Life Extension Se-Methyl L-Selenocysteine 200mcg for Antioxidant Support 90 Vcaps

Life Extension Se-Methyl L-Selenocysteine is a premium dietary supplement formulated to deliver a potent and highly bioavailable form of the essential trace mineral, selenium. This product provides 200 mcg of selenium in each easy-to-swallow vegan capsule, with a total of 90 vcaps per bottle. Selenium is a critical nutrient that functions as an essential cofactor for the powerful antioxidant enzyme, glutathione peroxidase. Its primary role is to support the body's natural defense mechanisms against cellular damage from free radicals, thereby promoting overall health and longevity. This specific form, Se-Methyl L-Selenocysteine (SeMC), is chosen for its superior absorption and targeted action within the body's enzymatic pathways.

The core of this formula is Selenium, provided as Se-Methyl L-Selenocysteine (SeMC) in a precise 200 mcg dose. SeMC is a naturally occurring seleno-amino acid that is synthesized by plants such as garlic and broccoli, making it a nature-identical compound. As an organoselenium compound, it boasts higher bioavailability compared to inorganic forms of selenium. A key advantage of SeMC over other forms like selenomethionine is its metabolic pathway. While selenomethionine can be indiscriminately incorporated into various proteins in place of methionine, SeMC is selectively and efficiently converted into selenoproteins. These selenoproteins, particularly glutathione peroxidase, are vital antioxidant enzymes that play a central role in neutralizing harmful free radicals and protecting cellular integrity from oxidative stress.

For optimal use, the recommended dosage is to take one (1) capsule daily. It can be taken with or without food, but consuming it with a meal may improve tolerance for some individuals. For enhanced absorption of selenium, it can be beneficial to take this supplement in conjunction with other antioxidant supplements, such as vitamin C or E. It is noted that high doses of vitamin C (over one gram) may particularly enhance the absorption of selenium. Always follow the guidance of a qualified healthcare practitioner for personalized dosage recommendations based on your specific health needs.
