Manufacturer: Life Extension As an essential cofactor of glutathione peroxidase73, selenium is an important antioxidant.73-75 It is also involved with iodine metabolism76, DNA repair75, immune function,77,78 and the detoxification of heavy metals.79 High doses of vitamin C (over 1 gram) may reduce the absorption of selenium. This mineral is best taken one hour before or 20 minutes after taking vitamin C supplements.80 Se-Methylselenocysteine (SeMC) is a naturally occurring seleno-amino acid that is synthesized by plants such as garlic and broccoli.82,83 Unlike selenomethionine, which is incorporated into proteins in place of methionine, SeMC is not incorporated into any proteins, thereby being fully available for the synthesis of selenium-containing enzymes such as glutathione peroxidase.84 Supplement Facts Serving Size 1 capsule | Servings Per Container 100 | Amount Per Serving | Selenium | 200 mcg | (as Se-methylselenocysteine) | | Other ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose, gelatin, magnesium stearate. | Contains soybeans.
