Selenium

The selenium from Greatlife is the best selenium we have found. It is a high-quality, easily absorbed form of selenium that helps support the immune system, protect cells against oxidative stress, and maintain healthy thyroid function. Selenium is also important for normal energy metabolism and contributes to fertility and reproduction. It is gentle on the stomach and has high bioavailability, making it an excellent choice for all ages. This supplement is pure, free from additives, toxins, and GMOs.

Selenium supports the normal function of the immune system, normal energy metabolism, and protects cells from oxidative stress. It helps maintain normal thyroid function and plays an essential role in the body’s antioxidant defense. If you are not getting enough selenium from your diet, a supplement may be necessary.

The selenium in Greatlife's supplement is in the form of selenomethionine. It is an organic form of selenium, where selenium is bound to the amino acid methionine. This form is considered one of the most bioavailable and easily absorbed sources of selenium, meaning that the body can effectively absorb and utilize selenium from selenomethionine.

Benefits of Selenomethionine

• High bioavailability: Selenomethionine is better absorbed by the body than other forms of selenium, making it a great choice for those looking to optimize their intake of this mineral.
• Supports the immune system: Selenomethionine plays a vital role in supporting a normal immune system and protecting cells against oxidative stress.
• Thyroid function: Selenomethionine is also important for maintaining normal thyroid function, as selenium is an essential component in the production of thyroid hormones.
• Antioxidant properties: Selenium is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals, which can help reduce the effects of aging and the risk of chronic diseases.
• Because selenomethionine is an organic form of selenium, it is considered more effective than inorganic selenium forms, such as sodium selenite or sodium selenate, in raising selenium levels in the body.
• Selenomethionine is also gentle on the stomach and can be used by individuals who are sensitive to other forms of selenium.

Better Absorption

Selenomethionine is effectively absorbed by the body and has high bioavailability, making it a great choice for anyone looking to maximize their selenium intake.

Selenium SELECT®

The selenium in Greatlife's selenium supplement comes from Selenium SELECT®. Common "chelated" and "organically bound" selenium is not the same as Selenium SELECT®, as these forms release inorganic selenium in the body. Selenium SELECT® is a unique, single chemical compound where selenium is molecularly integrated into methionine instead of sulfur. This allows it to be directly absorbed by proteins in the body through the same metabolic processes as methionine.

Benefits of Selenium SELECT®:

• High safety and bioavailability: It has better absorption and safety compared to traditional mixtures of selenium and methionine.
• Supports the body’s detoxification processes: The organically bound form of selenium in Selenium SELECT® plays an important role in the body’s natural detox processes.
• Natural L-(+)-form of selenomethionine: This form is crucial for effectiveness, as amino acids in living cells primarily occur in the L-(+)-form.

Selenium SELECT® contains the biologically active L-(+)-form of selenomethionine. This distinguishes the product from others that simply mix inorganic selenium salts with methionine. Thanks to its high safety and scientifically proven superior bioavailability, Selenium SELECT® is the preferred form of selenium for selenium supplements.
