SELENIUM CRUCIFERATE Organic Johns Hopkins Hydroponically Cultivated Superior Bioavailability Glutathione Peroxidase Support Neutralizing Hydroperoxyl OH Radicals from the BODY ..

Selenium Cruciferate is a scientifically designed, plant-based source of the essential trace mineral selenium. Indian mustard greens assimilate and metabolize selenium into bioavailable Se compounds, most notably Se-methylselenocysteine (Se-MSC), and other bioavailable selenoamino acids and phytochelatins. Hydroponically grown Indian mustard is also a rich source of isothiocyanates, sulfurophanes and naturally occurring antioxidants.

The Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) is the most superior of the hyperaccumulator species; the selenium is incorporated into the plant itself, not added as an extra ingredient to the Se supplement.
The use of hydroponic methods of cultivation insures the absence of toxic metal contaminants in the finished product.
Selenium from hydroponically grown Indian mustard provides the added benefit of cancer- fighting sulfurophanes and isothiocyanates naturally occurring in the plants.
Se-MSC is a more potent chemopreventive agent than selenomethionine or selenized yeast, and safer because it does not accumulate in the body.
