Smidge Oysterzinc 120 Capsules
Please note that this product has a best before date of end of July 2026
Smidge Oysterzinc is 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.*
Smidge Oysterzinc is 100% oyster powder, made in small batches from only the meat of the oyster (no shells!). No additives or fillers either.
Each bottle contains the goodness of over 60 oysters that are harvested from the pristine Atlantic ocean waters in Ireland, making for the most potent oyster extract around. Our process involves slow, gentle convection drying under a low temperature to preserve bioactivity and nutrient integrity.
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 is different than popping a synthetic zinc tablet.
Taking synthetic zinc in an isolated form can upset the body's natural mineral and nutrient balance, as synthetic supplements don'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.
Smidge Oysterzinc's natural co-factors include peptides, amino acids and organic nutrients, making it bioavailable and easy to absorb. You can also enjoy its vitamin B12, iodine, selenium and copper.*
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.
120 capsules (1-month supply)

Zinc health benefits
Zinc is an important mineral that plays a vital role in protein synthesis and helps regulate cell production. It’s mostly found in the strongest muscles of the body, and it’s especially concentrated in the white and red blood cells, retina, skin, liver, kidneys, bones and pancreas. The semen and prostate gland in men also contain significant amounts of zinc.
In the human body, there are more than 300 different enzymes that require zinc to function normally.
Yet zinc deficiency is common. It occurs when people don’t eat enough foods that contain zinc or have problems absorbing and using zinc from foods due to digestive issues or poor gut health, like leaky gut syndrome.
Those most at risk for zinc deficiency include:
- Anyone following a plant-based diet that doesn’t include meat or dairy products
- People who have severe stomach-acid issues and chronic digestive problems like leaky gut syndrome
- Alcoholics
- Women taking the birth control pill or who are on hormone replacement drugs
Zinc helps support the immune and digestive systems, blood sugar levels, a healthy metabolism and the skin (people with eczema often use zinc).
Also, it is helpful in terms of pregnancy, stress control, hair care, common colds and eye care.
