Selenium is an essential trace mineral found in soil and water. Plants and yeast naturally convert selenium into organically bound forms. Healthy Origins Seleno Excell contains selenium in the organically bound natural form, as found in many food stuffs. Seleno Excell is the high selenium yeast used in numerous human clinical studies.

 

Selenium is an essential trace mineral that is found naturally in Brazil nuts, organ meats, seafood and wheat germ. Selenium is a powerful antioxidant mineral. Selenium may reduce the risk of certain cancers. Some scientific evidence suggests that consumption of selenium may reduce the risk of certain forms of cancer.

 

Selenium is an essential trace mineral found in soil and water. Plants and yeast naturally convert selenium into organically bound forms. Selenium is an essential component of glutathione, the body's most potent natural antioxidant system. It is essential to the function of Glutathione Peroxidase, an antioxidant enzyme, which neutralizes harmful peroxide free radicals. Muscle enzymes also use Selenium to maintain normal mass and tone.


Suggested Use:

Take one tablet daily with a meal. Do not exceed recommended dosage.

Q.What is selenium?
A.Selenium is a trace element found to a varying extent in soil. It enters the human diet through plants such as whole grains and through the meat of animals grazing on vegetation containing selenium. This mineral naturally occurs in foods such as whole grains, seafood, garlic, eggs and mushrooms.

Q.Why is selenium important in our diet?
A.It is believed that selenium helps fight diseases including cancer by neutralizing harmful elements called "free radicals," the unstable molecules that damage tissues. Your body needs this mineral for the production of several important body compounds, including enzymes, or catalysts, involved in antioxidant protection and thyroid-hormone metabolism. It has been estimated that there are between 50 and 100 different selenium-containing proteins in the human body, including those that build heart muscle, red blood cells, and sperm."

Q.Don't I get enough selenium if I eat a healthy balanced diet?
A.Selenium occurs naturally in foods such as whole grains, seafood, garlic, eggs and mushrooms, but because much of the farming soil is nutrient depleted, it is important to supplement. "It is almost impossible for the average person to know how much (selenium) is in the diet because foods vary in their content depending upon where they come from. This is why the use of supplements is warranted in the case of selenium where it might not be warranted with other nutrient.

Q.Are there different forms of selenium?

A.In the nutraceutical market selenium can be purchased either as a salt form inorganic or in an organically bound form. The salts are sodium selenite and sodium selenate and both have been shown to be less bioavailable than organically bound forms of selenium. The organically bound forms of selenium are high selenium yeast or selenomethionine. High selenium yeast contains multiple organic selenium compounds whereas selenomethionine is a single amino acid (methionine) with a selenium molecule attached to it. There are several qualities of high selenium yeast products with the best one to use being a product that certifies that it contains 100% organically bound selenium; as many high selenium yeast products cannot certify this claim.

Q.Which form of selenium should be taken as a nutritional supplement?
A."Since we haven't really identified which dietary selenium compound(s) may protect against cancer, nor have we elucidated the mechanism(s) through which they act, I feel it is extremely important to stick with the exact supplement that has been proven effective in clinical trials which is high selenium yeast." As a natural nutritional food source, yeast replicates the mineral conversion process performed by most plants (i.e. garlic, broccoli). This natural plant process converts inorganic (low bioavailability, potentially toxic) minerals, selenium, to safer organic (high bioavailability, reduced toxicity) forms for improved nutrient utilization.

Q.Are there any current studies using High Selenium Yeast?
A.Yes, there are a series of cancer and health related trials currently underway using High Selenium Yeast as the intervention agent. Some of these studies are being funded by the following organizations: National Cancer Institute (NCI) [United States & Canada], National Institute of Health (NIH), United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Department of Defense (DOD), International Cancer Alliances.

Q.Why use yeast to convert inorganic selenium to an organic form for human consumption?
A.Yeast naturally converts inorganic forms of selenium into organically bound seleno compounds forms in a consistent and controllable fermentation system. Organically bound High Selenium Yeast provides increased bioavailability for the human body compared to other forms of selenium, which greatly reduces the potential for toxicity.

Q.Is it safe to use a nutritional supplement that contains yeast?
A.Yes. "The yeast in nutraceuticals is dead, since the yeast manufacturing process involves a high-temperature, sterilization of the cream yeast immediately prior to spray drying . . . . By definition, an inactive yeast is dead and has lost its ability to reproduce in or out of the human body.

Q.Should I supplement with other antioxidants in addition to the selenium?
A.Selenium and Vitamin E each have specific functions in fighting free radicals, but they also have common functions to protect the body against free radicals. When taken together the body gets the benefit of each of their specific functions, plus their common functions complement each other to perform better as one than as two separate entities. It is believed that these two antioxidants can work together "synergistically" to prevent free radicals from damaging healthy cells and therefore reduce the risk of cancer.

Q.What is Bioavailability?
A.This is the rate and extent to which a substance is absorbed into the bloodstream.

Q.What will this supplement do for me?
A.Selenium supplementation may reduce the risk of developing certain cancers and heart disease and help to improve a range of conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, autoimmune thyroiditis, male subfertility, depression and anxiety.

Q.When will it start to work?
A.If a protective effect is to occur with selenium against cancer or cardiovascular disease, the effect appears to develop slowly over several years’ consistent intake.

Q. Are there any safety issues?
A. High intakes of Selenium above 1000 µg/day have been associated with a number of adverse effects and should be avoided.

 


ANTI-CANCER MINERAL  (12/10/2011)  
Today there is no selenium in soil , also cannot be in the vegetables and selenium is a very important anticancer mineral

VERY SATISFIED.  (23/11/2011)  
I am very glad with this product

HELPFUL  (01/03/2013)  
Mr.BILAL (From : SRINAGAR)
I have started taking this product for the management of Hashimoto's thyroiditis. I found it beneficial and I feel my TPO antibodies will be calming down slowly. I discussed with some scientists and they assured me that organic selenium is the best selenium option.
