NSI High Selenium Yeast -- 200 mcg - 120 Capsules

NSI High Selenium Yeast -- 200 mcg - 120 Capsules

NSI® Natural High Selenium Yeast boosts antioxidant activity in the body to protect tissues from free-radical damage. It also supports healthy immune function and prostate health.  How does NSI® Natural High Selenium Yeast work? Selenium is a trace mineral found in soil and water. It is also found in certain foods. Brazil nuts are the best source of selenium, while yeast, whole grains and seafood are also good sources. Selenium promotes antioxidant activity in the body via glutathione peroxidase (GPX), a selenium dependent enzyme. As an antioxidant, selenium helps guard cells against free radical damage within the body, and as such supports healthy eyes, lungs and other organs that may be subject to oxidative stress. Selenium also contributes to healthy functioning of both the immune system and the thyroid gland. In addition, studies suggest that selenium promotes healthy prostate function in men and healthy breast tissue in women.  . NSI® Natural High Selenium Yeast is a potent dietary supplement that contains 200 mcg of selenium as organically bound selenium-enriched yeast (SE-yeast).  . Organically bound selenium is derived from yeast, single-cell fungi capable of utilizing elemental selenium to produce selenomethionine. The selenomethionine form of selenium is natural and quickly metabolized, allowing for high bioavailability and retention within the body. Because they are metabolized more quickly, organic sources are also safer than non-organic forms of the mineral because there is reduced possibility of selenium toxicity. NSI® Natural High Selenium Yeast is better because it:. Supplies 200 mcg of selenium, an optimal supplemental amount of the mineral. Provides the mineral as an organically bound selenium yeast, allowing for increased absorption and retention. Did You Know? All NSI supplements are packaged in HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) bottles. These bottles keep moisture vapor out, protecting the freshness and integrity of their contents, and are 400% more effective compared other brands currently using PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) bottles. HDPE bottles do not break as glass can and are also recyclable so we urge you to please recycle them.

"The organically bound high selenium yeast contained in this product is potent and effective in boosting my glutathione level and my immune system. I experienced fatigue for a couple of weeks when I started taking this as the glutathione worked to rid my system of toxins/heavy metals. To avoid fatigue, I suggest starting with a lower dose and increase gradually."
