Scientific Statement of the Panel on Food Additive and Nutrient Sources Added to Food on the inability to assess the safety of vitamin C-enriched yeast for nutritional purposes as a source of vitamin C in food supplements and the bioavailability of vitamin C from this source, based on the ...
The safe upper limit for selenium is 400 micrograms a day in adults. Anything above that is considered an overdose. Foods Containing Selenium The amount of selenium in a food largely depends on the soil conditions where that food was grown. Good food sources of selenium include: 1. Brazil nu...
Although a toxic metal, selenium in trace amounts is a nutritional element. Trace amounts added to cattle food are effective against muscular dystrophy in sheep and cattle. Production Selenium is recovered from anode muds or slimes in electrolytic refining of copper. Anode mud is treated with sul...
selenium; food; supplementation; bioavailability; human health1. Introduction Selenium was discovered in 1817 in Gripsholm, a Swedish city, by a Swedish chemist Jacob Berzelius [1], who was working in a chemical factory producing, among others, sulfuric acid and nitric acid. One of the raw ...
In rats, the bioavailability of Se in various food sources varied drastically from <5% in mushroom to >95% in Brazil nut (Levander and Burk, 1990). The chemical form(s) of Se that underlie this drastic difference in bioavailability are not known. In mammalian feeding studies, free selenomet...
food. It is an effective way to supplement Se is by eating Se-rich food. Adding a suitable amount of Se can promote the growth of plants, improve the quality of crops, enhance the stress resistance of crops, and improve the yield and Se content of crops10. In addition, appropriate ...
a form of selenium with high bioavailability, offers promise. Its nano-sized particles enhance absorption, making it an effective alternative to traditional selenium sources for improved broiler health and performance. Therefore, in this study, we emphasize the positive impact of Nano-Se on growth ra...
