NuVet Plus® Ingredients

Selenium (Yeast)

Selenium is an essential trace mineral found in the soil in an inorganic form.   Plants and microorganisms convert inorganic selenium to organic forms.   Organic forms of selenium then become available as nutrients for animals.

Selenium is only one of several protective antioxidants in the NuVet Plus® formula.   It is another nutritional aid against the damage caused by free radicals and the pollution we all encounter in the modern world.

Selenium works synergistically with vitamin-E.   Each helps the other to be absorbed by the body more efficiently than if each nutrient was present alone.

Selenium is also considered to be a powerful cancer fighter.   Selenium supplements may help protect against cancers of the lung, colon, rectum, and prostate (The Journal of the American Medical Association {JAMA}. 12/24/96).

Larry C. Clark, M.P.H., PhD (Arizona Cancer Center, College of Medicine, University of Arizona), studied the effectiveness of selenium supplementation for preventing cancers and for reducing cancer mortality. These results indicate that when all cancers were studied, the group getting selenium supplementation had a 37 percent reduction in cancer incidence and a 50 percent reduction in cancer mortality.

Selenium yeast is the bio-available source of selenium used in NuVet Plus®.  In recent studies selenium yeast was proven effective in producing consistent elevations of blood selenium concentrations in a large-scale human intervention trial, supported by the National Cancer Institute.
