Why to take L-Selenomethionine (200mcg Selenium)?

In this case, selenium is bound to the amino acid L-methionine (forming L-selenomethionine), this presentation has advantages over other products with inorganic sources of selenium (such as selenite and selenate).

L-Selenomethionine, an active 'standby' source

Dietary sources of inorganic selenium are utilised at the rate at which the body can handle the mineral and a proportion of the remainder is eliminated, i.e.:

The inorganic selenate generally offered by food supplement companies is very inefficient, a very cheap source and very poor quality.

In contrast, the L-selenomethionine we present in our product is an amino acid-trace element complex, a form linked to:

•  Incorporated into proteins as a replacement for the base L-methionine as a 'reservoir' for when selenium is needed (Fairweather-Tait et al., 2010).

Why buy L-Selenomethionine (200mcg Selenium) in HSN?

Superior formula

L-selenomethionine is a form of organic selenium, which as mentioned above:

•  It allows it to be stored in tissue proteins as a reserve.
•  Decreases its elimination.

Apta para vegetarianos e veganos.

Our L-selenomethionine is produced from raw materials without the use of animal-derived compounds.

Unlike competing companies offering selenium food supplement capsules, we don't use gelatine in the manufacture of our glazing agents.

Instead, we have decided to use a modification of a vegetable polymer called cellulose, making our capsules veggie, and as a whole
