Selenium Enriched Yeast Powder

Description

Selenium-enriched yeast is a natural dietary source of selenium, produced by fermenting yeast (typically Saccharomyces cerevisiae) in a selenium-rich medium, allowing the yeast to absorb and incorporate selenium into its cellular structure. The selenium is primarily bound to amino acids, forming selenomethionine and selenocysteine, which are organic forms of selenium with high bioavailability. It appears as a light yellow to tan powder with a characteristic yeast-like odor, stable under normal storage conditions and soluble in water-based formulations.
