The immune system is our first line of defence against external threats<\/strong> like viruses and bacteria. To function at its best, it requires a proper supply of essential micronutrients, including selenium<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This trace element plays a vital role in supporting the body\u2019s natural defences<\/strong>, helping maintain the normal functioning of the immune system<\/strong> and protecting cells from oxidative stress<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

However, selenium absorption through diet is not always optimal, due to factors such as the poor bioavailability of some forms of selenium or issues with absorption in the intestines.<\/p>\n

To address these challenges, PharmaNutra has developed UltraSel\u00ae<\/strong>, an innovative form of selenium<\/a> (sodium selenite<\/strong> containing 0.3% selenium) with Sucrosomial\u00ae Technology, designed to ensure high bioavailability and excellent tolerability.<\/p>\n

Selenium and the immune system: an essential link<\/h2>\n

Selenium performs multiple functions at the immune level. This micronutrient contributes to the production and proper functioning of selenoproteins<\/strong>, essential proteins that regulate several biological processes, including the immune response and protection from oxidative stress.<\/p>\n

In addition, selenium acts as an immunostimulant.<\/strong> It promotes the proliferation and activation of T cells<\/strong>, which are key to the body\u2019s defence against infections, as well as enhancing the activity of natural killer (NK) cells and stimulating other innate immune cells.<\/p>\n

Its antioxidant action <\/strong>helps reduce damage caused by free radicals, protecting immune cells and ensuring a more effective immune response.<\/p>\n

Selenium deficiency<\/strong> has been linked to increased susceptibility to infections<\/strong> and a diminished ability of the body to combat pathogens.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Other benefits of selenium<\/h2>\n

In addition to its vital role in the immune system, selenium serves many other functions essential for the body\u2019s overall well-being.<\/p>\n

It supports thyroid health<\/strong> by aiding in the proper functioning of thyroid hormones, which regulate metabolism and energy expenditure. Selenium also contributes to cardiovascular health<\/strong> due to its antioxidant properties, helping to reduce oxidative stress in blood vessels.<\/p>\n

Moreover, selenium is crucial for maintaining healthy skin and hair<\/strong>, as it protects cells from environmental damage and promotes their regeneration.<\/p>\n

UltraSel\u00ae: optimum assimilation thanks to Sucrosomial\u00ae Technology<\/h2>\n

\"ultraselThe innovation of UltraSel\u00ae<\/strong> lies in the use of Sucrosomial\u00ae Technology<\/strong>, which encapsulates sodium selenite molecules in a matrix of phospholipids and sucrose esters (Sucrosome\u00ae<\/a>). This protective matrix shields the selenium from the harsh gastric environment and enhances its absorption in the intestines.<\/p>\n

This advanced technology offers several benefits:<\/p>\n
