The Backstory
My best friend told me about these oyster pills and how they helped her libido. Intrigued, I went to order, and they were limiting the number of customers who could buy because their inventory was so low. It was winter 2020, and their New Zealand supplier was having trouble getting enough raw material to keep their product on the shelves. I was able to start taking them, but because of the on-and-off with the inventory, I couldn’t consistently take them because I couldn’t order enough to take them for consecutive months.
In the summer of 2021, I got pregnant with my son, and the oyster pills weren’t even a thought as they were out of stock so much (even though you can take them while pregnant). Fast forward to the summer of 2022, after I had my son (and after I started HRT), I started back up on the oyster pills, AND LET ME TELL YOU. These WORK when you can take them consistently. The company I was taking them from reached out to me in the summer of 2023 and let me know that we (Bowmar Nutrition) could finally wholesale them! Our initial launch sold out in 30 minutes, and our previous supplier could no longer keep up with demand, so we decided to enhance the formula and find a manufacturer that could keep up with us (no pun intended). It’s our mission to keep these in stock, as we know how much they help so many of you! I’ve had several friends take our new formula to compare it to the previous formula, and they all have said it is much more powerful and effective.
So, how did these help me?
- Libido/sex drive
- Immune support
- Increased HRV
- Reduction in RHR
- Reduction in respiratory rate
- More natural energy
- Overall better mood
Please note that I recommend everyone get their hormones checked. I am using these in conjunction with HRT (more on that here). If you are taking this product in hopes it will help libido and it doesn’t, you may have other hormonal issues going on that need addressed. This product has benefits outside of sexual health, but I know this is a big reason a lot of people are using this product. I take 3-4 a day and am on HRT.
Product Breakdown
Oysters are the richest natural source of zinc and one of the richest in selenium and B12. They also contain a wide variety of other trace minerals and amino acids, meaning they’re naturally in perfect balance. There’s no risk of “overdosing” with these either! The minerals are also highly bioavailable since they’re just as they’re normally found in nature.
Benefits:
- Supports thyroid health (a rich source of iodine)
- Supports healthy mood and may fight depression
- Supports a healthy immune system
- Promotes sexual health and libido
- Supports healthy metabolism and balanced blood sugar
- Supports bladder and urinary tract health
- Potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties
- Promotes gut health
- It may reduce the risk of some types of cancer
Key Ingredients:
- Oyster Meat Powder
- Oysters are extremely rich in zinc, which is essential for testosterone production (and for men, maintenance of healthy sperm)
- Oysters contain large amounts of tyrosine (amino acid) that boosts dopamine, which is a hormone that increases libido in both men and women.
- Oysters are packed with nutrients that are essential for sexual health, including zinc, calcium, and magnesium. These minerals are crucial for the production of testosterone and other sex hormones, which in turn leads to increased libido, better sexual function, and stronger erections (men)
- Zinc also helps to increase sperm count and motility in men while improving fertility in women\
- Maca
- In a recent study, taking maca root per day for 12 weeks significantly improved sexual function and libido compared with a placebo.
- Panax Ginseng
- Increasing response to sexual stimuli in healthy people. Taking Panax ginseng alone or with other ingredients by mouth seems to improve sexual arousal and satisfaction in postmenopausal adults. It also seems to improve sexual desire in females who report sexual problems.
- SoWell™
- The trademarked ingredient is proven to increase mood libido and reduce joint pain and stress.
- Horny Goat Weed
- Horny goat weed has been used to enhance libido in men and women and alleviate symptoms of menopause and premenstrual syndrome, the active ingredient likely being icaritin which appears to have estrogenic bioactivity
- L-Arginine
- This helps you reach orgasm by amplifying both genital blood flow and smooth-muscle relaxation. Once it gets in your body, L-arginine enhances sexual responsiveness by increasing the nitric oxide in your blood, which relaxes and expands your blood vessels. This lifts the libido by an intensifying sensation
- Ginko Biloba
- Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE) facilitates blood flow, influences nitric oxide systems, and has a relaxant effect on smooth muscle tissue. These processes are important to the sexual response in women, and hence, it is feasible that GBE may have a therapeutic effect.
- Zinc
- Studies have shown that zinc supplementation may enhance sexual desire, arousal, pleasure, and vaginal wetness during intercourse, as well as the total sexual function score. Zinc supplementation may also boost testosterone levels and sexual performance in postmenopausal women.
We have removed mustard seeds and celery seeds from the original formula and added a handful of more powerful ingredients, which are listed above.

If you experience this, decrease the dose
