MST Selenium 200mcg 90 Tablets

One pack of MST Selenium 200mcg contains 90 tablets. Each tablet has a dosage of 200 mcg of selenium.

Taking MST Selenium 200mcg 90 tablets offers health benefits for the immune system and thyroid function, as selenium is an essential trace element that the body cannot produce itself and therefore must obtain through food or supplements. MST Selenium 200mcg contains selenium in the organic and readily absorbable form L-selenomethionine.

Selenium is crucial for the immune system, as it contributes to the normal function of the immune defense. It supports the effectiveness of immune cells, is involved in the production of antibodies and the activation of immune cells such as T lymphocytes, and helps increase the body's resistance to pathogens. A selenium deficiency can impair the immune response and increase susceptibility to infections. Furthermore, selenium is involved in the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses and can inhibit excessive immune reactions and inflammatory processes.

Regarding thyroid function, selenium plays a central role, as the thyroid gland has the highest selenium concentration in the body. Selenium contributes to normal thyroid function and is crucial for the synthesis of thyroid hormones. It is necessary for the activation of deiodinases, enzymes that convert the inactive thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4) into the more biologically active triiodothyronine (T3). Furthermore, as an antioxidant, selenium protects thyroid tissue from oxidative stress and cell damage that can occur during hormone production. Adequate selenium intake, along with optimal iodine and iron intake, is essential for a healthy and functioning thyroid. In autoimmune thyroiditis such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis, improved selenium levels can help reduce inflammation and maintain thyroid function.

The product MST Selenium 200mcg is suitable for both vegan and vegetarian diets, as no animal-derived ingredients are used in its production. The tablets consist of the active ingredient sodium selenite and various excipients necessary for shaping and stability. These excipients include microcrystalline cellulose as a filler, calcium phosphate, and the anti-caking agents magnesium salts of fatty acids and silicon dioxide.

The recommended daily intake of MST Selenium 200mcg is one tablet, which should be taken with sufficient liquid. The manufacturer does not specify a particular time for optimal absorption; however, taking it with a meal is recommended for better tolerability.
