Selen Hevert 200 µg

Selenium is an essential trace element that is involved in many metabolic processes in the body. However, it cannot be produced by the body, but must be obtained through food. Since the soil in many regions of Europe, including Germany, is often low in selenium, foods such as grains and vegetables contain only small amounts of selenium. People with special diets or increased needs should pay particular attention to ensuring an adequate intake. Selenium deficiency can manifest itself in various symptoms, including fatigue, susceptibility to infections, hair loss, or thyroid problems.

Selenium, an essential nutrient

A sufficient supply of selenium is crucial for many bodily functions. Selenium Hevert 200 µg supports:

• the function of the immune system
  Selenium supports both the body’s innate, non-specific immune response and its acquired, specific immune response. Among other things, this is achieved through the increased formation of natural killer cells and by stimulating cytotoxic T cells to produce a more effective immune response. These T cells render virus-infected cells harmless, for example.
   
• Protecting cells from oxidative stress
  Oxidative stress occurs when high levels of stress in the cells lead to an increase in free radicals that cannot be neutralized quickly enough by antioxidants. This can lead to cell damage. Selenium plays a central role in the body’s antioxidant protection system. As a component of selenoproteins, it helps to break down harmful oxygen compounds, thereby reducing oxidative stress.
   
• Thyroid function 
  Selenium ensures that the thyroid gland functions properly. This trace element is found in high concentrations in the thyroid gland and protects the organ from oxidative stress. Selenium is also a component of the enzymes necessary for the formation of thyroid hormones. The thyroid gland controls many metabolic processes in the body, including energy metabolism, heat balance, and blood pressure.
   
• Sperm formation
  Selenium is essential for male fertility as it is involved in the formation and maturation of sperm. It supports sperm motility and protects them from damage by free radicals thanks to its antioxidant properties.
   
• Maintaining healthy hair and nails
  Selenium contributes to healthy hair and nails by supporting cell growth as a component of enzymes and protecting hair follicles and the nail matrix.

Individually Adjustable and with Good Bioavailability

Selen Hevert 200 µg contains inorganic selenium in the form of sodium selenite, which has good bioavailability. Sodium selenite has the advantage over organic selenium (e.g., selenomethionine) that it can be directly incorporated into selenoproteins, which protect cell tissue from oxidative stress, whereas selenomethionine requires conversion first. Therefore, sodium selenite can quickly compensate for an insufficient selenium supply.

Each tablet contains 200 µg of selenium. The tablets are small and easy to swallow. They are also divisible, allowing individual dosing of 100 µg or 200 µg. Selen Hevert 200 µg is offered in a cost-effective value pack with 200 tablets. It is manufactured in Germany, vegan, lactose- and gluten-free, and free from colorants and preservatives.

Selen Hevert 200 µg – an essential nutrient for the immune system, cell protection, thyroid function, sperm production, hair, and nails. Individually adjustable dosage and good bioavailability.

Selen Hevert 200 µg is especially suitable for people who:

• want to support their immune system
• suffer from prolonged stress during times of high demand
• have an insufficient selenium supply, e.g., in older    age
• want to support thyroid function
• want to maintain healthy sperm production
• follow a vegan or vegetarian diet
