How are we different?

This selenium contains exclusively 100% natural, purely plant-based forms of selenium from mustard seeds. These are naturally rich in a variety of different organic selenium compounds. The majority is present as natural L-selenomethionine, the most important dietary form for humans, which exhibits high bioavailability. Many other naturally occurring forms of selenium and phytochemicals in the seeds complement this natural complex.

In contrast to conventional plant extracts obtained using various solvents, the extraction here is performed solely with water—without the use of solvents such as n-hexane, methanol, or acetone. The water extract obtained from the mustard seeds is standardised to 0.7% natural selenium. Ongoing laboratory tests guarantee the selenium content as well as the absence of heavy metals and pesticides.

As the only other ingredient, we use pure natural premium acacia fibre (gum arabic) from cultivation without plant protection products as a filler. In contrast to the synthetic fillers often used, such as microcrystalline cellulose which can contain nanoparticles, we use acacia fibre—another natural, fibre-rich food—as a filler. Our acacia fibre comes from climate-neutral, sustainable, resource-efficient, and fair cultivation.

For the capsule shells we use custom-made HPMC capsules that, unlike most other HPMC and pullulan capsules on the market, are 100% free from controversial additives such as carrageenans and PEG. We then package this product in environmentally friendly amber glass.

Effects

Selenium

Selenium is an essential trace element and an integral part of more than 25 enzymes. These enzymes, known as selenoproteins, play a role in several important body functions: normal immune system and throid function, the protection of cells from oxidative damage and the maintenance of healthy hair and nails.

Selenium in Mustard Seed

The mustard plant is a member of the cruciferous family. In addition to organic and inorganic selenides, mustard seeds are rich in the selenium-containing amino acid selenomethionine. With an absorption rate of 80–100%, organic selenium is highly bioavailable and occurs in combination with other compounds found in the seeds.

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA):

Selenium contributes to:

  • The protection of cells against oxidative stress
  • Normal function of the immune system
  • Normal thyroid function
  • Normal spermatogenesis (formation of sperm cells)
  • Maintenance of normal hair
  • Maintenance of normal nails

Dosage

Directions

Take 1 capsule daily (100µg selenium) with 200ml of water with a meal.

Daily Requirements

To avoid developing a deficiency, the official daily requirement for selenium according to the German Nutrition Society (DGE) is 30µg–70µg (NRV: 55µg).

Food Supplement

Do not exceed the recommended daily intake. Food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced, varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. Keep out of reach of young children.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.
