Apexx Log - Selenium (L-Selenomethionine) 

Category: Essential trace mineral 
Form Used in Apexx01: L-Selenomethionine 
Dose per Serving: 100 µg (181.82%) 
Verification: EU lab testing for identity, purity, and heavy metals 

What Selenium Is 

Selenium is a trace mineral critical for antioxidant defense, thyroid function, immune health, and cellular protection. 
It is required for selenoproteins, including glutathione peroxidases, central to oxidative stress regulation. 

Selenium acts as a molecular safeguard. 

Why Selenium Is Included in Apexx01 

Selenium contributes to EFSA-authorised functions: 

  • normal function of the immune system 

  • normal thyroid function 

  • protection of cells from oxidative stress 

  • normal spermatogenesis 

  • maintenance of normal hair and nails 

Its antioxidant and metabolic roles make it an essential part of daily support. 

Why This Form: L-Selenomethionine 

L-Selenomethionine is selected because: 

  • it is naturally occurring and well-absorbed 

  • it integrates effectively into selenoproteins 

  • it demonstrates superior stability in multi-nutrient formulas 

  • identity and purity can be verified with high precision 

This form provides predictable, biologically active selenium. 

Why This Dose: 100 µg 

This dosage: 

  • aligns with EU recommended intakes 

  • supports thyroid enzyme activity 

  • complements iodine, zinc, and vitamin E 

  • remains fully within long-term safety parameters 

It provides functional support without approaching upper limits. 

How Selenium Works Inside the Full Formula 

Selenium synergises with: 

  • Glutathione → antioxidant defense 

  • Vitamin E → protection from oxidative stress 

  • Iodine → thyroid hormone metabolism 

  • CoQ10 → cellular energy pathways 

Selenium strengthens the antioxidant and thyroid-regulation layers of the protocol. 

Verification & Testing 

Each batch undergoes: 

  • identity confirmation 

  • heavy metal analysis 

  • purity verification 

  • stability checks 

All documented in a Certificate of Analysis. 

Compliant Summary 

  • Form: L-Selenomethionine 

  • Dose: 100 µg 

  • EFSA-authorised functions for immunity, antioxidant protection, and thyroid function 

  • Independently verified
