The short answer
Provide protein, vitamin B12, iron, selenium, and iodine.
- Evidence and scope
- Food context; study findings do not grade the whole food.
- Important limitation
- Human evidence mainly concerns nutrient contribution and substitution within seafood-rich patterns; species-specific long-term outcome data are limited.
- Before deciding
- Shellfish is a major allergen. Raw shellfish can transmit serious infections; source, cooking, pregnancy, and local contamination advisories matter.
01 / NUTRIENTS & FORM
Nutrient snapshot
The exact food form matters. Raw, cooked, drained, dried, fortified, and branded versions can have meaningfully different values.
Provide protein, vitamin B12, iron, selenium, and iodine.
We have not assigned a specific composition record to this food yet. Values will appear only after the food description, preparation state, edible portion, and serving weight are verified.
How nutrient values will be verified
- Planned display basis
- Practical serving and per 100 g
- Planned nutrient fields
- Energy, protein, carbohydrate, fiber, fat, sodium, and the most relevant micronutrients
- Publication rule
- Show the database, record ID, food form, serving weight, and verification date

Evidence map: baseline and emerging signals
The current baseline stays visually separate from credible findings that are mechanistic, responder-dependent, small, or not yet replicated.
The general interpretation that does not depend on one unreplicated positive result. An established limitation is as important as an established benefit.
The association between razor clam consumption and memory in the CoASTAL Cohort.
This source was selected for a safety or exposure signal, not evidence of benefit. The risk depends on preparation, dose, susceptibility, and setting.
- Study design
- Human observational or context study
- Tested form / scope
- Whole food
- Editorial interpretation
- Human evidence mainly concerns nutrient contribution and substitution within seafood-rich patterns; species-specific long-term outcome data are limited.
- Screening record
- One relevant human PubMed source was verified and classified. This is a source card, not a complete evidence synthesis or a count of favorable studies.
