Selen plus Acerola Vitamin C | 120 Kapseln

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 sperm³ - and therefore male fertility - as well as to the thyroid⁴, 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.

For those seeking a clean alternative, selenium yeast offers a well-controlled source of organic selenium. Its major advantage: just like the plants from which we derive most of our selenium, selenium-enriched yeast contains primarily highly bioavailable selenomethionine. Unlike sodium selenite, this form combines effectively with vitamin C (ascorbic acid)—a smart combination. After all, selenium and vitamin C are perfect partners when it comes to our immune system¹, protecting our cells from oxidative stress², and our appearance. Firm skin⁵, elastic blood vessels⁶, healthy gums⁷, and strong bones⁸ and teeth⁹, all of this would be unthinkable without collagen, the structural protein that relies on vitamin C for its formation. Vitamin C from acerola cherries and selenium yeast make an appealing combination for anyone who values ​​their appearance: while our skin⁵ benefits from vitamin C, selenium primarily supports our hair¹⁰ and nails¹¹.
