Guest guest Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Dr. Olree explains:" In Minerals for the Genetic Code" about the different in Seleniums.I encourage everyone to read some short links regarding Selenium. The average dietary intake for adults in the U.S. has been found to range from 80 to 110 mcg/day. Because of food distribution patterns in the U.S., people living in areas with low soil selenium avoid deficiency because they eat foods produced in areas with higher soil selenium. Supplements - Selenium supplements are available in several forms. The best form is selenomethionine, an organic form of selenium that occurs naturally in foods, which is about 90% absorbed. Selenomethionine and selenium-enriched yeast, which mainly supply selenomethionine, are also available as supplements. Sodium selenite and sodium selenate are inorganic forms of selenium. The consumer should be aware that some forms of selenium yeast on the market contain yeast plus mainly inorganic forms of selenium. Both inorganic and organic forms of selenium can be metabolized to selenocysteine by the body and incorporated into selenoenzymes, although too much inorganic selenium will cause type 2 diabetes. http://www.emineral.info/drolreegumc.pdf http://www.emineral.info/MineralDocs/Selenium.pdf Graciela From: Bonnie Cole <bonnieview@...> iodine Sent: Tuesday, January 10, 2012 3:26:32 PM Subject: RE: Re: Selenium warning Steph+Linn Thanks Linn, well until I saw this label (NOW Foods) warning, I wasn’t aware of it either.
