Healthy Origins Selenium 200 mcg (Seleno Excell, Fermented, Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Bladder Support, Immune Function, Cellular Support), 180 Capsules

I hate to use the word ‘Game changer’…. But this is the only way to describe this product. I was always so scared to supplement with selenium because of possible toxicity. All while I have been so incredibly deficient. This was the missing piece to so many of my ailments throughout the years. I am on my road to recovering and getting my levels up to optimal levels.

Scientific studies say that SelenoExcell (Selenium as High Selenium Yeast) works just as well - no better and no worse - as sodium selenite capsules at slightly improving our overall health. Therefore, shop around for the better price.Zinc, selenium, and iodine are the 3 beneficial antioxidant minerals. Iron, copper, manganese, and aluminum are the 4 pro-oxidants (very dangerous if consumed in excess). Arsenic, lead, cadmium, mercury, and barium are the 5 toxic heavy metals. Beryllium (toxic lightweight metal) and radioactive isotopes would also be detrimental to our health if consumed in excess (for example, Brazil nuts contain a very small amount of radioactive radium).In addition, plant-source foods very frequently contain the following mycotoxins, which are even more dangerous to our health than any of the above-mentioned toxic metals:aflatoxins, fumonisins, ochratoxins, zearalenone, patulin, citrinin, viomellein, sterigmatocystin, A. fumigatus gliotoxin, cyclochlorotine, luteoskyrin and rugulosin, P. jirovecii, C. immitis and C. posadasii, B. dermatitidis, C. gattii VGIIc, phomopsins, tremorgens (penitrems and roquefortines), ergot alkaloids (clavines, ergopeptines, and lysergic acid amides), type A trichothecenes (T-2 toxin, HT-2 toxin, Stachybotrys satratoxins, and diacetoxyscirpenol), and type B trichothecenes (nivalenol, deoxynivalenol, 3-acetyldeoxynivalenol, and 15-acetyldeoxynivalenol).Many other mycotoxins, including slaframine, moniliformin, sporidesmin [facial eczema], and Neotyphodium fungal endosymbiont toxins, will only afflict plant-eating farm animals.Scientific studies also say that the healthiest selenium compounds are manufactured by plants such as garlic, onions, green onions, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, red radishes, giant white turnips (daikon), soybeans, and mushrooms. These plant-source organic selenium compounds are much more complex and very different from SelenoExcell's yeast-bound selenium. Unfortunately, farmers usually do not enrich their soils with added selenium because it just wastes their money and doesn't make their crops grow any better.Brazil nuts (highest), skipjack tuna [Chunk Light Tuna](2nd highest), other wild ocean fish (3rd highest), wheat germ, and shiitake mushrooms are the 5 foods that contain the most selenium. Of the 3 beneficial antioxidant minerals (zinc, selenium, and iodine), only selenium can bind to mercury and remove it from our bodies.Don't forget: Radioactive radon gas, which sneaks into our homes from underground, kills millions of people every year by shooting deadly alpha particles at our lungs and causing lung cancer.

They are capsules not pills as some have said and shown pictures of.Selenium is essential and we probably don't get enough of it from food because it comes from the soil and gets washed away or used up. Should only use the smallest amount necessary. I have read about selenium being essential for removing Mercury from the body so if you eat lots of tuna, sardines, salmon or other fish, you are exposed to mercury and might want to consider taking this supplement. It also helps hair grow but too much can cause hair to drop. Every other day or so or after eating the fish I mentioned would be good times to take this supplement however never excessive amounts. Please do your research on this. Certain forms are more bioavailable than others.

This was the form used in studies on cancer prevention, it’s hard to find. You can also get selenium from Brazil nuts which has the highest quality of protein. Cheaper forms can be toxic.

This little pill is so easy to swallow. Even if you have difficulty swallowing pills you won’t have a problem with this one. As far as how it makes you feel that’s not easily determined. I know this much, it doesn’t upset my stomach and I don’t feel any other side effects so that’s a plus. And let’s be honest, it usually takes awhile before any vitamin or supplement kicks in and a person call tell a difference.

Since I am hypothyroid I've been looking into ways to heal my condition and compliment the medicine I have to take. I first became aware of Selenium upon reading the book The Iodine Crisis- The Iodine Crisis: What You Don't Know About Iodine Can Wreck Your Life. The book is about using Iodine Therapy to heal health problems and recommends that you take 200 mcg of selenium every day. It is critical to thyroid health. Selenium is found in food, but because it comes from the soil if the soil isn't healthy or depleted of selenium than you might not be getting enough.These pills are small and round. They do have a strong odor of yeast because they are made from yeast. It's free of artificial flavors, colors and sweeteners. It does contain Magnesium Stearate which some people like to avoid.I think these pills are easy to take and very affordable. All you have to do is take one a day to maintain health and this bottle will last 6 months. At five dollars for this bottle that lasts half a year that's less than one dollar a month.
