Yes, oysters are a good source of iodine, an essential trace mineral important for thyroid function and overall health. The iodine content in oysters can vary depending on their habitat and diet, but they generally provide a significant amount compared to other foods. Consuming oysters can help individuals meet their iodine needs, especially in regions where iodine deficiency is common.
