Selenium Tablet

Selenium Tablets are trace mineral supplements that provide selenium, an essential mineral the body needs in small amounts. Selenium contributes to normal thyroid function, normal immune function, the maintenance of normal hair and nails, normal sperm formation and the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

Arizone International manufactures and supplies Selenium Tablets in organic and inorganic forms, alone or in antioxidant and thyroid formulas, for nutraceutical brands and private label businesses.

A Mineral That Depends on Soil

The amount of selenium in food depends heavily on how much selenium is in the soil where it was grown. Soils vary enormously around the world. In a region of China called Keshan, very low soil selenium once led to a serious heart condition in children, now known as Keshan disease, which was largely prevented by selenium supplementation. In contrast, a few regions, including parts of Punjab in India, have naturally high-selenium soils.

Brazil nuts are famously rich in selenium, and just one or two nuts can provide a day's needs. Fish, eggs, meat, whole grains and mushrooms are other sources.

How Selenium Works

Selenium is built into special proteins called selenoproteins. These include glutathione peroxidases, which protect cells from oxidative damage, and deiodinases, which convert the thyroid hormone T4 into its active form, T3. The thyroid gland contains more selenium per gram than any other organ.

Forms of Selenium

• L-SelenomethionineAn organic form found naturally in food, well absorbed.
• Selenium YeastYeast grown in a selenium-rich medium, containing mainly selenomethionine.
• Sodium Selenite and Sodium SelenateInorganic forms used in many multivitamins.

Applications

• Thyroid wellness formulas with iodine, zinc and tyrosine
• Antioxidant tablets with vitamins A, C and E
• Men's fertility and wellness formulas
• Hair and nail supplements
• Immune support blends
• Private label mineral ranges

Formulation Notes

Selenium is needed in micrograms. Supplements usually provide 50 mcg to 200 mcg. Because the dose is so small, selenium is added as a diluted pre-mix, and every batch is tested for content uniformity.

Safety Notes

The gap between a helpful and a harmful dose of selenium is fairly narrow. Too much selenium over time causes selenosis, with signs such as a garlic smell on the breath, hair loss, brittle nails, skin rashes and nerve problems. Upper limits apply in most regions, for example 400 mcg per day for adults in the United States and 255 mcg per day in the European Union. Consumers should count selenium from all supplements and Brazil nuts. People with thyroid conditions should consult a doctor.

Quality Considerations

• Selenium form and elemental selenium assay
• Content uniformity for microgram-level doses
• Heavy metals and microbiology
• Tablet hardness and disintegration
• Batch consistency and Certificate of Analysis

Tips for Buyers and Formulators

Selenium is needed in micrograms and has a narrow safe range, so accurate mixing and content uniformity testing are essential. Keep doses within the upper limit for your market.
