Healing of Cuts and Wounds - Zinc is essential for healthy skin and maintenance of mucosal membranes. Adequate levels of zinc is necessary for proper wound healing.(13)

Adequate Intake (%AI) - This value is primarily used in reference to omega-3 and omega-6 fats. The Adequate Intake is set by the U.S. Institute of Medicine. Because there is less evidence to determine the ideal targets for consumption of these nutrients, the specific amount is considered to be less reliable. Using the term Adequate Intake, rather than one of the other terms, helps to emphasize that the ideal intake of that particular nutrient has not yet been scientifically determined.Oysters are rich in selenium, which supports a number of cellular functions including heavy metal detoxification. Additionally, oyster soft tissue has a higher zinc (Zn) content than most seafoods ( Li et al., 2019). Zn-chelating peptides extracted from oysters have attracted wide attention. Chen et al. (2013) demonstrated that ( Figure 1) the peptide HLRQEEKEEVTVGSLK, produced via oyster protein hydrolysis, has the ability to bind Zhang et al., 2018 demonstrated that the OPH-Zn complex enhances Zn bioaccessibility.

A deficiency in zinc can lead to stunted growth, diarrhea, impotence, hair loss, eye and skin lesions, impaired appetite, and depressed immunity. Oyster Po’ Boy Sandwich: Create a classic New Orleans-style sandwich by layering crispy breaded oysters on a French roll with lettuce, tomato, and a tangy remoulade sauce.

Nutrients : “Effect of Zinc Supplementation on Growth Outcomes in Children under 5 Years of Age,” “Zinc in Wound Healing Modulation,” “Iron and Zinc Nutrition in the Economically-Developed World: A Review,” “Zinc in Infection and Inflammation.” Fortified Cereals: Some cereals are fortified with zinc, offering a convenient way to increase your intake of this vital mineral. Raw or undercooked oysters can put you at risk of infections, according to the CDC. This includes vibriosis. Effects can range from diarrhea to limb amputation and fatality. [21] Moreover, protein hydrolysates inhibit procollagen and matrix metalloproteinase-1 production, thereby improving skin health and the appearance of wrinkles ( Kim et al., 2015). The OP SSDNNDEAK downregulates genes and proteins associated with the cAMP signaling pathway in B16F10 cells, by reducing melanin production and tyrosinase activity ( Han et al., 2019). Recent studies on OPs also revealed that they have collagen-restoring capabilities (i.e., anti-wrinkle properties) ( Hao et al., 2021). Further, OPs promote sexual reproduction by increasing the expression of key regulatory proteins and androgens, thereby increasing serum estrogen levels and improving male sexual function ( Li et al., 2020). For instance, GnRH-like peptides (Cg-GnRH-a and Cg-GnRH-G) isolated from the visceral ganglion of oysters regulate neurological and endocrine factors and provide nutrition and energy for reproduction ( Bigot et al., 2012). Ridzwan et al. (2013) demonstrated the aphrodisiac properties of an ethanol extract of Crassostrea iredalei in mice and suggested that it could serve as an alternative therapy to

Oysters were once prized for their aphrodisiac properties. But we now know that their health benefits go far beyond it. Oysters may contain many essential vitamins and minerals which make them very beneficial for us. Health benefits might include the ability of oysters to aid in weight loss, increase bone strength, improve heart health, boost immunity, aid in wound healing, and promote healthy growth. They are known to be a powerful aphrodisiac, and may also increase bone strength to reduce osteoporosis. What are Oysters?
