Selenium

What is Selenium Yeast Extract? It’s a very powerful – and extremely important – mineral. And, although we only need small amounts, it’s one that many of us are simply not getting enough of, according to data from the latest National Diet and Nutrition Survey. Selenium is found in a wide range of foods, including fish, meat, eggs and Brazil nuts, but it’s thought that reduced levels of the mineral in soil due to recent farming practices have contributed to a lower intake. It wasn’t till the 1950s that selenium was found to be important for health after a German scientist investigated disease in farm animals. Since then, it’s been discovered that the mineral is important for immunity, thyroid function, sperm production, and even healthy hair and nails. It’s also an antioxidant, helping to combat cell damage that can lead to premature ageing and illness. Selenium deficiency, or simply having low levels, can affect these functions. Why is ours better? We’ve created an advanced combination of selenium with vitamins A, C and E. An organically bound selenium yeast makes it easy for the body to absorb, while the antioxidant vitamins A, C and E help combat free radicals, keep the immune system in working order and fight tiredness and fatigue. Who is this for? Our vegan selenium tablets are a good choice for people who may not be getting enough of this important mineral from their diets. Selenium is popular with men and women as it supports a wide range of body processes, from hair, nails and thyroid function to healthy sperm production.
