Antioxidant Enzyme
In 1973, Dr. J.T. Rotruck of the University of Wisconsin and his colleagues discovered that selenium is a component of glutathione peroxidase, an antioxidant enzyme produced in the human body. This resulted in selenium's essential-nutrient status. Selenium is not an antioxidant in the classical sense, but is an essential component of endogenous antioxidant enzymes, such as glutathione peroxidases. Glutathione peroxidases are the most studied selenium-containing antioxidant enzymes. These antioxidants protect the water-containing structures in the body, particularly the cell interiors, but also outside the cells and within the bloodstream. Glutathione peroxidases protect cells against damage by halting free-radical chain reactions involving lipid peroxides (rancid fats) and hydroperoxides (oxidized chemicals). They do this by using glutathione as a hydrogen donor, which neutralizes the free radical by restoring electron balance. Selenium also indirectly protects cell membranes and lipoproteins (the lipid-containing parts of the body). Although selenium-containing enzymes are not stored in the bi-layered cell membranes, they do act on both the interior side of the cell membranes and the extracellular surfaces of the cell membranes and lipoproteins, thus protecting these areas from inside and outside of the cell.

SelenoExcell Independently Certified GRAS
SelenoExcell High Selenium Yeast bulk raw material has been independently self-certified as GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) for use in several food categories. The determination was based on scientific protocols including the safety assessment criteria established by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
