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:
-
