Selenium Ingredient Manufacturer

Selenium is an unpopular and underrated nutrient. Even though it has a boatload of health benefits, most people never even hear its name.

Selenium is an essential mineral, meaning that you must obtain it from your diet. It can perform its functions even in small amounts — which makes it a great supplement ingredient.

Benefits

1. Acts As An Antioxidant

If you didn’t know already, antioxidants are compounds that assist our bodies in fighting off harmful molecules called free radicals.

Although moderate levels of free radicals are beneficial for your health, in excess, they can lead to oxidative stress — which can lead to some of the worst health issues.

Oxidative stress is directly linked to both acute and fatal health problems, including strokes, premature aging, cancer, heart disease, and even Alzheimer’s.

Since selenium is an antioxidant, it neutralizes free radical numbers and protects vital cells from damage caused by oxidative stress.

In simpler words, it reduces oxidative stress by keeping free radical numbers in check.  (1)

2. May Reduce Your Risk of Certain Cancers

According to this study, selenium can reduce your risk of certain cancers thanks to its following 3 attributes:

  • It reduces oxidative stress and DNA damage
  • It boosts your immunity
  • It destroys cancer cells

Furthermore, a review of 69 studies including a total of 350,000 participants concludes that having high levels of selenium is directly linked to a lower risk of certain cancer types, including lung, colon, breast, and prostate cancer.

One important thing to note here is that this effect was associated with only selenium consumed through foods, not supplements.

With that being said, recent research suggests that taking selenium supplements regularly can help reduce side effects of radiation therapy.

For instance, this study shows that taking oral selenium supplements reduces radiation-induced diarrhea in women with uterine and cervical cancer.

3. May Protect Against Certain Heart Diseases

A selenium-rich diet may help improve your heart condition, as low levels of selenium are directly linked to certain types of heart diseases.

According to this analysis of 25 studies, a 50% increase in blood selenium levels was linked to a 24% reduction in the risk of heart disease.

Scientists believe that selenium lowers your risk of heart disease because it reduces certain inflammation markers — one of the number one factors of heart disease.

According to this analysis of 16 studies on a total of 433,000 heart disease patients, selenium supplements can reduce the inflammatory marker C-reactive protein (CRP).

 

Health Issues Associated With Selenium Deficiency

Selenium deficiency can lead to several health problems, including:

  • Parkinson’s disease
  • Alzheimer’s disease
  • High oxidative stress
  • Certain heart diseases
  • Certain types of cancer

If you want to stay clear of these health issues, then add a selenium supplement to your diet.

 

Daily Recommended Intake

The daily recommended intake of selenium is:

  • 55 micrograms for adults.
  • 60 micrograms for pregnant women.
  • 70 micrograms for lactating women.

We just completed a very large Homeopathic tablet order that required involvement from 4 different facilities. There was nobody else in the country that was willing to help us that we called until we found superior. First shipment came last week and we couldn’t be happier or more impressed with the team. Thank you Justine, Phil, Stephenie you are the best!

★★★★★
I was choosing between two companies to create a formulation, and it came down to their level of service, expertise and confidence in their ability to execute. After speaking to Phil, their lead guy who knows all things supplements and is very easy to communicate with, was enthusiastic and helped to create a strategy to see my vision through. The last thing you want is a transactional relationship in this industry, so whether you’re a first timer or a veteran, these guys know how to add value no matter what level you’re at. Highly recommend Superior and their team to get the job done.
★★★★★
When they say “Superior” they aren’t kidding. Of over 100 companies on our NSF list that we called, and over 20 that we talked to, Superior was the ONLY one that consistently answered their phones, worked incredibly diligently to problem solve and R&D an incredibly complex patented proprietary product, and consistently was two or three steps ahead of us, the landscape and their competitors. Looking forward to a long relationship Superior!
★★★★★
We’ve been using Superior for over 5 years. We came to them because our last manufacturer stopped making the capsule size I needed. I looked everywhere for a replacement. Luckily, I found Superior. They quoted me a fair price and sourced a hard to find ingredient quickly. In the 5 years we’ve had them make our product, which is a custom formulation, they have never delivered late once. Quality control is very high and I get constant updates from Phil our point person while it is being manufactured. I cannot recommend them enough.
★★★★★
Our previous manufacturer was 3 months late on a production and barely spoke with us. We have run many runs with Superior and as with all manufacturing, there was an order that was a little late because of poor crop growth. Not only did they warn us ahead of time they showed us the list of suppliers they were calling day and night to try to find replacement material. Best company ever!
★★★★★
Jake, Justine and Phil are just a few of the team members we have had the pleasure of working with at Superior. As a marketing agency working in the supplement industry, we work with many suppliers on behalf of our clients. I especially appreciate Superior Supplements Manufacturing because of their dedication to customer relationships. They go to extreme measures to ensure quality ingredients, fair pricing and great turn around times. The staff is also extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this team.
