Thorne’s Selenomethionine provides a potent dose of selenium, an essential trace mineral, in its most bioavailable and well-researched form. Selenium is a crucial component of the body’s primary antioxidant enzyme, glutathione peroxidase, and is vital for a healthy immune response, thyroid function, and reproductive health. This formula delivers pure L-selenomethionine, the form of selenium naturally found in food, to ensure optimal absorption and benefit for foundational wellness.*
How It Works: The Power of a Master Antioxidant
Selenium exerts its benefits primarily by acting as a powerful antioxidant and a necessary cofactor for key enzymes.*
Support for Thyroid and Immune Function
The thyroid gland contains the highest concentration of selenium in the body. This is because selenium is required for the enzyme that converts the T4 thyroid hormone into its active T3 form. Therefore, an adequate level of selenium is essential for maintaining a healthy metabolism and energy levels. In the immune system, selenium supports the function of white blood cells and helps to maintain a balanced inflammatory response.*
Enhancing Antioxidant Defenses
Selenium is a critical component of glutathione peroxidase, which is one of the body’s most important antioxidant enzymes. This enzyme helps to neutralize damaging free radicals, particularly in the liver, protecting cells from oxidative stress. By providing a highly absorbable form of selenium, this supplement bolsters the body’s entire antioxidant network and supports healthy aging.*
