OysterMax Oyster Extract is sourced only from carefully-selected oysters grown in the clean, unpolluted Atlantic waters of the West of Ireland. These waters are constantly monitored by the Irish Department of the Marine. The quality of the waters in which oysters grow is important as, being filter feeders, they can become contaminated in the more polluted and less monitored environments from which some other oyster extracts are derived.
Several of you have asked us if there are any PFAS (also known as forever chemicals) in OysterMax® so they went and got it tested for them!
Below are the results for OysterMax® - as you can see there were no PFAS detected (below the Limit of Quantification).
Just another way for you to know you're getting the highest quality oyster extract on the market!
But what are PFAS?
PFAS is an abbreviation for per- and poly-fluoroalkylated substances. They are a very large group of thousands of man-made chemicals that have multiple fluorine atoms attached to a carbon chain also known as the "forever chemicals". They’re called “forever chemicals" because they are nearly indestructible.
Three points to keep in mind regarding PFAS's:
- The structure of PFAS means they resist breakdown in the environment and in turn our bodies.
- Their contamination is hard to contain
For some PFAS, even extremely low levels of exposure can negatively impact human health

OysterMax AND FATIGUE:
The free amino acids in OysterMax have been clinically proven to protect the body from oxidative damage. Endurance athletes, stressed out professionals, individuals exposed to environmental stresses such as UV light, smoking, excess alcohol consumption, all suffer from higher than normal levels of oxidative stress/free radical build up. The fatigue and tiredness associated with this oxidative stress has been shown to be reduced by taking OysterMax.
The trace elements in OysterMax are known to control over 300 enzyme reactions in the body. Many of these regulate processes, which govern the way energy is created and utilised by the body. For example, OysterMax contains the building blocks for some of the enzymes, which regulate insulin production, which in turn controls blood sugar levels. Fatigue can also occur in cases of heavy metal toxicity. OysterMax contains selenium, which has an antagonistic relationship with mercury and can therefore help detoxify the body.
Oyster extract has been used traditionally for centuries for liver cleansing and the trace elements in OysterMax have been shown to be beneficial in aiding the release of energy from the liver.
OysterMax AND IMMUNITY:
OysterMax can help boost the immune response in a number of ways. The high organic zinc content can stimulate the thymus gland to produce thymulin. Thymulin regulates T-cells and T4 Helper cells which are key to the bodys immune defence system. However, cutting edge research from the US has recently shown that too much or too little zinc can knock the immune system out of balance.
OysterMax AND PREGNANCY:
Pregnancy dramatically increases nutritional demands for expectant mothers. RDAs for many nutrients increase during this time and also during lactation. For example, the RDA for zinc increases from 8mg daily to 12 mg daily during pregnancy and lactation. Zinc deficiency during pregnancy has been linked to low birth weight and premature delivery. OysterMax is the perfect supplement to help meet those increased nutritional demands as it contains all the constituents necessary for healthy growth.
OysterMax AND SKIN CONDITIONS:
OysterMax can help the skin maintain collagen and keratin production. It can promote tissue repair, has an anti-inflammatory effect and contains the building blocks for the enzymes which destroy damaged cells before they have a chance to become cancerous. Weak, brittle nails, dull hair, spilt ends, and many skin conditions like acne, eczema and psoriasis can be ameliorated by using OysterMax.
OysterMax AND ANTI-AGING:
OysterMax oyster supplement contains all of the building blocks for the bodys antioxidant defences. Free radical damage is one of the major causes of premature ageing in tissues, especially the skin. Free radical damage in the cells also reduces the cells ability to produce energy and leads to overall loss of vitality and endurance. Clinical work on OysterMax showed that after 8 days, oxidative stress in the blood was reduced by 90%. This proved that OysterMax has great potential to help reduce the causes of premature aging.
OysterMax AND SEXUAL HEALTH:
Trace elements in OysterMax are known to increase free testosterone in the blood, which promotes increased libido in both sexes. For men the high organic zinc content in OysterMax can increase sperm production and maintain good prostate health. Sperm contain 700 times more zinc than is found in blood plasma and the prostate contains more zinc than any other organ in the body. Low zinc levels can result in prostate swelling, low sperm counts and loss of libido.
OysterMax AND BLOOD PRESSURE:
Research carried out in 2006 by Japanese researchers showed that components found in OysterMax improved lipid metabolism and suppressed increases in blood pressure. As such it has been shown to be a physiologically functional food capable of improving cardiovascular health.
THE ZINC CONNECTION:
The oysters in OysterMax are specifically targeted for harvesting to provide the maximum amount of trace elements available. Oysters are the highest natural source of zinc, 10 times higher in fact than the next source, which is red meat. However, it also has important zinc co-factors such as manganese, copper and selenium. Taking synthetic zinc on its own can be dangerous as too much is as bad as too little and other elements like copper can become depleted if zinc is taken on its own. The trace elements in OysterMax are balanced with each other as nature intended, because they come from an animal source, not from a chemical factory. Together these elements along with many of the other micronutrients in OysterMax provide the building blocks for over 300 enzymes in the body. These are involved in reactions that control everything from the way we look and feel to strong immunity and healthy libido.
WHAT MAKES OYSTERMAX DIFFERENT?
THE BIO AVAILABILITY ISSUE:
OysterMax is a natural shellfish extract. All of the nutrients are organic in origin making them 100% bio-available. The trace elements in OysterMax are bound to transport molecules (peptides, amino acids) which makes them considerably more 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 on the other hand need to bind to transport molecules during digestion before then can be absorbed, which may affect their bioavailability. All of the trace elements in OysterMax are present in significant yet balanced concentrations, ensuring they all work in harmony as nature intended. None of the nutrients in OysterMax are present in concentrations that could upset your bodies natural mineral and nutrient balance.
THE LATEST RESEARCH:
Further research is currently being carried out by our company on OysterMax both in Ireland in 2 Universities, and by the Cellular and Microbiological Unit of the French Army to see what other bioactive 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.
OysterMax are very proud of their on going research and keep theirr customers updated on new findings as they occur via e-newsletter.
