Characteristic
Oyster is a marine bivalve mollusk widely distributed in coastal areas. Because of its high commercial value, it is an important marine biological resource for human beings. Oyster peptide is a small molecule active peptide obtained from oyster meat by various biotechnology. It is mainly composed of small molecule oligopeptides with a relative molecular mass of less than 1,000 Daltons, and is rich in zinc, calcium, taurine, as well as vitamins A, B1, B2, B5, C, D, and E. It is easily absorbed by the organism, exerts its biological activity, and completely retains its inherent nutrients, such as vitamins and trace elements. In recent years, oyster peptide has been widely used in food, nutraceuticals, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals due to its various potential biological activities, such as antioxidant, anti-microbial, anti-hypertensive, sexual reproductive promoting, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, anti-fatigue and anti-wrinkle.

Functions
Compared with ordinary oyster products, oyster peptide has higher biological potency. Its main functions include but are not limited to the following.
Oyster peptide has significant anti-fatigue activity. For example, Hao et al. reported the anti-fatigue effects of five oyster components on mice and found that the swimming endurance of fatigued mice was improved due to the high proportion of branched-chain amino acid composition, taurine biological activity and glycogen [1].
Oyster peptide helps beauty. It can prevent dry skin, promote skin metabolism, skin melanin decomposition, whitening skin. In addition, oyster peptide can promote the formation and secretion of hormones, so it also has a good effect on physiological disorders, infertility, menopausal disorders and so on.
Oyster peptide helps improve immunity and inhibit aging. For example, it has been shown that oyster peptide can improve the immune organ structure of cyclophosphamide (CTX)-induced immunosuppressive mice, recover the imbalance of T lymphocyte subsets, increase immune cytokines, increase numbers of nucleated cells and DNA content in bone marrow, thereby improving immune function [2].
- Hepatoprotective and choleretic
The abundant taurine in oyster peptide has obvious hepatoprotective and choleretic effects. It is also a good medicine to prevent intrahepatic cholestasis during pregnancy. - Improving reproductive function
Oyster peptide has a significant effect on improving reproductive function. It can effectively increase the expression of key regulatory proteins in the androgen production pathway, thereby increasing serum testosterone levels and enhancing male sexual function.
