Selenium capsules

Selenium Mono is a mono-preparation with a high selenium content in the form of highly bioavailable sodium selenite. Selenium contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and is important for thyroid function and the immune system.

Selenium is one of the essential trace elements and is present in the body primarily in blood platelets, the heart, kidneys, and liver. Selenium's main function is its participation in various enzyme systems. As a central component of glutathione peroxidase, an enzyme that converts peroxides into harmless substances, it is part of the body's antioxidant defense system and thus protects cells from oxidative stress.

Oxidative stress occurs in the body when free radicals constantly multiply in a chemical chain reaction. It spreads when the cellular antioxidant defenses are too weak to compensate for the reactive oxygen radicals. Oxidative stress does not display any clear symptoms. Free radicals are formed in increased quantities as a result of increasing age, smoking, malnutrition, UV radiation, environmental pollution, competitive sports, medication use, or certain diseases such as inflammation. They damage proteins, fatty acids, and carbohydrates in the body. This impairs cell membranes and disrupts the cells' energy supply. Damage to the protein structure greatly reduces the biological activity of enzymes. The free radicals also react with the cell nucleus and genetic information (DNA). The results of this oxidative DNA damage include changes in genetic information and enzyme disorders, which lead to significant impairments in cellular function and thus to metabolic processes.

Selenium is also very important for the normal function of the thyroid and the immune system. Selenium also plays a key role in maintaining normal hair and nails.

Selenium is essential for male fertility, as it contributes to normal sperm production. Selenium is found in the diet in meat, offal, sea fish, eggs, nuts, and grains. The selenium content of food varies depending on geographical origin. Most plants in our regions are relatively low in selenium, as some agricultural land contains little selenium. Selenium is bound to the protein fractions in foods; therefore, protein-rich foods are considered good sources of selenium.

Clear illnesses caused by selenium deficiency occur only in a few regions of China. Severe selenium deficiency diseases are unknown in our latitudes, but not all population groups are considered to be adequately supplied. Insufficient selenium intake is primarily associated with functional disorders that are not always clearly recognizable. In addition to a one-sided or vegan diet and strict fasting regimes, heavy alcohol consumption or long-term digestive disorders can also lead to selenium deficiency. Selenium absorption capacity decreases with age, so older people should also ensure they have an adequate supply.

Selenium Mono offers an easy way to ensure adequate selenium intake.
