Description
  • Selenium in a highly absorbed, metabolically active form
  • With extra ingredients to maximise the potency of selenium
  • Protects from harmful effects of free radicals
  • Reduces the risk of carcinogenesis
  • Helps remove heavy metals from the body.
  • Strengthens the body’s antioxidant barrier
  • Reduces oxidative stress

  • Enhances male fertility
  • Enormous antioxidant potential

Jarrow Formulas Selenium Synergy is a unique blend of the best absorbed organic form of selenium and nutrients which help maximise its potential.

Each capsule provides as much as 200 mcg of methylselenocysteine and vitamin E and B2 with synergistic effects. For even better efficacy, the supplement’s composition has been fortified with a concentrated broccoli seed extract which is a source of the unique sulforaphane glucosinolate – a compound with strong anti-cancer properties.

Selenium (Se) is one of the essential trace elements. The human body does not need much selenium. However, even a small deficiency may impair significantly many biochemical pathways and consequently disturb the functioning of the whole body. Selenium is found in several forms. Because of that, while choosing a supplement, we should pay attention that it contains a form with the highest absorption.

Best absorbed form of selenium
Selenium is present naturally in a non-organic form (as elemental selenium) and organic one. The most known organic forms of selenium are seleno amino acids, namely selenomethionine and selenocysteine.

Selenocysteine is considered the most metabolically active form and thus the most available to the human body. It is a component of enzymatic proteins such as glutathione peroxidase, iodothyronine deiodinases or selenophosphate synthetases. What is more, these forms are characterised by lower toxicity and have greater antiancer potential.

Extra ingredients for better efficacy of the supplement
Apart from the perfectly absorbed form of selenium, the presented supplement contains vitamin E and B2 and the patented broccoli seed extract. They act synergistically with selenium, enhance its effects on many areas and boost the effectiveness of supplementation.

Vitamin E is an extremely strong antioxidant. However, it loses its antioxidant properties after reactions with free radicals. Its potential may be exploited by proper enzymes, such as glutathione peroxidase and thioredoxin reductase. These enzymes contain selenium which is responsible for their activity. By combining vitamin E with selenium, we can improve the body’s antioxidant protection.

Studies have shown that riboflavin supplementation increases our efficiency and improves selenium metabolism. It has been observed that vitamin B2 contributes to increasing selenium levels in the heart and liver and decreasing its excretion in urine. What is more, vitamin B2 promotes the activity of glutathione peroxidase which is aimed at protecting cells against damage caused by excess free radicals..

BroccoMax is a patented broccoli seed extract. In addition to being an excellent source of natural selenium, broccoli contains the unique compound called sulforaphane. It has clinically proven anti-cancer properties, supports liver function and helps detoxify the body.

Antioxidant protection
Selenium is of key importance to the body’s protection against oxidative stress and harmful effects of free radicals. It is present in several enzymes (among others, glutathione peroxidase and thioredoxin reductase) which neutralise toxic peroxides formed in bodily biochemical processes. The reduction in oxidative stress and removal of excess free radicals are vital to inhibit the body’s ageing process and minimise the risk of chronic diseases.

Cancer prophylaxis
Selenium is more and more frequently mentioned in the context of cancer prophylaxis. In order to protect effectively against carcinogenesis, it is especially important to strengthen the antioxidant barrier and reduce oxidative stress. This can be achieved by selenoproteins.

Studies show that organic forms of selenium may also induce the apoptosis of mutated cancer cells. Furthermore, selenocysteine inhibits angiogenesis, namely the formation of new blood vessels around the tumour. Consequently, the tumour has no access to nutrients and cannot grow.

An anticancerogenic effect of the presented supplement is enhanced by the content of sulforaphane. It limits the formation and growth of neoplastic lesions, reduces the risk of cell mutations and inhibts factors which stimulate carcinogenesis.

Thyroid support
Selenium defciciency is dangerous especially to the thyroid and may impair significantly its function. This mineral is involved in the production of thyroid hormones and is responsible for the conversion of the inactive T4 into the active T4. Selenium is a component of enzymes whose task is to remove an iodine molecule from thyroxine during its conversion into triiodothyronine.

Selenium may also inhibit the release of thyroid antibodies. Correcting selenium deficiency is sufficient for many patients with Hashimoto’s disease to lower levels of anti-TPO antibodies and improve the structure of the thyroid

Body detox
Selenium promotes the body’s detoxification. It shows a strong affinity for ions of such heavy metals as mercury or cadmium. By binding to harmful metals, it neutralises them and forms complexes which are easily excreted from the body.

The supplement’s efficacy in this case is increased by sulforaphane. This compound is a perfect regulator of the activity of enzymes of the first and second phase of detoxification. Owing to that, it improves the metabolism of xenobiotics and speeds up their excretion from the body.

Enhanced fertility
Selenium is required for a healthy reproductive ability. It is critical to the formation and development of sperm cells, helps improve their motility and increases a healthy sperm count. There is also a strong relationship between selenium levels and testosterone concentrations in a healthy male body.

More and more studies suggest that selenium deficiency in women increases the risk of miscarriage. Over a dozen meta-analyses showed that women who experienced pregnancy loss in the first trimester suffered from selenium deficiency.

To sum up, Jarrow Formulas Selenium Synergy is a perfect way to enrich your diet with selenium. The content of vitamin E and B2 and broccoli seed extract brings extra health benefits and unlocks the potential of selenium. Supplementation is recommended especially to individuals with thyroid dysfunction and at increased risk of cancer.
