Product Description

BIOGENA combines selenomethionine with selenium yeast — two organic selenium sources absorbed through different pathways. 200 µg per capsule equals 364% of the NRV.

What We Like

  • Two organic selenium forms for optimal absorption
  • 200 µg is a clinically well-researched dose
  • Clean capsules without magnesium stearate
  • Pharmaceutical grade from Austria

What We’re Missing

  • 200 µg is close to the tolerable upper limit (300 µg)
  • Significantly more expensive than basic selenium supplements
  • 60 capsules = only 2 months supply

Usage Recommendation

1 capsule daily with a meal. Do not take simultaneously with high-dose zinc supplements.

Ingredient dossier

Selenium is essential for glutathione peroxidases and thyroid hormones. In Germany and Austria, selenium supply is structurally low due to selenium-depleted soils.
