The important trace element selenium
As a component of important enzymes, selenium is involved in numerous metabolic processes. For example, it is found in the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase, which helps fight oxidative stress.
Selenium also plays a key role in the production of thyroid hormones. The so-called deiodinases, which convert inactive T4 into active T3, depend on an adequate selenium intake.
According to officially approved health claims, selenium contributes:
- to the maintenance of normal hair
- to the maintenance of normal nails
- to the normal function of the thyroid
- to the protection of cells from oxidative stress
- to the normal function of the immune system
- to normal sperm production
Edubily's selenium capsules contain three different forms of selenium: selenium yeast, sodium selenite and L-selenomethionine, with 45 μg selenium per capsule.
Why selenium deficiency is becoming more common
Natural sources of selenium include fish, meat, eggs, nuts and grains. However, soils in Europe are relatively low in selenium, which explains the often insufficient selenium supply in many European countries (1).
The concentration of selenium in the soil varies depending on the region and is influenced, among other things, by rainfall levels, the soil pH value and agricultural practices. Intensive farming and the use of fertilisers without selenium further reduce the selenium content in the soil. Especially in parts of Europe and China, soils are particularly low in this trace element, which directly affects selenium intake through food.

Three different forms of selenium for maximum effectiveness
To ensure optimal supply, edubily uses a combination of three different forms of selenium:
Selenium yeast
This organic selenium source is produced by cultivating yeasts in a selenium-containing nutrient medium. The main component is selenomethionine, complemented by other organic selenium compounds such as methylselenocysteine.
Sodium selenite
As an inorganic selenium compound, sodium selenite is quickly absorbed by the body, but also rapidly excreted again. It is particularly well suited for short-term selenium supply, but has only a limited effect on blood levels.
L-selenomethionine
This organic form of selenium occurs naturally in plant and animal foods. Because it is incorporated into the body’s own proteins in place of methionine, it has a long-term storage effect. In addition, L-selenomethionine is particularly well suited to raising plasma selenium levels (2).

Proven quality from edubily
edubily PURE Selenium Capsules are a high-quality and reliable way to supplement the body with this essential trace element. Thanks to the excellent bioavailability of selenomethionine, effective absorption is ensured.
Like all products in the PURE series, edubily’s selenium contains no unnecessary additives. It contains only rice flour as a filler, as this is necessary for production reasons.
Frequently asked questions & answers from Edubily
What does the body need selenium for?
Selenium is essential for the immune system, protects cells from oxidative stress, and supports healthy hair, nails, and thyroid function.
Is it possible to get enough selenium through food?
In Germany, selenium is one of the nutrients that is often deficient. The reason for this is the low selenium content of the soil, which means that foods grown on it often contain only small amounts of selenium. To ensure an adequate supply of this essential trace element, it is important to deliberately include selenium-rich foods such as Brazil nuts from the Brazilian rainforest in your diet and eat them regularly.
Could I have a selenium deficiency?
Signs of a deficiency can include brittle nails, hair loss, or increased susceptibility to infections. Insufficient selenium intake affects many people in Europe.
How long does it take for selenium to work in the body?
This depends on your individual health status and diet. As a rule, the positive effects of selenium, such as strengthening the immune system and protecting against oxidative stress, become noticeable after a few weeks of continuous intake.
Should you take selenium daily?
Daily selenium intake is recommended to ensure a stable level of this essential trace element in the body. Since the body cannot produce selenium itself, a continuous supply through food or supplements is required. Regular intake helps prevent deficiency and makes the best use of the many positive effects of selenium.
Why do the capsules contain 3 forms of selenium?
The combination of selenium yeast, selenomethionine, and sodium selenite ensures optimal bioavailability and supports the body in many ways.
How much selenium does one capsule contain?
One capsule contains 45 µg of selenium.
What should you not take together with selenium?
When taking selenium, you should note that high doses of vitamin C can impair the absorption of sodium selenite in the body. In contrast, the absorption of selenomethionine remains unaffected because the selenium is firmly bound to the amino acid methionine. To ensure the best possible effect of both nutrients, it is recommended to take them at different times.
Are there any side effects?
In suitable amounts, selenium is well tolerated and safe for most people. However, excessive intake can cause side effects such as nausea, diarrhoea, hair loss, brittle nails, and, in extreme cases, even neurological impairments. It is therefore important to follow the recommended daily dose and consult a doctor or nutritionist if you are unsure.
Does the product contain additives?
No, it is free from additional substances and consists only of selenium and rice flour as a filler.
Is the product vegan?
Yes, both the selenium it contains and the HPMC capsule shell are vegan.
