. This is more effective than chelated zinc supplements and far superior to synthetic zinc supplements.
The zinc in oyster capsules is BALANCED with other key co-factor elements such as copper, manganese and selenium in a way that makes them work better together. This balancing is done by nature, as nature intended. No other zinc supplement can boast this fact.

Oyster capsules are not only high in zinc, but they also contain MANY OTHER INTERESTING COMPOUNDS which benefit general health. Studies have shown that these other compounds can increase Glutathione levels, counteract fatigue, increase immunity and improve sexual health.
Oyster capsules are classed as a Superfood. Because they are not synthetic there is NO DANGER OF UPSETTING the body's biochemistry by taking more than 4 capsules a day. People taking 12-16 capsules daily have reported zero fatigue. Many athletes take higher doses due to their increased demands with amazing results.
The holistic effect on the body's biochemistry of using oyster capsules has been well-documented since ancient times. In traditional Chinese medicine, oyster extract has been used for centuries for LIVER CLEANSING and SEXUAL HEALTH.

Oyster capsules are CUTTING-EDGE NUTRITION. Research is currently being carried out in several institutions around the world to investigate what other bio-active compounds they contain and to better understand the positive health benefits users report.
Oyster capsules are COST-EFFECTIVE. Taking them ensures your body's biochemistry is well balanced. Taking lots of synthetic, elemental trace element supplements in the hope of achieving the same result is far more risky and more expensive.
The production of oyster capsules is sustainable and because the oyster shells lock carbon out of the atmosphere there is a net REDUCTION IN ATMOSPHERIC CARBON from the process.

A cautionary note: Not all oyster extracts are the same. Some oysters can be up to 20 times more potent in terms on zinc concentration than others. This is due to differences in region and seasonal harvesting applied by the different manufacturers. This difference is also usually reflected in the price. Our oyster tissue does not include the shell as do some other manufacturers.

Some People Needlessly Avoid Oysters

Some people believe that Oysters are unsafe to eat, often recounting the idea that because oysters are bottom feeders that will concentrate into themselves pathogens, sewage, heavy metals, and other noxious elements. While that may be true of some specific oyster operations (we can't speak for all oyster harvesters), this idea is regrettable and wrong in the case of our wild oysters, which are superbly healthy and totally safe, coming from deeper, wild oceans not near man-made pollutants. We test every single batch of our OysterMax® product in order to prove their safety and purity.

Oysters harvested from deeper ocean depths and away from modern pollution are superbly healthy. Deep ocean oysters have greater access to expired plankton and seafoods that gravitate toward deeper ocean. Oysters greatly concentrate zinc, selenium, iodine, copper and other minerals and immune boosting complexes. It is these minerals and immune boosting complexes that make wild, deep-ocean oysters able to quickly destroy pathogens. Because oysters are open to the sea, their immune systems are extremely powerful and robust. The powerful, immune strengthening compounds in oysters can assist you to have a stronger immune system when you consume OysterMax®.

Oyster Max® and Avoiding Fatigue

Undoubtedly to give themselves superior pathogen fighting powers, oysters take zinc from ocean water and concentrate the zinc into their tissues. That's why OysterMax® has a high level of organic zinc. When consumed by humans this will enable people's cells to create more endogenous antioxidants, especially, super oxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione. Not only will these antioxidants help boost the immune system but will also help quench free radicals within the mitochondria and help prevent mitochondrial free radical overload which is a main cause of tiredness.

In general, Oyster Max® helps protect the body from oxidative stress. Studies show that consuming OysterMax® for just eight days reduced free radical blood stress by 90%. Endurance athletes, stressed out professionals working long hours, individuals exposed to environmental stresses such as UV light, smoking, excess alcohol consumption, may all suffer from higher than normal levels of oxidative stress and free radical build up. OysterMax® protects from the fatigue and tiredness associated with this oxidative stress. The bottom line is that you will be able to function optimally, longer, and under more stressful situations, which is why OysterMax ® is used by French Military Special Forces to increase the survivability of their troops.

Oyster Max® and Increasing Immunity

Oyster extract powder can boost the immune system.
Oyster extract powder can help ensure normal functioning of the immune system.
OysterMax® contains a minimum of 3.0 mg of natural organic zinc per 4 capsules (trace element concentrations in natural products can vary considerably). This is a safe amount of natural organic zinc to supplement your healthy varied diet. It also contains significant amounts of selenium, copper and iodine that all support the immune system.

Oyster tissue contains ten times more zinc than any other food/animal. Scientists believe the reason for this is that their system is "open" to the sea, allowing seawater (and whatever is in it) to freely enter inside them, including pathogens. Therefore, they need to have a very strong immune system in order to kill the harmful bacteria that enter. The process by which oysters kill those bacteria involves sending out large amounts of free radicals to attack and destroy the harmful bacteria. Unfortunately, those free radical attack forces will do collateral damage to the oyster's own tissues unless the oyster's own tissues can protect themselves. In order to protect themselves, oysters intake large amounts of zinc from the ocean water in order to produce large amounts of the fastest-acting antioxidant, namely, super oxide dismutase, which can neutralize immune system generated free radicals. The nice part for us that that eating Oyster Max® allows us to have more zinc and more super oxide dismutase inside us, as well as many other trace minerals and nutrients that boost immune function — so that our immune systems react quickly and powerfully to pathogens. This is a powerful reason to consume OysterMax®.

OysterMax® and Healthier Pregnancy

Pregnancy dramatically increases nutritional demands for expectant mothers. If a pregnant mother isn't eating enough of a particular nutrient to supply both her own body and the developing baby's body, nature favors the baby. That nutrient will be taken from the mother's own body and be supplied to the baby. The mother's health will decrease as a result. Of course, if a nutrient low supply in the mother's body, it is possible that neither the baby nor the mother will have enough of it for optimal health. That's why all pregnant mothers are encouraged to eat as nutritiously as possible, so that neither their own health or the health of their baby suffers.

Because OysterMax® is natural and contains all the nutrition of the sea (all the essential amino acids, fatty acids, minerals, trace minerals and vitamins) it is the perfect supplement to help meet those increased nutritional demands during pregnancy so that both the baby and mother can be optimally healthy and the baby can grow perfectly. Unlike raw oysters, it is also completely safe for pregnant mothers. Check out this articles regarding healthy pregnancy:

OysterMax® for Beautiful Hair and Skin

OysterMax® nutrients help significantly:

Zinc and Iodine contribute to the maintenance of beautiful hair, nails and skin.
Copper contributes to beautiful hair and skin pigmentation
Copper, Zinc and Selenium contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress
OysterMax® contains high levels of amino acids. Free amino acids are very useful as they do not need to be digested and they enter the blood stream directly and go to where the body needs them most. Three of these, Glutamic acid, glycine and Cysteine are the building blocks for collagen. Free Cysteine is normally toxic to the body and having a non-toxic source of bio-available Cysteine is very advantageous for collagen production in the body. The rest of the amino acids in OysterMax® are involved in the manufacture of enzymes, antioxidants and structural proteins such as keratin.

OysterMax® and Delayed Aging

OysterMax® oyster supplement contains many of the building blocks for the body’s antioxidant defenses. Free radical damage is one of the major causes of premature aging in tissues, especially the skin, where wrinkles and damaged skin often result as one ages.
Also, free radicals attack joints and create joint stiffness and pain. Free radical damage in the mitochondria reduces the mitochondria's ability to produce energy and leads to overall loss of vitality and endurance.
Skin aging, joint stiffness and loss of energy are three of the most noticeable and unwelcome aspects of aging. OysterMax® helps combat all of these, helping one to stay "young" much later in life.

OysterMax® and Better Sexual Health

OysterMax® nutrients support the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood. High levels of zinc are found in sperm and the prostate gland. Sperm contain 700 times more zinc than is found in blood plasma. The prostate contains more zinc than any other organ in the body. Therefore, it is extra important for men to seek good dietary sources of zinc. Oysters are the single best source of zinc (much better than chelates or any other laboratory produced form of zinc supplementation). Oysters also boost dopamine, a hormone that increases libido and sense of well-being in both men and women.

OysterMax® and Better Cardiovascular Health

OysterMax® nutrients help maintain the metabolism of fatty acids, which fatty acids are essential to cardiovascular health. Also, its zinc and copper content help form antioxidants that protect the cardiovascular system from damage. Finally, copper is essential to the integrity of cardiovascular linings. Oysters are also high in potassium and magnesium which can help reduce your risk of heart attack, stroke and lower blood pressure. A study done by the University of Washington found that eating oysters can help raise the HDLs (good cholesterol levels) and lower the LDL’s (bad cholesterol levels).

Oyster extract is the dried flesh of the oyster

Oysters are harvested, opened and their flesh is removed and powdered through a drying process that kills all bacteria. One of the secrets of OysterMax® is that they are harvested at those seasons when zinc content is its highest. Oyster powder is mineral rich — it contains all minerals and trace minerals needed by the body (because they are present in the ocean and concentrated in the oyster flesh) as well as vitamins, amino acids, taurine and omega oils. Oysters have the highest natural source of the trace element zinc. Only oyster extract harvested at times of the year when zinc potency is highest can boast this claim, and very few of the companies making oyster extract recognize this.

Why Oyster Max® Concentrates Zinc, Copper, Selenium and Iodine Within Itself

Our oyster powder contains natural, organic, bio-available zinc in greater amounts than any other food on planet earth. The oyster accumulates zinc to much higher levels than any other animal known. The reason for this zinc accumulation surely has a lot to do with the oysters immune system. The oyster operates an open circulation system and when invading bacteria enter the oyster, the oyster’s immune response must immediately spring into action. During this defense a process called the ‘metabolic burst’ occurs which results in the destruction of the invading pathogen but also results in the release of large amounts of free radicals which could harm the oyster's own tissues and organs (a type of collateral damage) if the free radical burst were not eliminated. To mop up the excess burst of free radicals the oyster produces large quantities of an anti-oxidant called SOD or superoxide dismutase. However to make SOD the oyster needs large amounts of zinc, and this is considered to be the most likely reason why they have such high levels of zinc in their bodies.

The good news for us is that since most of us are very low in zinc, eating oysters allows us to also have a very significant benefit to our own immunity and free radical defense systems. The zinc in OysterMax® comes bound in transport molecules that will make it highly bio available as opposed to the synthetic and chelated alternatives that aren't so bio-available.

You Are What You Eat — Which is Why We Recommend Oyster Max®

Stephen Kavanagh - Founder of Marine Health, maker of OysterMax®

Stephen Kavanagh is the marine biologist who is responsible for bringing OysterMax® to the market. He has 30 years experience in marine science and is passionate about human health. Here he is pictured at his restaurant, the Temple Bar Food Market, in Dublin.

How he got started with OysterMax in his own words: "I’ve always loved the sea. My father was a master mariner so growing up in Arklow, you could say [my brothers and I] had salt water in our blood from an early age. I spent a few weeks on the Bord Iascaigh Mhara (BIM) research vessel on the Irish Sea and then studied for a year at NUI Galway. After finishing my degree at the School of Ocean Sciences in North Wales I worked in London, then later in the oyster business on the West Coast.

When I came back home I started my own company processing oysters. I always tell people my business is really about four or five businesses — as I started as an artisan producer processing oysters and then we evolved into extracts and other activities.

When it comes to health the best way to eat oysters is fresh, but not everybody can get fresh, safe oysters, so for anyone worried about nutritional deficiencies, oyster extract capsules are a good way to go. While we still supply restaurants and delis with smoked oysters we’re also supplying integrative doctors in France and the US with products which they use in their work of helping people to be healthy."

Food is the way of health not vitamins!

Oyster Max fits with the “first rule of health” which is that food should be our medicine. Oyster Max also fits with our second rule of health, which is that food engenders health, not vitamins. The United States has among the worst health statistics of all industrialized nations, yet the people of the United States consume more vitamins that the rest of the world combined. That means that you will eventually find, as so many others have already found, that your health will never really start to improve until you give up on vitamins and turn to food. It's time to turn to food!

Vitamins, IE nutrient isolates (often made in a laboratory), may look powerful and awesome on the label, but they don’t work as well in the human body as one would hope because they lack the many needed co-factors. Food comes with many needed co-factors nutrients.
The lack of co-factors is the basic problem of vitamin supplements. Without those co-factors, they're NOT as useful to our cells. For instance, Vitamin C is not just ascorbic acid but rather it is: ascorbic acid and numerous co-factors that work in the cells like catalysts or tag teams to make chemical reactions occur. The many co-factors are present in foods, but are not in vitamin isolates. The result, therefore, of taking vitamins is that the body has to scavenge body tissues to obtain the needed co-factors, or wait until they are available or the body may simply discard the nutrients for which co-factors are not available. This is extra work and/or a waste of nutrients, and therefore, vitamin isolates, do far less to improve health than does food.

What are Signs of Zinc Deficiency?

Poor Immunity

The first signs of zinc deficiency can be noticed if you’re falling sick more often than usual. The immunity system which fights infection and disease to keep you free from any diseases does so, with the help of zinc. Along with that, zinc helps not only in cell growth but also in cell ‘suicide’ whereby, cells that are no longer useful or can become a threat to your health are being programmed to die. A deficiency of the zinc can have a negative impact on this process which can have serious consequences.

Loss of Taste and Smell

If you notice that you are losing your sense of taste and smell, it could be due to lack of zinc in the body. An adequate level of zinc is required to produce carbonic anhydrase, an enzyme that is vital is sending the taste and smell. Hence experts recommend you to intake zinc in adequate quantity.

Damaged nails

If your nails are damaged or are growing very slowly, it may be due to deficiency of zinc in the body. As zinc plays an important role in cell division and growth, a deficiency of the same may have an undesirable impact on your hair and nails.

If you notice white flecks or lines on your nails, there’s a high chance that it is because of zinc deficiency in the body.

Skin Problems

A suboptimal level of zinc in the body can also lead to the appearance of pimples, cystic acne or even rashes. As the zinc has anti-inflammatory properties and also protects the skin against UV radiations, a deficiency of the same can have an undesirable impact on your skin.

Slow Wound healing

One of the other warning signs which can reveal the lack of zinc level in the body is when you experience poor wound healing. If the healing of the wound is taking much longer than usual, it might be due to deficiency of this vital nutrient. As you notice the same, you can step up the intake of zinc, or you can also intake zinc supplements which will help you with this regard.

Loss of vision

Memory loss or lack of attention

Zinc has found to be an important nutrient when it comes to forming memory and also cognitive stability, as zinc helps in regulating communication between neurons and the hippo-campus to boost memory and learning capabilities.

Studies have found that a supply of 50% of daily requirement of zinc can dramatically improve your memory power.

Acute stress

Zinc is responsible not only to boost your memory and learning skills, but it also plays an important role in regulating your brain’s response to stress. Studies found that in most cases people suffering from depression were lacking a supply of adequate zinc. Also, lesser levels of zinc have been directly linked to high depression.

Oyster Max® - Frequently Asked Questions

What makes OysterMax® different?

Bio-availability of minerals and amino acids is the key difference! — All of the nutrients of Oyster Max® are not only organic; but also 100% bio-available. The trace elements in OysterMax® are naturally bound to transport molecules (peptides, amino acids) which makes them 100% bio-available. The high concentration of free amino acids and peptides are also directly available to the blood once consumed making them very fast acting. Synthetic mineral supplements need to bind to transport molecules during digestion before then can be absorbed, which may affect their bio-availability. All of the trace elements in OysterMax® are present in significant yet balanced concentrations, ensuring they all work in harmony and do not disrupt the body as unbalanced mineral supplements do. None of the nutrients in OysterMax® are present in concentrations that could upset your bodies natural mineral and nutrient balance. In fact, over time, consumption of Oyster Max® will balance the minerals in one's body.

Why Does Oyster Max® Help Ensure Peak Human Performance?

Oyster extract powder helps ensure peak hormonal and enzymatic functioning by ensuring a supply of a full spectrum of minerals and trace elements (that is assured through the oyster's unique concentrating of ocean minerals). Essentially, OysterMax® is the best mineral supplement on earth. With continued use, it will ensure that your body is well supplied with all minerals and trace minerals, which are the foundation of health.

Have you ever had that feeling that you are missing something in your diet... that you do just not feel up to par... that you know there is some imbalance in you... but you don't know exactly what it is? Most often, the cause is a lack of minerals which manifests itself in inadequate hormonal and enzymatic expression. Oyster extract is one of the best tools that we can use to eliminate that possibility.

Blood tests, hair analysis and other diagnostic tools can help you determine the deficiencies (although they can be expensive and must be interpreted by experts in nutrition who understand the body's ability to maintain normal blood minerals while being very deficient in minerals in actual tissues).

Taking OysterMax® will help balance you without the need for those tests. It can do this because it has everyone of the 59 trace elements that the body needs. They are present in OysterMax® in sufficient and 100% bio-available amounts (bio-available because they are bound to amino acids and will pass through the intestines and achieve virtually perfection absorption). So, by taking OysterMax® regularly, your body will overtime come towards a correct balance of minerals and trace minerals... and you can soon rule out mineral and trace mineral deficiency as a cause of poor energy. The nicest part is that you don't have to worry about unbalancing yourself as would occur with single minerals or even a collection of some minerals. OysterMax® has all of them.

The natural balance of OysterMax® is so important to remember because when taking a single mineral or only a few minerals, you can easily and unwittingly unbalance yourself and create additional problems. With OysterMax®, this does not happen, as the total array of trace elements are presented in a balanced biochemical matrix (IE Oyster tissue). Each and every one of the trace elements we need are presented in balanced concentrations.

The results speak for themselves. Improved energy levels, stronger immunity, smoother complexion and better sexual health. All these benefits come from ensuring the trace elements necessary for peak performance in all these biochemical systems are balanced, by nature-as nature intended.

Also, remember that some cheap oyster extract products on the market can have up to 60% tapioca starch mixed in along with other bulking agents. Only choose pure, high zinc, oyster extract capsules from OysterMax®

Why is OysterMax® So Good for the Prostate?

Prostate problems affect a large percentage of the male population over 50 years of age. These problems manifest as hyperplasia or swelling of the prostate, impotence issues, urinary issues and worst of all, cancer issues. Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men and 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. Factors such as age, lifestyle and family history are all significant in the onset of prostate problems. However men should be familiar with one very important aspect to prostate health over which they have complete control and this is the area of zinc nutrition.

Please Describe the Manufacturing Process for Making OysterMax?

First, our incoming oysters and our outgoing batches undergo rigorous testing for microbiological activity, trace minerals and heavy metals. We get numerous inspections here every year. We have always passed these tests, but if a batch were to not meet our standards, it would be rejected. Second, we use a very slow convection drying process at approximately 35 degrees centigrade (just under 100 degrees Fahrenheit). We use this method in order to preserve the bio-activity of the oyster tissue. It takes three to four days to dry the oyster meat. Previously, we tried all sorts of drying technology in the past, such as freeze drying (lyophilization), spray drying etc. We eventually settled on our current process which was jointly developed with our client feedback and numerous integrative and nutritional doctors. Everyone is very happy with the results of this process. Our drying technology has not changed in fifteen years now.

Additionally:

Oysters used are naturally sourced in a sustainable manner (wild harvested and not over-harvested).
Oysters are delivered and processed on the same day.
All processing takes place in a food grade environment.
No Vitamins or Minerals are added artificially making them Highly Bioavailable.
Due to the low resulting moisture content after drying, OysterMax® is stable throughout shelf life and can be stored up to 3 years from production.
Quality checks are carried out both in house and by external accredited labs during production.
Full traceability is maintained.

Research conducted at the Linus Pauling institute in Oregon State University has shown that prostate swelling usually precedes prostate cancer. This swelling or hyperplasia as it is known has also been shown to be associated with zinc deficiency. While they did not conclude that this swelling was a precursor to prostate cancer, it is almost always seen prior to the onset of the disease. They also showed in the course of these investigations (in vitro) that this prostate swelling could be reduced by adequate zinc intake. In fact the prostate cells that were beginning to swell underwent programmed cell death or apoptosis when zinc deficiency was corrected.

The prostate gland contains the highest concentration of zinc of any organ in the human body. Science is unsure of the reason for this but cancerous prostate glands have been shown to have less zinc than healthy ones. Going back to the research in Oregon, it was also noted that the role of zinc might be more of a preventative one as supplementation had little effect on already cancerous prostate cells. That said, zinc has many other important functions in the body especially around immunity so anyone diagnosed with prostate cancer should not ignore zinc nutrition.

So maintaining an adequate supply of good quality zinc would appear to be a good policy in helping to prevent the onset of prostate problems. However deciding on the right zinc supplement is not as easy as you may think. They are many synthetic ones on the market and research has shown that taking zinc on its own may upset the delicate balance it maintains with other trace elements in the body. For example, copper absorption may be affected by taking too much zinc. As copper and zinc are needed together in a large number of enzyme processes in the body, we must be careful to respect the balance.

Oyster extract is a very good source of organic zinc. However it not only contains zinc, but all of the 59 trace elements the body needs. These are balanced by nature, as nature intended. In fact oysters contain 10 times more zinc than any other food on earth or in the sea. A good quality oyster extract will contain at least 3mg of zinc for every 1g of powder. Some however can be as low as 0.1mg for every 1g of powder and these brands are obviously less effective. These low potency brands also tend to come from places like New Zealand, Japan and China where oysters are not harvested with this zinc potency in mind. That's why you should always be sure to choose OysterMax®

Scientific Research Regarding OysterMax®

Further research is currently being carried out on OysterMax® both in Ireland in 2 Universities, and by the Cellular and Microbiological Unit of the French Army to see what other bio-active properties OysterMax® contains. The French investigation is being carried out as troops operating in hostile situations undergo massive oxidative stress on the body, and they want to see how OysterMax® can help alleviate some of the fatigue and illness associated with this. We will keep our customers updated on new findings as they occur.

I started taking Oyster Max capsules about 2 months ago, and it has drastically changed the way my day goes! I work two jobs, and I can get through both jobs and still have energy. My body doesn’t seem to get as easily tired and sore as it used too! A 13 hour day of work goes by, my mood is way more stable as well. I feel like I just have so much more sustainable energy! People have actually been asking me how I stay so uplifting and energetic. I always tell them about the oyster max and how much of a difference it’s shown me! I found it helps me wake up energized in the mornings as well! No more groggy and complaining all day! I don’t even crave or need coffee! Just pure happiness!!! Nothing has ever made such a drastic difference like how Your product has. I’m super stoked to get into full-time school as well here soon, knowing that I’ll have the safe and sufficient energy to get through everything and still be working!! Oyster max has come into my life in the most perfect timing!! So grateful for this incredible company and everything they do! Completely sparked up a sustainable energy I didn’t know existed. No crash or anything, so natural and beautiful! Sydney
