A trace mineral essential for thyroid hormone activation and the antioxidant selenoprotein system. Also supports immune surveillance and normal reproductive health.
Why this form
L-Selenomethionine is the organic, food-form selenium — incorporated into selenoproteins in the same way as methionine — offering the highest bioavailability and most physiologically relevant delivery of any selenium compound.
Key benefits
Thyroid hormone activation
Selenium is an essential component of iodothyronine deiodinases, the enzymes that convert thyroid hormone T4 into the active T3. Selenium contributes to the maintenance of normal thyroid function.
Antioxidant selenoproteins
Selenium is the active site element in glutathione peroxidases and thioredoxin reductases — the body's primary enzymatic antioxidant systems, which contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative and nitrosative stress.
Immune & reproductive health
Selenium contributes to the normal function of the immune system, supporting the activity of natural killer cells and T-lymphocytes. It is also essential for normal spermatogenesis.
