Selen + Vitamín E - GymBeam

Selenium + Vitamin E combines two essential micronutrients that share a common purpose in the body. Both help protect cells from oxidative stress.

One capsule contains 100 µg of selenium, or 182% of the nutrient reference value (NRV), and 60 mg of vitamin E, or five times the NRV. This corresponds to 60 international units (IU).

This essential mineral is provided in the highly absorbable organic form L-selenomethionine, the form in which it also occurs naturally in foods. Vitamin E is provided as DL-alpha-tocopheryl acetate. The capsule is made from plant-based HPMC and contains no gelatin.

We also test the product for heavy metals and microbiological purity.

Oxidative stress occurs when free radicals—unstable molecules that damage cellular structures—outnumber the body’s defenses. Their numbers increase with exposure to sunlight, smoke, polluted air, and everyday stress.

Both selenium and vitamin E protect cells against oxidative stress. That is why they are combined here.

Each works in a different part of the cell. Vitamin E is fat-soluble, so it acts in cell membranes. Selenium, by contrast, is a component of enzymes called glutathione peroxidases, which act in the aqueous environment inside the cell. As a result, the two substances complement each other and provide more comprehensive protection.
