A member of the mollusk family, which also includes clams, mussels, and scallops, the oyster is a bivalve—a marine species whose soft body is protected by two shells of roughly equal size.

However, in the United States, the majority of iodine is derived from the use of iodized salt, which contains 70 micrograms of iodine per gram of salt. Sea salt, in comparison, has little iodine. Due to the high salt intake in the United States, the average intake of iodine is estimated to be more than 600 micrograms per day. However, too much iodine can actually inhibit thyroid gland synthesis.

Most omega-3 supplements contain a small amount of omega-6 oils as well, so it is not necessary to take an extra omega-6 supplement. Omega-3 supplements made from vegetable oils such as flax and hemp tend to be relatively free from chemicals and make a good choice for supplementation over the relatively polluted fish oils.
