SELENOEXCELL HIGH SELENIUM YEAST 1200
GOLD-STANDARD SCIENCE & SUPERIOR DELIVERY FORM
SelenoExcell® High Selenium Yeast 1200 is the standardized organically bound selenium used in over 15 clinical studies. It is the closest food-form of selenium for superior bioavailability, absorption and stability in formulations. SelenoExcell uniquely contains 21 forms of selenium which directly feed the metabolic system.
Selenium is essential for maternal health and many other functions within the body. Resilient Selenium from Cypress offers full absorption.
Selenium serves as a foundation of life, necessary from the very beginning and essential in the creation of new life. It acts as a fundamental building block.
SelenoExcell is the first selenium yeast product to achieve Generally Recognized as Safe or GRAS status in food. This GRAS designation means SelenoExcell can be used across different functional food and beverage categories, including fruit juices, medical foods, grain products and pasta, baked goods, and milk products. There are also Qualified Health Claims for selenium yeast.

SelenoExcell® is the agent of Resilience
SelenoExcell® High Selenium Yeast 1200 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.‡
SelenoExcell®'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.
Core Benefit Areas
Maternal Health
Reproductive Health
Prostate Health
Immune Health
Cognitive Health
Thyroid Health
selenium yeast is absorbed
Up to 90%
SelenoExcell®’s extensive testing and research against other non-food forms of selenium suggests significant positive effects in regard to immune support, maternal health, brain function, and thyroid health. ‡
Potential health claims for SelenoExcell® high selenium yeast include:
May act as an antioxidant and free radical scavenger, protecting cells from oxidative stress 10, ‡
May support production of sperm and enhance sperm quality 12, ‡
May provide immune function support 13, ‡
Lower toxicity and higher in digestibility, absorption, and retention than other forms of selenium 3, 4, ‡
The SelenoExcell Difference
- Standardized, clinically-researched optimized form of organically-bound selenium (no free or inorganic selenium).
- Cultivated from the Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast strain to contain 21 selenium compounds, including three natural forms of selenium (selenomethionine, selenocysteine and methyl-selenocysteine) which directly feed the metabolic system.
- Closest food-form of selenium for superior bioavailability, absorption and stability in formulations.
- Nutrient rich containing contains B-vitamins, phosphorous, potassium, magnesium, sulfur and beneficial amino acids.
- Lower toxicity and exhibits higher digestibility, absorption, and retention than other forms of selenium.
- SelenoExcell is the first selenium yeast product to achieve Generally Recognized as Safe or GRAS for use in food and beverages.
