Selenium is a trace element and a constituent of more than 20 selenoproteins that play critical roles in supporting reproduction, thyroid hormone metabolism, DNA synthesis and antioxidant status. Selenium exists in two forms: inorganic (selenate and selenite) and organic (selenomethionine and selenocysteine). Most selenium found in human and animal tissues is in the organic form of selenomethionine, where it can be incorporated with amino acids. Skeletal muscle is the major site of selenium storage. Selenium has structural roles, as well as enzymatic functions. It is best-known as an antioxidant and catalyst in the production of active thyroid hormone. Selenium is essential in the balance and support of immune system function. Selenium promotes sperm motility, maintains positive mood, antioxidant status, normal inflammatory balance, and heart health. In the context of potential health effects, low selenium status is cause for concern.
Suggested Use:
1 or more capsules per day or as recommended by your health care professional.
Reacted Selenium Benefits
Bioavailability
Reacted Selenium, formulated in the superior amino acid chelate form, selenium glycinate complex, has a high level of stability, which helps it to avoid food and other minerals that compete for absorption in the gut.
Heart Health
Selenoproteins play a role in maintaining oxidative modification of lipids, normal inflammatory balance and healthy blood flow. For these reasons, experts have suggested that selenium supplements could promote cardiovascular health.
Cognitive Health
Serum selenium concentrations decline with age. Sufficient selenium concentrations might play a role in supporting brain function throughout the lifespan, possibly due to selenium’s antioxidant activity.
