What is Selenium?

Selenium is a chemical element, a trace element, a useful molecule and even essential for life, but in very small quantities. It is naturally present in soils all over the planet.

Selenium: an essential supplement

If Selenium is present in the composition of most food supplements, it is no accident. As a trace element, that is to say as a mineral present in trace amounts in the body, it is vital for many physiological processes. This bio-element is involved through various metabolic reactions in the body. However, its intake must be controlled because of its potential toxicity in the event of too large a dosage.

Selenium is essential for the functioning of a group of enzymes, the selenoproteins. The best known of these enzymes is glutathione peroxidase (GPx), which is part of our body's anti-oxidant defense system and contributes to the elimination of free radicals. Thioredoxin reductase is another main enzyme that regenerates cellular defense systems against oxidative stress. This is why Selenium plays a decisive role in activating the body's defense reactions and in protecting cells against oxidative stress.

What are the sources of selenium?

Selenium is not manufactured by the human body, it is therefore essential to provide the body with sufficient daily doses via a chosen diet. This molecule is present in all foods rich in protein, in certain raw vegetables, oilseeds or whole grains.

This trace element can be supplied to the body via products of animal origin or via plant sources. Selenium which comes from plants is only an interesting source if the soils are rich in it, ditto for animal sources, the Selenium content is directly linked to animal feed.

Selenium is particularly concentrated in fish, meats, shellfish, seafood, offal and in egg yolk. Cheese, tuna, salmon, herring, liver or poultry are examples of foods that meet our needs in Selenium.

On the vegetal side, the Brazil nut is the most interesting source. Selenium can also be found in fruits and vegetables such as mushrooms, cabbage, broccoli or red peppers. Oilseeds and whole grains are also sources to consider.
