Selenase® 100 XL Tablets

Food supplement with 100 µg inorganic selenium in the form of sodium selenite to support a normal immune system function and protect cells from oxidative stress.

Selenase® 100 XL is used for the targeted supplementation of daily selenium intake. Each tablet contains 100 µg of selenium in the form of sodium selenite pentahydrate.

Selenium is an essential trace element that the body cannot produce itself and must therefore be regularly consumed through food. It fulfills important functions in antioxidant cell protection, the immune system, and the maintenance of normal hair and nails.

Food supplement with inorganic selenium (sodium selenite); available in pharmacies.

What is Selenase® 100 XL?

Selenase® 100 XL is a food supplement for optimizing selenium supply.

One tablet contains 100 µg of selenium, corresponding to 0.333 mg of sodium selenite pentahydrate. This corresponds to 182% of the nutrient reference value (NRV) for selenium.

Selenium is a component of various endogenous selenium proteins and enzymes and thus performs important tasks in metabolism and in the protection of body cells.

What are the functions of selenium?

Selenium contributes to:

• a normal function of the immune system

• the protection of cells from oxidative stress

• the maintenance of normal hair

• the maintenance of normal nails

• a normal thyroid function

• normal sperm formation

Thus, an adequate selenium supply is important for various physiological functions of the body.

Selenium and the immune system

Selenium contributes to a normal function of the immune system.

As a component of various selenoproteins, the trace element is involved in the body's own protective mechanisms. An adequate supply thus supports the normal functions of the immune defense.

Selenium and oxidative stress

Selenium helps protect cells from oxidative stress.

Oxidative stress is caused, among other things, by so-called free radicals or reactive oxygen compounds. These occur naturally in metabolism and also perform important biological functions in controlled amounts.

An excess, however, can stress cellular components. Therefore, the body has antioxidant protection systems that support a balance between oxidative and antioxidative processes.

Selenium is a component of various selenoproteins, many of which have antioxidant functions.

How does selenium protect cells?

Selenium is a component of important enzymes and proteins of the body's own antioxidant protection system.

These systems help to control reactive oxygen compounds and protect cells from oxidative stress.

In the case of an insufficient selenium supply, the normal function of selenium-dependent enzymes and proteins can be impaired.

Selenium for hair and nails

Selenium contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and nails.

An adequate supply of the trace element thus supports not only the immune system and antioxidant cell protection but also the normal condition of hair and nails.

Selenium and thyroid

Selenium contributes to a normal thyroid function.

The thyroid gland is one of the organs with a comparatively high selenium concentration. Selenium-dependent enzymes are involved in various processes of thyroid metabolism.

An adequate selenium supply therefore contributes to the maintenance of normal thyroid function.

Selenium and pregnancy

Oxidative processes also play a physiological role during pregnancy.

During the development of the placenta, oxygen supply changes. With increasing oxygen content, more reactive oxygen compounds can be formed at the same time.

The body's own antioxidant systems help to maintain the necessary balance. Selenium is a component of these antioxidant protective mechanisms.

The use of food supplements during pregnancy should be discussed with a doctor or pharmacist.

Recommended intake

Take one tablet daily with sufficient liquid.

The recommended daily intake should not be exceeded.

Dosage form

Tablets.

Nutrient per tablet

Selenium: 100 µg

This corresponds to 182% of the nutrient reference value (NRV).

Important notes

Food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced and varied diet and a healthy lifestyle.

Do not exceed the recommended daily intake.

When taking other selenium-containing food supplements simultaneously, the total daily selenium intake should be considered.

Keep out of reach of small children.

Side effects and tolerability

When taken as intended and according to the recommended dosage, Selenase® 100 XL is generally well tolerated.

A persistently excessively high selenium intake should be avoided. Chronically high selenium intake can lead to symptoms such as nausea, gastrointestinal complaints, and changes in hair and nails, among others.

In case of unusual symptoms, discontinue use and seek medical or pharmaceutical advice.
