Selenium & Calcium Combined – 110 µg Selenium per Serving from Two Sources
Optiolex Selenium delivers 110 µg of selenium per daily serving from two complementary sources – sodium selenite and L-selenomethionine – alongside 200 mg of calcium, all in a single vegan capsule manufactured to GMP standards.
Selenium is an essential trace element that the body cannot produce itself and must obtain through the diet. Optiolex Selenium combines two biochemically distinct selenium compounds: sodium selenite is readily available to the body, while L-selenomethionine, as an organically bound form, has a longer residence time in body tissue. This combination provides a broad selenium supply profile in a single daily serving.
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body and is present in this product as well-tolerated calcium carbonate. The capsule shell is made from plant-based hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), making the product fully vegan.

Why combine two selenium sources in one capsule?
Sodium selenite (inorganic) and L-selenomethionine (organic) differ in their biochemical availability and distribution within the body. By combining both forms, Optiolex Selenium covers a broader supply profile – with just one capsule per day.
Who is Optiolex Selenium suitable for?
This supplement is suitable for adults who wish to support their daily selenium and calcium intake with a vegan food supplement – for example those following a predominantly plant-based diet or with an increased nutrient requirement.
Frequently Asked Questions

How much selenium does one capsule of Optiolex Selenium contain?
Each capsule contains 110 µg of selenium – 80 µg from sodium selenite and 30 µg from L-selenomethionine. This corresponds to 200% of the daily Nutrient Reference Value (NRV).

-
What does selenium do according to EFSA?
According to authorised EFSA health claims, selenium contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress, supports normal thyroid function, and contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
