200 µg Selenium as selenomethionine

Selenium is a trace element that the body needs only in very small amounts. Vitalplant selenium capsules provide 200 micrograms per capsule, bound as selenomethionine.

Why the binding form matters

Selenomethionine is an organic selenium compound. The selenium in it sits in the position where sulfur would otherwise be in the amino acid methionine. Inorganic alternatives such as sodium selenite are structured differently.

200 micrograms correspond to 363 percent of the nutrient reference value. The amount is given in micrograms, not milligrams — with selenium, required amounts are a thousand times lower than, for example, with magnesium.

400 mg buckwheat germ extract. The plant extract forms the capsule matrix. Despite its name, buckwheat is not a grain, but a knotweed plant and therefore naturally gluten-free.

What selenium does

Selenium contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and normal nails. It helps protect cells from oxidative stress and contributes to normal thyroid function.

Selenium also contributes to normal sperm production. All of the claims listed are included in the EU Register of authorized health claims.

Selenium capsules: composition and quality

The formula consists of three ingredients: buckwheat germ extract, selenomethionine, and the capsule shell made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. No fillers, no anti-caking agents, no colorants. The product is vegan and gluten-free, bottled in amber glass. Every batch is tested for heavy metals by an independent laboratory.

Behind Vitalplant is Christian Lazar, a licensed pharmacist with over 35 years of professional experience at Stern Apotheke.

Buckwheat sprout extract, selenomethionine, veg. capsule shell: hydroxypropylmethylcellulose

Recommended intake: Take 1 capsule daily, unchewed, with sufficient liquid.

Important information: Food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced and varied diet and lifestyle. The stated recommended daily intake must not be exceeded. Keep out of reach of small children.

Allergens: According to the raw material specification, it contains no allergens requiring declaration under Annex II of Regulation (EU) No. 1169/2011.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, do not freeze, and protect from direct sunlight.

Selenium sits in sulfur's slot

In the periodic table, selenium sits directly below sulfur, in the same group. Elements in a group behave similarly chemically, and that is exactly what the bonding form in these capsules is based on.

In selenomethionine, selenium takes exactly the position where a sulfur atom would otherwise sit in the amino acid methionine. Plants and yeasts build it into themselves this way when selenium-rich soil or an enriched nutrient medium is available. Selenium yeast is nothing else, just another common commercial form. Inorganic compounds such as sodium selenite and sodium selenate, by contrast, are simple salts without an amino acid shell.

Why the soil determines the content

No other nutrient depends so directly on geology. Plants take up only what is present in the soil, and the selenium content of European soils is naturally low, while the Great Plains of North America and parts of China are significantly higher.

This is most striking with Brazil nuts: they come from trees with deep roots in selenium-rich Amazon soils, and their content varies by batch and even from nut to nut by a multiple. In the EU, animal feed has therefore been supplemented with selenium for a long time, which is why eggs, fish, and meat are among the more reliable sources here.

A narrow range between requirement and maximum amount

The nutrient reference value for selenium is 55 micrograms; the estimated values of the German Nutrition Society are 60 micrograms for women and 70 for men.

For selenium, requirement and tolerable total intake are closer together than for most other nutrients. That makes this trace element one of the few where adding everything up is really worthwhile: anyone who takes a multivitamin, a combined thyroid product, or Brazil nuts regularly in addition to this product should total the amounts and, if in doubt, consult a doctor.

Micrograms, not milligrams

200 micrograms are two ten-thousandths of a gram. By comparison, the same reference table lists magnesium at 375 milligrams, almost 7,000 times as much.

Such an amount cannot be filled on its own; as a heap it would be barely visible and could not be distributed evenly across thousands of capsules. That is why every selenium capsule needs a carrier substance in which the raw material is finely dispersed. In our case, a plant extract takes this role instead of a mineral separating agent.

Our Selenium 200 capsules are manufactured to the highest quality standards and independently tested for heavy metals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Take one capsule daily whole with plenty of liquid. The recommended intake does not require taking it with a meal. A fixed time helps more than the clock time itself.

200 µg selenium, which corresponds to 363 percent of the nutrient reference value of 55 µg. For context: the tolerable total daily intake derived by EFSA is 300 µg per day. The product is below that, but clearly in the upper range. Therefore, no second selenium-containing supplement should be taken alongside it.

Selenomethionine is the organic form: here, selenium takes the place of sulfur in the amino acid methionine. Selenium also occurs in this form in foods such as Brazil nuts and grains. Sodium selenite, by contrast, is an inorganic compound. In our range, you will find both forms, depending on the product.

Selenium contributes to the normal function of the immune system, to normal thyroid function, to the maintenance of normal hair and nails, to normal sperm formation, and to protecting cells from oxidative stress.

Because the selenium content of foods depends directly on the soil they grow in. Central European soils are comparatively low in selenium, while North American soils are rich in selenium. The same wheat therefore provides very different amounts depending on the growing region. Brazil nuts are considered particularly rich in selenium, but they also vary greatly.

It serves as a plant-based carrier substance with 400 mg per capsule. Without it, the capsule would be practically empty, because 200 µg of selenium is a tiny amount. Despite its name, buckwheat is not a grain, but a member of the knotweed family and naturally gluten-free.

Caution is advised with selenium. It is also contained in Prosta Plant, the men's capsules, the Immune Complex, and the Joint Complex. Do not take two selenium-containing products at the same time without adding up the daily amounts. If you take medication regularly, it is best to check the combination at the pharmacy.

The can contains 90 capsules and, at one capsule per day, lasts exactly 90 days, or a quarter of a year. The ingredients list has three entries: buckwheat sprout extract, selenomethionine, and the capsule shell. Bottled in amber glass; store in a cool, dry place.
