Vital Nutrients - Selenium

1. Bioavailability

This selenium formula combines two forms to deliver both quick activity and sustained tissue retention.

• 50/50 blend of sodium selenite and selenomethionine — covers both inorganic and organic forms

• Selenomethionine — amino acid–bound form, generally better absorbed and retained in tissues

• Sodium selenite — slightly lower absorption but offers more immediate activity

• Provides a balanced spectrum of selenium’s antioxidant and enzymatic roles

2. Dosage / Potency

It delivers a robust yet safe dose of selenium for antioxidant, thyroid, and immune support.

• 200 mcg selenium per capsule = 364% DV — strong supplemental level

• Above a basic foundational dose but still below the adult upper limit (400 mcg/day)

• High-potency design — suitable for targeted support or filling dietary gaps

• Well aligned with common research-based dosing ranges

3. Source

A straightforward mineral supplement using standardized nutrient forms rather than food-based blends.

• Not food-based — pure selenium compounds

• Vegan capsule — cellulose/tapioca carriers for stability

• Suitable for most diets — simple delivery with no unnecessary extras

• Focused on reliable, consistent dosing

4. Excipients / Fillers
