Selenium 200µg

An essential trace mineral, selenium serves as a powerful antioxidant, protecting the body from oxidative stress. It plays a critical role in thyroid function, immunity, the maintenance of normal nails and hair and male fertility.

Dietary intakes of selenium in the 70s were twice the level they are today, with official data suggesting many UK adults now struggle to achieve the RDA. This situation is partly due to the reduction of selenium-rich wheat imports from North America, as well as our modern-day processing and refining of food. Selenium supplements are often recommended to plug any nutritional gaps.

Our high-performance selenium supplement provides 200µg (twice the level found in most products). We use a combination of two well-researched forms of selenium, selenomethionine and selenite. Since selenium is such an important trace mineral, all of our multis contain relevant amounts of it.

We’ve chosen to supply our selenium supplement in small, taste-free tablets instead of capsules since they can deliver highly concentrated amounts of selenium in a convenient, one-a-day dose.

Selenium 200µg is made to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) in UK factories to ensure the very best quality standards.

This product is suitable for both vegetarians and vegans.
