The selenium offered by Terranova is a step forward in modern supplementation. It combines a well-absorbed organic form of selenium with selected algae and plants.

Which form of selenium is worth supplementing with? Organic or inorganic?
Selenium can be found in organic or inorganic form. One of the organic forms is L-selenomethionine. Research results indicate that it is absorbed in the intestine to a greater extent than selenium in inorganic form1. L-selenomethionine can directly increase the amino acid pool, due to a similar absorption mechanism and similar structure to the amino acid methionine.

What is oxidative stress and what does it cause?
Our bodies are constantly producing free radicals (oxidants) and substances to neutralise them (antioxidants). Both forms are needed, but when this mechanism is disturbed, oxidative stress can occur.

How does selenium affect male fertility?
Selenium plays an important role in testosterone synthesis and sperm development. Low selenium levels are associated with reduced sperm motility. The mineral also has a protective function against oxidative stress damage.
