Descriptionsof Selenium and Selenium-enriched Yeast:
1. Functions ofSelenium:
Selenium is of fundamental importance to human health:
(1) As a constituent of selenoproteins,selenium has structural and enzymes roles; in the latter context beingbest-known as an antioxidant and catalyst for the production of active thyroidhormone.
(2) Selenium is necessary for the proper functioning of the immunesystem, and appears to be a key nutrient in counteracting the development of virulenceand inhibiting HIV progression to AIDS.
2. AboutSelenium-enriched Yeast:
Selenium-enriched yeast is a high potency, 100% organically bound SeleniumYeast product.
As a natural nutritional food source, yeast replicates the mineral conversionprocess performed by most plants (i.e. garlic, broccoli). This natural plantprocess converts inorganic (low bioavailability, potentially toxic) minerals tosafer organic (high bioavailability) forms for improved nutrient utilization.
Characteristics ofSelenium-enriched Yeast:
1. High selenium content: up to 2000mg/kg;
2. High activity: the organic selenium in the yeast is more active and moreeffective;
3. High absorbability: the organic selenium is easier to be absorbed by humanbody;
4. Low toxicity: the toxicity of the organic selenium is lower than inorganicselenium;
5. Selenium-enriched yeast, if matched-use with other nutritional yeasts likeChromium-enriched yeast, Zinc-enriched yeast and Yeast Beta Glucan,will have a better healthy improving function.
Applications ofSelenium-enriched Yeast:
1. This kind of nutritional yeast can be used as the raw material of allkinds of foods, functional foods and medicines;
2. Used as the raw material of nutrient-fortified foods, such as dairyproducts, biscuits, beverage, flour etc;
Specifications ofSelenium-enriched Yeast:
1. Ingredient: Selenium-enriched yeast;
