Selenium 200µg from selenomethionine - 60 tablets
Selenomethionine is regarded as a good source of selenium and can effectively be resorbed by the body
Selenomethionine (also: selenium methionine) contains the essential trace element selenium. A deficiency can lead to an insufficient function of the antioxidative system, which may result in a weakened immune system. Furthermore, selenium is of importance for the thyroid hormone metabolism as well as the female and male fertility.
Selenium is a necessary component for the formation of glutathione, which every body cell needs.
Studies about the trace element selenium
Studies show that a selenium deficiency can have an impact on the health at an advanced age. A meta-analysis conducted in 2006 at the University of Baltimore came to the result that there is an evident link between selenium levels and the heart health.

Two further studies from France and China (both countries with low selenium levels in the soil) show that selenium is important for the brain or the cognitive performance in old age.

Selenomethionine is regarded as a good source of selenium
Unlike inorganic selenium, selenomethionine is actively resorbed as amino acid (methionine) and can be built into the endogenous proteins without initial transformation. This way, the selenomethionine is stored in organs and tissues and can be utilised by the body as needed.
