Selenium 200µg (as L-selenomethionine and sodium selenite) Lamberts

Selenium 200µg(as L-selenomethionine and sodium selenite) Lamberts uses a combination of L-selenomethionine and sodium selenite - both of which are well-researched forms of seleniumEach tablet contains 200µg of selenium, more than twice the level found in most multivitamin and mineral formulasSelenium contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and nails as well as the regular function of the immune systemIt is also involved in the protection of cells from oxidative stress (by free radicals) and plays a role in male fertility as it contributes to normal spermatogenesisOne-a-day formulaDietary intakes of selenium in the UK during the 70's were nearly twice the level we consume today! Moreover, official figures from MAFF show that the selenium intake for 80% of adults in the UK is now below the recommended daily intake.This situation is due in part to the reduction in imports of selenium-rich, high protein wheat used for bread making from North America, coupled with the wide usage of selenium-antagonistic artificial fertilisers and acid rain exposure.As a vital component of the body's antioxidant defence system, a key player in thyroxine metabolism as well as an invaluable nutrient in reproductive health, falling dietary intakes are a real cause for concern.Selenium acts as an antioxidant, which are substances that help our bodies to destroy or quench harmful free radicals that are produced quite naturally in the human body and which, if allowed to proceed unchecked, can harm tissues and organs.Using a combination of two well-researched forms of selenium: L-selenomethionine and sodium selenite, Lamberts® Selenium 200µg is produced in premises that operate to stringent pharmaceutical standards of GMP and is suitable for both vegans and vegetarians.Allergen adviceSee presentation section for ingredients listed in bold.The following list of allergens are excluded: Wheat, Barley, Soya, Eggs, Milk (and milk products), Lactose, Nuts, Sulphites, Celery, Fish, Shellfish, Yeast and Gluten containing ingredients.CautionsNone known at recommended usage.Storage instructionsTo be stored in a cool dry place and protected from light.Legal CategoryFood supplement.An off white clear coated round tablet.Each tablet delivers:Selenium (L-selenomethionine and sodium selenite)200µgTableted With:Bulking Agents (DiCalcium Phosphate & Cellulose), Glazing Agents (Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose & Glycerol), Anti-caking Agents (Silicon Dioxide, Stearic Acid & Magnesium Stearate).Disintegration TimeLess than 1 hour.Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.Usage:1 tablet daily.
