Abstract

Oyster also known as (Crassostrea spp.), is well known for its nutritional value, and is gaining importance in the field of neuroscience due to the presence of bioactive compounds, like taurine, zinc, omega-3 fatty acids, and peptides in it.These compounds help in reducing oxidative stress, enhance synaptic function, modulate release of neurotransmitters, and helps in improving cognitive performance thereby providing promising neuroprotective effects and enhancing the cognitive functions.This review explores the pharmacological properties of oyster-derived bioactive compounds in context of neuroprotection and summarizes clinical and preclinical result, this article also elaborates their role in managing neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's.The formulation approaches, limitations, and future directions for integrating oyster-based nutraceuticals in brain health strategies are also highlighted in this article.
