Seleno Sorb 200

200mcg of selenomethionine per vegetarian capsule. Selenomethionine may reduce thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) antibodies, increase well-being, and improve mood in those with deficient thyroid function. Indicated to support healthy thyroid function, immunity, male fertility, and detoxification. Selenium is an essential mineral found in significant amounts in Brazil nuts. It is best known for its role in thyroid hormone activation, as it is a necessary cofactor for the proper conversion of the less active thyroid hormone, thyroxine (T4), to the metabolically active triiodothyronine (T3). Without selenium, the metabolically inactive reverse T3 (rT3) is created instead, putting our bodies in a metabolically disadvantaged state. In fact, the thyroid gland contains the highest concentrations of selenium per unit weight in the body. Various clinical trials have documented selenium's ability to improve clinical markers of poor thyroid function. Appropriate selenium supplementation has been shown to reduce anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) antibodies, increase well-being, and improve mood in individuals with deficient thyroid function. Selenomethionine has also been shown to support women with positive anti-TPO antibodies during and after pregnancy. Selenium is also necessary for proper immune function. Selenium-deficient states show increased viral replication and disease progression. Conversely, selenium supplementation has been shown to increase T-cell production and natural killer cell activity, supporting the body's defense against foreign invaders. Finally, selenium plays a crucial role in upregulating the master antioxidant glutathione through the activation of glutathione peroxidase. This may explain why selenium supplementation has been shown to positively impact fertility through improved sperm development and function. Ensuring optimal glutathione production also has important implications for the body's detoxification systems at the cellular level. Cyto-Matrix's Seleno-Sorb contains 200mcg of selenomethionine per vegetarian capsule. Selenomethionine is an organic compound and the predominant form of selenium naturally occurring in foods. Selenomethionine is rapidly and completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and plays a central role in the regulation of the thyroid, immune system, and detoxification pathways.
