SanoPharm Selenium 100 mcg
FoodState Selenium

Selenium is an essential mineral that occurs in minute amounts in the body. The physical properties of selenium closely resemble those of sulfur.

Best natural sources
The selenium content of foods depends on the amount present in the soil, either directly (in plant food) or indirectly (in animal products with selenium from animal feed). Even if there is sufficient selenium in the soil, its absorption by plants can be inhibited by sulfur in commonly used fertilizers and by sulfuric acid compounds in acid rain.

Good sources of selenium include brewer's yeast, meat, fish, shellfish, grains, breakfast cereals, Brazil nuts, broccoli, cabbage, cucumber, radish, garlic, onions, molasses, and dairy products.

Absorption and storage
The liver, heart, spleen, and kidneys contain four to five times as much selenium as muscles and other tissues. Once absorbed, selenium is distributed across all tissues except fat tissue. Selenium is normally excreted in urine. Selenium in feces is a sign of incomplete absorption. Because it binds with toxic metals, ingested selenium may not be absorbed.

The selenium content in food easily decreases due to heating, processing, and preparation. The refining of grain kernels reduces the selenium content by 50 to 75%, cooking reduces the selenium content by 45%.

This formula is hypoallergenic and suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
