Why We Source Our Oysters From New Zealand (and Why It Matters for Your Health)

Nov 30, 2023

Straight From the Source: Unlocking the Full Power of Pure Nutrition 🌊

When it comes to premium oyster supplements, quality starts with sourcing—and we don’t cut corners. Our 100% freeze-dried Crassostrea gigas oysters come straight from the clean, cold waters of New Zealand, a country celebrated worldwide for its sustainable and ethical seafood practices.

Why is that important?

Because the purity of your supplement depends on the purity of its source.

Why New Zealand?

1. Unmatched Quality Assurance
New Zealand is internationally recognized for its stringent food safety regulations. Oysters sourced from these waters are consistently fresher, richer in nutrients, and more rigorously tested for contaminants than many global alternatives.

2. Pristine Coastal Waters
The nutrient-dense waters of New Zealand are free from industrial runoff and environmental toxins. This means cleaner oysters with higher levels of bioavailable zinc, selenium, copper, and omega-3 fatty acids—all critical for thyroid function, skin health, fertility, and energy.

3. Eco-Friendly and Sustainable
New Zealand oyster farming emphasizes sustainable aquaculture, using practices that protect marine ecosystems and ensure the longevity of this vital food source.

4. Transparency & Traceability
Every batch of oysters can be traced back to its origin, offering you complete peace of mind. Know exactly what you’re putting in your body—no guessing, no greenwashing.

🧬 Why Bioavailability Matters

Unlike synthetic supplements, freeze-dried oysters retain their natural co-factors, meaning nutrients are bound to amino acids and peptides—just like in whole foods. This natural format allows your body to absorb and utilize nutrients more efficiently, without needing to convert or break them down.

Studies show that freeze-drying is superior to heat-based drying methods in preserving nutrient integrity:

✅ A 2020 study published in Foods found that freeze-drying preserved higher antioxidant activity and nutrient content in plant-based foods compared to hot-air drying. (Source: PMC7022747)

When Food Isn’t Enough, Supplement Smart

While real food should always be your foundation, we know modern life doesn't always make it easy to eat nutrient-rich organ meats and seafood daily. That’s why we created our freeze-dried Oyster and Beef Liver Supplements—to bridge the gap and deliver nature’s multivitamins in their most potent, bioavailable form.

✅ No additives
✅ No fillers
✅ No BS
