Selenium 150 µg VitaRex, 200 chewable tablets
Essential trace element for cell protection, immune system and metabolism
VitaRex® Selenium 150 µg provides selenium in the form of sodium selenite , a highly proven and very well-researched inorganic source of selenium. Selenium is an essential trace element that the human body cannot produce itself and therefore must be regularly supplied through diet or targeted supplementation.
In the body, selenium is a key component of numerous selenoproteins and, in particular, of the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase , which protects cells from oxidative stress caused by aggressive oxygen compounds. Selenium thus makes an important contribution to cellular protection and metabolic processes .
Furthermore, selenium is involved in the normal function of the immune system and plays a role in selenium-dependent regulatory and detoxification processes. Adequate selenium intake is particularly important in cases of increased need, unbalanced diets, or selenium-deficient soils – as are common in large parts of Central Europe.
The chewable tablets, which are pleasant to suck on, allow for easy and well-tolerated daily intake.
Selenium supports the physiological balance between oxidation and regeneration.
In human metabolism, so-called reactive oxygen species are produced daily as a natural component of energy production, immune responses, and metabolic processes. These oxidative processes are physiologically necessary – however, an imbalance can put a strain on cellular structure.
Selenium plays a central role in regulating this balance , as it is a component of important antioxidant enzyme systems. In particular, selenium-dependent enzymes help to neutralize excess oxidative stress and thus support the cell's own regenerative capacity .
Adequate selenium intake helps the body maintain a natural balance between oxidation and regeneration . This helps maintain normal cell functions and supports the body's physiological adaptability – especially during periods of increased stress due to environmental factors, stress, or physical exertion.

Scientific background
Modern selenium research was significantly shaped by the biochemist Prof. Dr. Gerhard N. Schrauzer (†), who dedicated decades to studying the physiological significance of selenium. His work contributed substantially to our current understanding of selenium as an essential trace element.
