Since your immune system is in charge of keeping you fit, healthy and free of illness and disease, it’s crucial to feed your body nutrients and minerals that will help strengthen it. Our Pacific Oysters are a rich source of Vitamin D, Copper, Zinc, Manganese, Selenium, Iron and Vitamin B12. Zinc plays a vital role in your immune system health, metabolism and cell growth.

Additionally, oysters are beneficial in supporting brain and heart health. The Vitamin B12 found in oysters has been shown to improve memory and aid in maintaining healthy nerves and red blood cells. In regard to heart health, oysters can help in many ways. Oysters are low in fat and moderate in cholesterol. They have high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, a healthy form of cholesterol. These nutrients can also help maintain heart rate, lower blood pressure, ease inflammation and protect against heart disease.

What we love the most about oysters is that they are calorie friendly! On average, a half-dozen of medium fresh oysters contain about 50 calories. Meaning you can consume as many as you desire, guilt free. Oysters are also high in protein. One oysters can have up to 2g of protein depending on size. With that being said, don’t hesitate to reach for oysters next time you get hungry, after all, they can help improve your well-being and overall quality of life.
