I am not a biologist. But I think oyster shells and clam shells and scallop shells are made of calcium and oxygen, which is how (millions of years later) we get the white cliffs of Dover and chalk. If there are vitamins in these shells, I'd be surprised, as I would have expected the former/present tennants to consume them before heading to Dover or anywhere else. Also, if the nutritional value (vitamins) were worth any notice, do you think we'd throw these things away by the truck-load? Yeah. Me neither. (Still, I have no factual basis for this answer... yet.)

What makes the oyster shell capable of removing stains?

A water animal like an oyster whose shell has two parts hinged together?
An animal with a shell composed of two parts hinged together would be a bivalve, such as a mussel, clam, or oyster.
