Selenium Hevert 200 µg – vital for the immune system, cell protection and thyroid

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

Essential nutrient selenium

Adequate selenium intake is crucial for many bodily functions. Selenium Hevert 200 µg supports this.

• the function of the immune system

Selenium supports both the body's innate, non-specific immune response and its acquired, specific immune response. This occurs, among other things, through the increased production of natural killer cells and by stimulating cytotoxic T cells to mount a more effective immune response. These T cells, for example, neutralize cells infected by viruses.

• protecting cells from oxidative stress

Oxidative stress occurs when high levels of stress lead to an increased production of free radicals that are no longer neutralized quickly enough by antioxidants. This can result in cell damage. Selenium plays a central role in the body's antioxidant defense system: As a component of selenoproteins, it helps to break down harmful oxygen compounds and thus reduce oxidative stress.

• thyroid function

Selenium also ensures that the thyroid gland functions properly. It is present in high concentrations within the thyroid gland and protects the organ from oxidative stress. It is also a component of the enzymes necessary for the production of thyroid hormones. The thyroid gland regulates many metabolic processes in the body, including energy metabolism, thermoregulation, and blood pressure.

• sperm production

Selenium is essential for male fertility, as it is involved in sperm formation and maturation. It supports sperm motility and, through its antioxidant properties, protects them from damage caused by free radicals.

• maintaining healthy hair and nails

Selenium contributes to the health of hair and nails by supporting cell growth as a component of enzymes and protecting the hair follicles and nail matrix.

Individually dosable and with good bioavailability

Selenium Hevert 200 µg contains sodium selenite, an inorganic form of selenium with 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 with selenomethionine this is only possible after conversion. Therefore, it can compensate for an insufficient supply of selenium particularly quickly.

Each tablet contains 200 µg of selenium. The tablets are small and easy to swallow. They are also scored, allowing for individual dosing of 100 µg or 200 µg. Selenium Hevert 200 µg is available in a value pack of 200 tablets. It is manufactured in Germany, vegan, lactose-free, gluten-free, and free of artificial colors and preservatives.

Application

Adults swallow ½ to 1 tablet daily with sufficient liquid at a meal, as needed.

Warning

The stated recommended daily intake must not be exceeded. Food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced, varied diet and a healthy lifestyle.

The intake of other selenium-containing preparations should be avoided.
