AOR SeMet Selenium Details Supports normal cell growth and development Helps produce an important antioxidant Supports proper immune function SeMet is selenium, found in such plants as broccoli and garlic when grown in exceedingly rich soil. Selenium is an antioxidant for the maintenance of good health. SeMet contains selenomethionine, a natural form of the mineral selenium that is the prominent form which the body absorbs from food sources. It is the main form of selenium that is stored in the body, is more effectively used than other forms and is absorbed 1.5-2 times better than selenite, a form commonly found in supplements. Selenium levels of plant-based foods are unpredictable as they will vary with soil selenium content, making supplementing with the absorbable and efficient form of selenium more advantageous to obtain its health benefits. Selenium is necessary for immune function, supporting the formation of the enzyme glutathione peroxidase, a powerful antioxidant, and boosting immune cell activity. Supplementing with selenium is important for those who want to promote a healthy immune system and normal cell growth especially as selenium soil content greatly varies across North America.
