Smidge® Oysterzinc, a pure zinc supplement made from fresh oysters (aka the highest food source of zinc!) Thanks to oysters’ abundant nutrients, zinc is bound in peptides and amino acids with essential cofactors, for fantastic bioavailability. These nutrients include naturally-occurring vitamin B12, iodine, selenium and copper. This powerful blend may help play a role in supporting mood and emotional well-being.
Zinc helps regulate neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which are essential for mood stability. It also reduces inflammation in the brain, which can help alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression. Vitamin B12 supports nerve function and energy metabolism, helping to prevent mood swings and fatigue, while a deficiency in B12 is often linked to depression.
Selenium acts as a strong antioxidant, protecting the brain from oxidative stress and supporting thyroid function, both of which are important for a balanced mood. Copper aids in the production of dopamine, promoting feelings of motivation and pleasure, while iodine ensures healthy thyroid function, which is directly tied to energy levels and emotional balance.
Together, the nutrients in Smidge® Oysterzinc work synergistically to support brain health, reduce stress, and promote a more positive and stable mood.
