Selenium is a dietary supplement containing yeast enriched in selenium, under the SelenoExcell® trademark.
SelenoExcell ® is an extract that contains dietary forms of selenium, obtained by fermentation from the Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast, non-pathogenic and not genetically modified. Thanks to this process, SelenoExcell ® contains 21 organic selenium compounds that create a
unique profile.
Thanks to the fermentation process, a supplement that is as close to dietary forms of selenium is obtained, such as what is found in Brazil nuts, eggs, peas, poultry and meat. We believe its important to consume minerals and vitamins that are as close as possible to a natural form of food.
The form of selenium in SelenoExcell ® is what researchers call organic, meaning its bound to several amino acids. This factor may make it more bioavailable than other forms of selenium
.
The yeast fermentation process replicates the natural course in which plants absorb and transform the earths inorganic minerals into more bioavailable organic forms. Organic forms of selenium are more bioavailable and are better retained and absorbed by the body than inorganic forms.
Most people take it for granted that we can get enough minerals such as selenium from the foods we eat. But even with the healthiest diets, scientists predict that selenium intake through food
will decrease.
A recent study shows that climate change may cause a 9% decrease in soil selenium in 66% of the world, including the European Union, by 2020. The researchers conclude that this could have important health implications (Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences 2017
).
The FAO (United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization) reports that 53 countries in Europe and Asia are at risk of micronutrient depletion due to suboptimal diet quality. The report noted that mineral depletion is a major health problem. (DR. Tieraona Low Dog, MD. United Nations/FAO Report, 2014).
