What is Selenium?
Contributes to the normal function of the immune system, normal thyroid function, the protection of cells from oxidative stress and the maintenance of normal hair and nails.
Why Sodium Selenite?
Sodium selenite is an inorganic form of selenium with high bioavailability and efficient bodily utilisation. Unlike selenomethionine, which is incorporated into body proteins and stored long-term, sodium selenite is not retained — reducing the risk of accumulation and enabling more precise regulation of selenium levels with each dose.
What are the benefits of Selenium?
Thyroid hormone activation
Selenium is an essential component of iodothyronine deiodinases, the enzymes that convert thyroid hormone T4 into the active T3. Selenium contributes to the maintenance of normal thyroid function.
Antioxidant selenoproteins
Selenium is the active site element in glutathione peroxidases and thioredoxin reductases — the body's primary enzymatic antioxidant systems, which contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative and nitrosative stress.
Immune & reproductive health
Selenium contributes to the normal function of the immune system, supporting the activity of natural killer cells and T-lymphocytes. It is also essential for normal spermatogenesis.
