Recommended dosage of oyster extract

The recommended daily dose of oyster extract is 500-1500 mg, depending on the product's composition and the purpose of use. The exact dose should be determined individually.

Possible side effects and interactions of oyster extract with medications

Oyster extract is generally well-tolerated, especially when consumed in recommended amounts. In rare cases, mild digestive disturbances and nausea may occur. Since the extract is rich in zinc, its absorption may be altered when taken with other zinc supplements or certain medications (antibiotics, diuretics). In such cases, it is recommended to consult a doctor.

Important: Oyster extract is not suitable for individuals who are allergic to shellfish and their proteins.
