Selenium 150 µg

Selenium: an essential mineral

Dietary supplement based on selenium. Selenium is a naturally occurring trace element essential for the body, playing crucial roles in many physiological functions.

Selenium is naturally present in soils, absorbed by plants, and thus found in our diet, especially in selenium-rich foods such as Brazil nuts, seafood, and certain meats.

As a potent antioxidant, selenium protects the body's cells from damage caused by free radicals, also supporting immune function and thyroid hormone production.

However, balance is essential. While a selenium deficiency can cause health problems, excess could be toxic.

It is therefore vital to ensure appropriate intake, whether from diet or controlled supplementation.

Dosed at a selenium rate of 150 µg per vegetarian capsule, our selenium-enriched yeast supplement is combined with vitamin C and has all the features to reduce selenium needs in selenium-deficient individuals.

Antioxidant: Protection of Cells Against Oxidative Stress

Thanks to its antioxidant properties, selenium protects cells against free radicals responsible for oxidative stress, thus preventing cellular damage.

In addition to these effects, selenium acts as a cofactor for the enzyme glutathione peroxidase, a key enzyme in glutathione metabolism, a potent endogenous antioxidant. This cofactor role allows selenium to further amplify the body's antioxidant defenses.

Taking selenium also contributes to heart health. This mineral plays a role in preventing atherosclerosis (plaque buildup in the arteries), thereby protecting blood vessels from damage and supporting healthy circulation.

An Oligo-Element in Capsule for Immune System Support

This essential trace element is involved in the body's defense mechanisms by enhancing the proliferation and activity of white blood cells.

It supports the immune system, thereby increasing resistance to infections and diseases.

Rich in selenium for thyroid hormone production

The thyroid gland, an essential metabolic regulator, contains a high concentration of selenium.

This mineral contributes to the proper functioning of the thyroid by assisting in the conversion of thyroxine (T4) to triiodothyronine (T3), its active form.

As it also acts as an antioxidant, it protects the gland from free radicals produced during hormone synthesis.

Food supplement for spermatogenesis

Selenium is intimately linked to sperm production and quality. Studies have shown that adequate selenium intake helps improve sperm mobility, a determining factor in male fertility.

Moreover, as an antioxidant, it protects sperm cells from damage caused by free radicals, thus preserving the integrity of genetic material.

Thus, for men looking to optimize their fertility or simply maintain robust reproductive health, selenium-enriched supplementation can be a beneficial addition to their varied and balanced diet.
