What do you actually know about selenium?
Right - it's an important trace element.
But do you also know organic selenium?
From a scientific point of view, selenium is a so-called chalcogen, which translates as something like “ore builder”. This name goes back to the “little brothers” of selenium, which you certainly know much better than selenium itself: oxygen and sulfur.
As oxides or sulfides, they are important components of ores, which explains their name.
In fact, all of these elements are important parts of life. With an average of more than 60%, oxygen is actually the most common element in the human body. Even if the proportions of sulfur at 2 ‰ and selenium at 0.2 ppm are significantly lower, they are in no way inferior to oxygen in terms of its importance for the organism.
However, the body cannot simply absorb sulfur and selenium as minerals, while the oxygen simply inhales or drinks with the water. Instead, it needs their organic form, in which both sulfur and selenium are already part of a natural biomolecule and thus achieve a much higher bioavailability than in their mineral form.
In its organic form, selenium mostly takes on the role of sulfur. In most cases it replaces the sulfur in the amino acids L-methionine and L-cysteine, so that the so-called seleno-amino acids are obtained. As a result, the proteins that contain such seleno-amino acids are changed in their structure and function at certain points in such a way that they differ fundamentally from the sulfur-containing proteins. Here, selenium usually forms the active center of the biochemical processes in the body.
In this way, selenium is not only essential for hair and nail growth. It is important for the immune system because it supports the formation of thyroid hormones and because it scavenges radicals. As if that weren't enough, selenium is important for spermatogenesis in men.
But how do you get the biologically active organic selenium from the natural mineral selenium? A solution for this is offered by living beings that one would perhaps at least associate with health: brewer's yeast. These are downright wild for selenium minerals and convert them into organic selenium. This in turn can be used very well by the body.
With SelenPureCaps from ZeinPharma you get 150 μg of high quality organic selenium in just one capsule a day. Due to the high bioavailability of organic selenium, you support your body every day by giving it what it needs for so many things in the body.
