Selen plus Acerola Vitamin C

Similar to its big brother zinc, selenium is a key component of enzymes in many parts of the body. This applies to the formation of sperm - and therefore male fertility - as well as to the thyroid, which controls important metabolic processes and determines our body weight, the rhythm of our heartbeat and our psyche.

How well we are supplied with selenium depends largely on where we live. Adults in Germany consume an average of 30 to 50 µg per day - slightly less than the German Nutrition Society recommends of 60 to 70 µg per day. Brazil nuts, which are among the absolute leaders in terms of selenium content, are often considered an “insider tip”. Unfortunately, Brazil nuts not only collect selenium, but also radioactive radium and should therefore only be consumed in moderation.

If you are looking for an uncontaminated alternative, selenium yeast is a well-controlled organic source of selenium. Its great advantage: just like plants, from which we absorb most of our selenium, selenium-enriched yeast primarily contains selenomethionine, which is readily bioavailable and - unlike sodium selenite - can be combined well with vitamin C (ascorbic acid). A clever combination.

After all, selenium and vitamin C are perfect partners when it comes to our immune system, protecting our cells from oxidative stress and our appearance. Firm skin, elastic blood vessels, strong gums, stable bones and teeth - all of these would be unthinkable without the structural agent collagen, for the formation of which we depend on vitamin C. Vitamin C from the acerola cherry and selenium yeast - an attractive combination for anyone who values good looks: While our skin benefits from vitamin C, selenium is particularly beneficial for our hair and nails.
