Buy Selenium – Trace Element as Sodium Selenite & Selenium Yeast

Selenium is an essential trace element and a chemical element (symbol Se) that the body cannot produce itself and therefore takes in through the diet. It is one of the inorganic minerals and occurs in foods such as Brazil nuts, fish and grains. In this category, you'll find selenium supplements from Scheunengut – as sodium selenite or as organically bound selenium yeast, with a clearly declared content, vegan and lab-tested.

Origin & Extraction

Selenium is used in supplements in two main forms: as inorganic sodium selenite and as organic selenium yeast, in which the selenium is incorporated into yeast. The natural selenium content of plants depends heavily on the selenium content of the soil, which varies greatly from region to region.

Standardisation & Format

Selenium is stated in micrograms (µg) per daily serving – a transparently declared content is crucial. It is offered as a capsule, tablet or drops, often combined with other trace elements such as zinc or with iodine.

Why does the selenium content of food vary so much?

The natural selenium content of plants depends heavily on the selenium content of the soil, which varies considerably from region to region. In regions with selenium-poor soils, foods correspondingly contain less. That's why a transparently declared content in micrograms is especially helpful with supplements, so you know your intake precisely.
