Application

The recommended dosage is one tablet per day, which should be taken with sufficient liquid.

Dietary supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced and varied diet.A healthy lifestyle is of great importance.The recommended daily consumption amount must not be exceeded.The product should be kept out of the reach of small children and stored at room temperature.

Effect of selenium

Selenium contributes to normal sperm formation, the maintenance of normal hair and nails and the normal function of the immune system.It also supports normal thyroid function and protects cells from oxidative stress.

Oxidative stress and pregnancy

Oxidative stress plays an important role during pregnancy.At the beginning of pregnancy, oxygen levels in the placenta are low to support the child's development.Later, the oxygen content increases, which is beneficial for further development, but also leads to an increase in oxidative stress.The fetus is very susceptible to oxidative stress, so the body simultaneously increases the level of antioxidants to maintain balance.

Protection against oxidative stress

Selenium is an important part of the body's protective mechanisms against oxidative stress.As a component of selenium proteins, especially antioxidants, it helps break down harmful substances such as hydrogen peroxide.Insufficient selenium supply can impair the antioxidant function of these proteins and have negative effects on mother and child.

Forms of selenium

Selenium comes in different forms that are used differently by the body.The most common dietary form is selenomethionine, while sodium selenite offers benefits as a supplement.Sodium selenite is quickly converted into selenium proteins and can be easily excreted in the urine.Although selenomethionine has a higher bioavailability, it is incorporated into proteins non-specifically, which can lead to accumulation in the body.

Selenium supply

The Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM) defines values below 80 µg/l selenium in serum or below 100 µg/l in whole blood as selenium deficiency.The reference range for selenium is 80 - 120 µg/l in serum and 100 - 140 µg/l in whole blood.

Determination of selenium status

The best way to determine the selenium status is through a blood test by a doctor, preferably in whole blood, as this value indicates long-term supply.The serum value only reflects the current supply and can therefore be less meaningful.

biosyn service laboratory

The biosyn service laboratory offers a determination of selenium in whole blood.The results are compared and evaluated with the BfArM reference values.Further information and ordering options for the analysis request can be found on the company's website.
