Our body requires a variety of micronutrients. Selenium is a micronutrient, that we require very small amounts of. In our body, it makes up selenoproteins, which are proteins that contain the mineral. These carry out various functions in our body, supporting immunity, metabolism, and even making DNA.

Supporting a variety of body processes

Selenium is an antioxidant, meaning that it can defend our cells from oxidative stress. It does so by taking care of free radicals. However, that is not the only function selenium has in our body. Selenium helps power quite a few different body processes, like:

Immunity – selenium helps ensure that our immune system is working the best it can. It supports immune function as many selenoproteins, which contain the mineral, function in immune response. They also help control the strength of immune response, which prevents long-term inflammation.
Aging – selenium supports the body’s ability to take care of free radicals, which prevents damage to cells. This helps keep our brain in top notch and prevent decrease in memory as we age.
Thyroid health – selenium keeps the thyroid functioning correctly, helping to activate the thyroid hormone. The thyroid controls many functions in the body, including proper growth and our metabolism.
Heart health – the antioxidant function of selenium helps it keep the heart healthy by decreasing oxidative stress. It can also decrease inflammation. Decreasing these processes helps to keep the heart healthy.

To ensure that our immune system stays strong and our thyroid healthy, it’s key to get enough selenium. Maxler Selenium is a supplement containing 150 micrograms of selenium in each vegan capsule.

FAQ

Can I get this mineral from foods?

Yes! Selenium content varies in food. Animal proteins have selenium, and seafood is one of the best sources of this mineral. Plant foods containing this micronutrient are beans, Brazil nuts, and sunflower seeds.

Supplements are also an easy way to meet your nutritional requirements of this mineral. Maxler Selenium caps are a vegan and gluten free supplement for any lifestyle.

Can I benefit from taking selenium with other supplements?

Yes! If you’re looking to support your thyroid health, try pairing selenium with iodine. The two work together on producing thyroid hormone. Selenium helps to activate the hormone, while iodine is used to make it. Combining the two helps for optimal thyroid support.

What is selenomethionine?

Selenium can take on an organic and an inorganic form. Our body can use the organic form, which is selenomethionine. This is actually the form selenium takes in foods, like Brazil nuts. In the organic form, the mineral is attached to an amino acid called methionine. Our body can therefore use selenomethionine more efficiently.

Maxler Selenium contains this form of the mineral to ensure best bioavailability.

How much selenium should I take?

Selenium requirements depend on your age and whether you’re breastfeeding if you’re a woman. For adults above 19, 55 micrograms is the daily requirement according to the National Institute of Health. For those that are pregnant or breastfeeding, the daily requirement is a little more – 60 to 70 micrograms.

Each capsule of Maxler Selenium contains 150 micrograms of the mineral, meaning that one capsule is enough to meet your daily requirements.

Helps detox

For each metal, there are synergists, which help each other to absorb, and there are antagonists, which interfere with absorption. So, for heavy metals, the antagonist is selenium, it displaces them from the body, thus purifying it.
