Se-Methyl L-Selenocysteine
200 mcg, 90 vegetarian capsules
Item #: 01879 |
Se-Methyl L-Selenocysteine is a
naturally occurring compound of selenium that helps protect
cells and tissues from oxidative damage and supports both
healthy cell function and cell division.
Selenium is incorporated into proteins to make selenoproteins, which are
important antioxidant enzymes that help block cellular damage from free
radicals and support healthy cell function. Se-Methyl L-Selenocysteine (SeMC)
is a naturally occurring seleno-amino acid that is synthesized by plants
such as garlic and broccoli.
Se-Methyl L-Selenocysteine has been shown in
clinical studies to be absorbed faster than other forms of selenium.
Se-Methyl L-Selenocysteine Benefits
-
Supports healthy cell function & cell division
-
Helps protect cells & tissues from oxidative
damage
-
Optimizes thyroid hormone synthesis & activity
-
Supports immune health

Get the Selenium You Need
Selenium is an essential micronutrient for human health. In the
body, it is incorporated into enzymes and other proteins to make
vital compounds known as selenoproteins.
Se-Methyl L-Selenocysteine (MSeC) is an organic selenium
compound that is more absorbable than inorganic selenium salts
typically used in supplements. Perhaps the best-known
selenoprotein is the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase.
Each molecule of glutathione peroxidase requires four
selenocysteine units and catalyzes a reaction in which a free
radical is scavenged by glutathione.
By balancing cellular oxidation and reduction reactions,
glutathione peroxidase and other selenoproteins protect cells
and tissues from oxidative damage and support healthy cell
function and cell division.
Forms of Selenium
Selenium, as selenocysteine, is also part of an enzyme that
helps regulate the activation of thyroid hormone. Selenium helps
with maintenance of healthy cognition, mood and metabolism by
protecting thyroid gland function and optimizing thyroid hormone
synthesis and activity.
Combining with Vitamins
Maintaining optimal selenium status can help ensure proper
regulation of the immune system. In addition to stimulating T
cells, natural killer (NK) cells and other immune cells,
selenium also supports healthy inflammatory immune activity.
Selenium appears to act synergistically with vitamin E to
protect lipids and support immune health. Its absorption and
bioavailability are increased in the presence of vitamins A, C,
D and E.
Organic compound
Se-Methyl L-Selenocysteine (MSeC) is a naturally occurring
selenium compound that is synthesized by plants such as garlic
and broccoli and has demonstrated positive effects on cell
function. As an organic selenium compound, MSeC is more
absorbable than inorganic selenium salts typically used in
supplements. Unlike selenomethionine, MSeC is closely related to
the physiologic form, selenocysteine, needed to synthesize
selenoproteins such as glutathione peroxidase.
