Hydroponically cultivated SelenoForce® is a safe source of supplemental selenium grown in selenium fertilized soilless environment.
SelenoForce® is manufactured by a patented process demonstrated to reproducibly meet compositional specifications, to yield a stable, selenium-enriched product.
SelenoForce® contains Organoselenium compounds in configured proportions to manifest optimal biological properties.
Selenium is an essential nutrient for several biochemical pathways, in the form of various selenoproteins, whose functioning is strictly selenium-dependent. Their synthesis is affected in case of selenium deficiency/restricted dietary intake. Selenium is present in the form of selenocysteine in selenoproteins.
Owing to its antioxidant and immune support potential, role of selenium supplementation in reducing several degenerative diseases and maintaining optimal health has been widely studied.
Recommendation for selenium and other nutrients are developed by the Food and Nutrition Board (FNB) at the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies (formerly known as National Academy of Sciences).
The Institute of Medicine of the National Academies report also established tolerable upper intake level for selenium is 400 μg/day. These upper limits for adults were set to protect the most sensitive individuals of the general population.
Studies have shown that bioavailability of organically bound forms of selenium is greater than inorganic forms.
Generally about 80% of dietary selenium is absorbed by the body. However, factors like chemical species present in the diet, high dietary sulphur content (probably through competition owing to structural similarity) may retard selenium absorption.
