play_arrowSelenium and Zinc supplements from Pharma Nord are based on the latest antioxidant research. Selenium works synergistically with vitamins B6, C, and E, as well as with the mineral zinc, in contributing to the protection of body cells from oxidative stress.
The selenium content in European soil may vary from country to country. A well-balanced diet with selenium is needed for supporting the selenium-dependent proteins involved in normal immune function, a well-functioning thyroid gland, and other important selenium-dependent functions.
Bio-Selenium and Zinc contains SelenoPrecise, the patented, organic selenium yeast with excellent high bio-availability (88.7% absorption) and safety records.

Selenium is an essential trace element (mineral) of fundamental importance to human health
Selenium is a micronutrient vital for many processes in the body. This includes maintaining a healthy immune system and plays an important role in normal thyroid hormone metabolism. Selenium also helps maintain male fertility, by promoting sperm motility.
Most soils in the UK and Europe are deficient in selenium, which translates in low-selenium of farmed food and eventually, low selenium status of populations who consume local food.
Selenium is an essential component of the key antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase which works with other antioxidants (see below) to protect the cells of the body.
Our zinc and selenium supplements also contain vitamins C and E. These are important, synergystic micronutrients that contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. This 'antioxidant' property results in increased protection of cell damage from free radicals, which are particles that smoking and pollution may generate.
Furthermore, zinc and selenium contains vitamin B6 which contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism. Homocysteine is a naturally occurring amino acid in the body that has associations with cell injury if it's metabolism is insufficient.
Selenium helps to protect the body from the toxic effects of heavy metals such as mercury from amalgam fillings. Amalgam fillings release mercury vapour which is absorbed into the bloodstream with potentially harmful effects. Selenium binds to heavy metals rendering them harmless.
We recommend 1-2 tablets per day, or as directed by a physician.

Relative to the food we eat, the size of individual nutrients are actually incredibly small. As a result, we need to use units other than grammes (g) to describe them. Here's what the common units for nutrients are:
Grammes (G)- often used to describe nutritional powders. Most teaspoons of powder weigh approximately 5g.
Milligrams (Mg)- 1000mg is equal to 1g
Micrograms (Mcg or μg)- 1000μg is equal to 1mg
International Units (IU)- Slightly more complex than milligrams (mg) and micrograms (μg), International Units measure differently from nutrient to nutrient. The most common nutrients that are likely to be measured in UI are vitamins D, E and A.
- Vitamin D: 1 IU is the equivalent of 0.025 μg of D2 or D3
- Vitamin A: 1 IU is the equivalent of 0.3 mcg retinol
- Beta-carotene (provitamin A): 1 IU is the equivalent of 0.6 μg of beta carotene
- Vitamin E: 1 IU is the equivalent of 0.67 mg d-alpha-tocopherol

Dennis - 22nd November 2018:
I have taken the Bio Selenium plus Zinc tablets for about 30 years now and swear by them.
Thomas Howell - 3rd October 2018:
We have been taking Bio Selenium with Zinc for more than a decade.. We don't get many colds and what we do get don't come to much.
Abid - 6th September 2018:
I have been taking the Selenium and Zinc supplement for over 8 months now and not had a single cold in that time, previous to that I was getting them all the time. Delivery was prompt and with each tablet in a blister pack they stay fresh. There was also a long shelf live of nearly 4 years, so I have now reordered again and have recommended it to other people too.
Sandra Higgins - 23rd April 2015:
I lost 14 stone and had loose skin, in particular around the stomach. I needed a full abdmoniplasty for my health, as agreed by my plastic nhs surgeon. As a really good surgeon he knows what matters and checked ALL of my bloods. I was low on selenium and zinc, which is important for healing. I have taken your supplements since, and as a result had my surgery, have healed well and have not had a cold or any other viral infection since.
