What is Selenium and what is it used for?

Selenium is an essential mineral for metabolism health and comes in several forms:

• Inorganic (sodium selenite and selenate).
• Organic (selenocysteine-SeCys-).
• We use L- selenomethionine (L- SeMet) as it's a pure and active form that, through a metabolic process, can be stored in the body and serve as a reserve to selenium, ensuring its transfer and conservation and therefore its correct immune function at all times.

It has several features that contribute to:

• Normal immune system function.
• Maintenance of thyroid function, hair and nails.
• Sperm formation or spermatogenesis (reproductive).
• Protecting DNA, protein and body fats from oxidative stress caused by free radicals (unstable molecules that damage body cells).

What foods contain Selenium?

The most selenium-rich foods are:

• Meat, fish, seafood and eggs (protein source).
• Nuts, such as brazil nuts, pine nuts and pumpkin seeds.
• Pasta, whole grains, brewer's yeast and wheat germ.
• Fruits loaded with this mineral: strawberries, bananas, grapes, watermelon and avocado.
• Vegetables: mushrooms, garlic, beans and cucumber.
