Selen from EnergyBalance® is an organic selenium derived from yeast, combined with BIO turmeric. Due to its characteristics, it lends itself to easier absorption. Selenium contributes to normal immune system function and helps protect cells from oxidative stress.
The EnergyBalance® High Natural Selenium is composed of organic selenium yeast. In this organic selenium yeast, the trace element selenium was absorbed by a nutritional yeast and incorporated into its cells. This yeast has a high concentration of the proteins selenomethionine and selenocysteine connections contained in selenium, which are also naturally present in plants. Selenite and selenate connections must first be converted in the body to biologically active selenoproteins such as selenomethionine or selenocysteine.
In nature, selenium is a trace element that is necessary for the normal functioning of all organisms. It is a naturally occurring element and is found in the atmosphere, lithosphere, biosphere and hydrosphere of the Earth in these forms such as dimethylselenium, hydrogen selenide and selenium oxide. Water and soil contain inorganic selenites and selenates that accumulate from plants and convert them into organic forms, mostly seleno-amino acids.
A persistent lack of selenium in the human organism can lead to serious diseases. Moderate selenium deficiency in the daily diet leads to reduced immunity, functional disorders of the nervous system, development of depression, increased anxiety and infertility.
Selenium yeast is produced by cultivating and fermenting baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) in selenium-rich media. The bioaccumulation of selenium occurs through two mechanisms: extracellular selenium binding occurs via yeast cell wall proteins, phospholipids and polysaccharides, while intracellular accumulation occurs by the transport of selenium ions through the cytoplasm. Yeast can convert more than 99% of the unsafe inorganic selenium into its safe organic food form, such as selenomethion. The metabolism of selenium in yeast cells is a very complex process, as the selenium enrichment of yeast results from the formation of many other organic seleno-amino acids and selenoproteins, which have better intracellular absorption.
The trace element selenium is far more important for our cells than is often assumed. Selenium is an essential component of various enzyme systems, e.g. glutathione peroxidase, which neutralizes free radicals with antioxidative effect. Selenium is particularly important for the immune system. Selenium can bind heavy metals, with which we often come into contact in everyday life. This inactivates and eliminates cadmium and mercury, for example.
Selenium is combined in the body with proteins, which become important antioxidative enzymes. The antioxidative properties of selenium proteins prevent cell damage from free radicals. Selenium protects the organism from oxidation reactions and helps to maintain cell functions.
EnergyBalance® organic selenium yeast is combined with turmeric, making it particularly easy to digest.
