L-glutathione is in its biologically active, reduced form Reduced is a state in which an atom or molecule can accept electrons. By absorbing electrons, reduced glutathione is able, for example, to defuse free radicals. What is L-glutathione? L-glutathione is a sulfur-containing tripeptide composed of the amino acids glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine. It is considered to be one of the most important and strongest antioxidants and is found in almost all human body cells.It not only protects against free radicals, but also has the ability to regenerate other antioxidants consumed by oxidation. These include, for example, vitamins A, C and E, flavonoids, co-enzyme Q10 and selenium. From the age of 40, the L-glutathione level in the body's cells decreases naturally.

S-Acetyl L-Glutathione: Stable form of glutathione with high bioavailability.S-Acetyl-L-Glutathione is more stable than normal L-Glutathione. While normal L-glutathione is absorbed into the body with difficulty, S-acetyl-L-glutathione is quickly and completely absorbed into the cells.Forms of glutathioneThere are three forms of glutathione: the reduced form, the oxidized form and S-acetyl-L-glutathione. Most dietary supplements containing L-glutathione contain the reduced form. Scientists have described that the S-acetyl form of glutathione has high bioavailability. It is more stable than the reduced form and is not oxidized in the gastrointestinal tract.What is S-acetyl-L-glutathione?Glutathione is an important sulfur compound for the human organism. It is produced in our body from the amino acids cysteine, glutamine and glycine. S-acetylglutathione is acetylated glutathione. The coupling of an acetyl group to a glutathione molecule favors efficient uptake into cells. In the formation of complex amino acid molecules, the acetyl group serves to protect against oxidation. Once inside the cell, enzymes can rapidly break down and process the S-acetyl-L-glutathione compound so that it can be rapidly absorbed by the body.S-Acetyl L-Glutathione Capsules from Fairvital:100 mg S-acetyl-L-glutathione per capsulestable form of glutathionehigh bioavailabilityhandy package for 90 daysvegetarian and vegangluten-free, lactose-free, fructose-freewithout magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide

Highly dosed trace element for the immune system, hair and nails Selenium is a trace element that is naturally present in many foods, is even added to some foods and is available as a dietary supplement. Selenium is essential for humans. It is a component of more than 20 selenoproteins, which play a crucial role in reproduction, thyroid hormone metabolism, DNA synthesis and protection against oxidative damage. Forms of selenium Selenium exists in two forms: inorganic (selenate and selenite) and organic (selenomethionine and selenocysteine). Both forms are sources of selenium. Soils contain inorganic selenites and selenates, which are accumulated by plants and converted into organic forms such as selenocysteine and selenomethionine. Most selenium in human tissue is in the form of selenomethionine, where it can be unspecifically incorporated into body proteins with the amino acid methionine. The skeletal muscle is the main storage for selenium and accounts for about 28% to 46% of the total selenium pool. Food as selenium source Seafood and offal are the richest sources of selenium. Other sources are meat, cereals and dairy products. The selenium content in drinking water is not nutritionally significant in most geographical regions. The amount of selenium in plant foods depends on the amount of selenium in the soil and other factors such as the pH of the soil, the amount of organic matter in the soil and whether the selenium is present in a form suitable for plant uptake. As a result, selenium concentrations in plant foods vary widely depending on geographical location. Bioavailability of selenium Some studies have compared the relative absorption and bioavailability of different forms of selenium. In one study, 10 groups of participants randomly received a placebo or either 200 or 600 µg selenium per day as selenomethionine, sodium selenite or selenium yeast for 16 weeks. The bioavailability of selenium based on urine excretion was highest for selenomethionine and lowest for selenite. EFSA has confirmed the following effects of selenium in the human organism: contributes to normal spermatogenesis contributes to the maintenance of normal hair contributes to the maintenance of normal nails contributes to a normal function of the immune system contributes to a normal thyroid function contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress The selenium tablets by Fairvital are highly dosed with 200µg elementary content. In addition, they are vegetarian and vegan and do not contain magnesium stearate or silicon dioxide. The tablets are easy to swallow due to their small size. One pack of selenium contains 120 tablets and is therefore sufficient for 4 months.

Selenomethionine is regarded as a good source of selenium and can effectively be resorbed by the body Selenomethionine (also: selenium methionine) contains the essential trace element selenium. A deficiency can lead to an insufficient function of the antioxidative system, which may result in a weakened immune system. Furthermore, selenium is of importance for the thyroid hormone metabolism as well as the female and male fertility. Selenium is a necessary component for the formation of glutathione, which every body cell needs. Studies about the trace element selenium Studies show that a selenium deficiency can have an impact on the health at an advanced age. A meta-analysis conducted in 2006 at the University of Baltimore came to the result that there is an evident link between selenium levels and the heart health. (Source: Am J Clin Nutr. 2006 Oct; 84(4):762-73. Selenium and coronary heart disease: a meta-analysis) Two further studies from France and China (both countries with low selenium levels in the soil) show that selenium is important for the brain or the cognitive performance in old age. (Sources: Gao, S. et al., 2006. Selenium Level and Cognitive Function in Rural Elderly Chinese. American Journal of Epidemiology, 22 September, pp. 955-965 and Akbaraly T. et al., Plasma Selenium Over Time and Cognitive Decline in the Elderly.. Epidemiology, Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2007, 18 (1), pp.52-58) Selenomethionine is regarded as a good source of selenium Unlike inorganic selenium, selenomethionine is actively resorbed as amino acid (methionine) and can be built into the endogenous proteins without initial transformation. This way, the selenomethionine is stored in organs and tissues and can be utilised by the body as needed. can of importance for the protection of cells and tissues activates the immune system and supports the thyroid function high bioavailability small tablets, easy to swallow vegetarian and veganwithout magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide
