Our Smidge® Oystersinz is a pure zinc supplement made from fresh oysters — aka the highest natural food source of zinc!
Several key nutrients found in our Oysterzinc, including zinc, selenium, copper, vitamin B12, and iodine, may play a role in maintaining and protecting eye health.
Zinc supports the retina and boosts vitamin A function, helping to protect against night blindness and reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration. Selenium acts as a powerful antioxidant, working with zinc to protect the eyes from oxidative damage, which can lead to cataracts and age-related macular degeneration.
Copper may help prevent oxidative stress in the eyes and supporting collagen production, which maintains the structure of the cornea and eye integrity. Vitamin B12 helps maintain the health of the optic nerve, preventing nerve damage and reducing the risk of vision loss. Lastly, iodine ensures proper thyroid function, which influences overall eye health and helps prevent dry eyes and thyroid-related eye disorders, like Graves' disease.
