Resilient Minerals
Selenium 2000
High Selenium Yeast 2000 is an organically-bound mineralized yeast produced from the cultivation of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast strain.
Selenium yeast provides superior cellular antioxidant support, immune support and benefits for maternal health, brain function, and thyroid health. Our resilient selenium yeast is the closest food-form of selenium for superior bioavailability, absorption and stability in formulations. Selenium Yeast 2000 contains 21 selenium compounds, including three natural forms of selenium (selenomethionine, selenocysteine and methyl-selenocysteine) which directly feed the metabolic system.
We also offer SelenoExcell High Selenium Yeast 1200 which has been used in more than 15 clinical studies. Click here to learn more about SelenoExcell.

HIGH SELENIUM YEAST 2000 FOR YOUR RESILIENT FORMULAS
Selenium 2000 is an organically-bound gluten-free high selenium yeast originating from a non-GMO Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast strain. During its growth, it creates compounds resembling food forms of selenium, similar to those found in Brazil nuts, eggs, peas, and meats.‡
Selenemium 2000's yeast fermentation process replicates the natural course in which plants absorb and transform minerals from the soil into a more bioavailable form, supporting the nutrition and health potential of selenium.
