Zinc Plus Selenium 90 Capsules
Zinc is a powerful trace mineral responsible for hundreds of functions in the body. It is used in all cells, is a fundamental building block of about 3,000 proteins, and is essential for more than 300 enzymatic reactions in the body. Although zinc is abundant in many foods, certain conditions may prevent you from absorbing and utilising this vital mineral. Chronic stress, pregnancy, a diet high in grains, legumes, seeds, and nuts, as well as being over 60 years old, can put you at a higher risk of low zinc levels. Zinc Plus Selenium is carefully formulated for optimal mineral balance with zinc glycinate chelate, a highly effective source designed for better absorption.
Combined with highly absorbable antioxidant selenium from enriched yeast and trace amounts of copper, Zinc Plus Selenium provides well-rounded support:
- Healthy cell growth and replication.
- Healthy immune response.
- Brain health and cognitive functions.
- Respiratory health.

Zinc Plus Selenium 90 Capsules - Dr. Mercola
Zinc deficiency is a widespread issue affecting nearly 1 in 3 people globally. Its symptoms often mimic those of other common disorders, making it frequently overlooked.
Even with adequate dietary zinc, certain conditions can hinder the absorption and utilisation of this vital mineral. Stress, pregnancy, vegetarian diets, high grain, legume, seed, and nut intake, and age over 60 increase the risk of deficiency.
Zinc plays a crucial role in immune function, cell growth, and inflammatory responses, so ensuring zinc deficiency doesn't impact your health is essential.
Studies show that a specific form of selenium-enriched yeast is more effective. It is a complete protein form of selenium compared to single amino acid forms like selenomethionine, commonly found in selenium supplements and multivitamins.
This bioavailable fermented yeast (contains no unhealthy active yeast!) can accumulate and incorporate selenium directly into protein structures. This significantly reduces oxidative stress biomarkers in the body. In many parts of the USA, Europe, Australia, Russia, New Zealand, and China, low soil selenium levels increase deficiency risk. Since any form of zinc supplementation can reduce copper, an important micronutrient, we've added a small amount of copper to our Zinc Plus Selenium.
Your age, diet, current health status, lifestyle, and even your postcode can increase your risk of zinc or selenium deficiency, or both.

Product benefits: why this combination of zinc, selenium, and copper
Zinc (15 mg) - 136% RDA - adhere to the recommended daily dosage, one capsule daily
Zinc is in the chelated form of zinc glycinate. A high-potency zinc source in a special form between two glycine molecules. This chelation protects zinc from phytates and competing minerals.
According to new findings, many factors play a role in absorption, including the ratio of molecules to which the mineral is bound, the digestive tract, nutrient uptake, chelation degree, molecule type, and manufacturing technique.
Some conclusions suggest improved absorption with fermented foods, though this is not fully confirmed information affecting the entire zinc pathway in the body. Key is proper chelation and molecular weight. This formation can simulate the natural absorption process and movement across the mucosal membrane.
Selenium (200 mcg) - 364% RDA
Selenium is another mineral as important as zinc for overall health support. However, not all selenium supplements are the same. This is a biological form of fermented brewer's yeast protein - Saccharomyces cerevisiae (contains no unhealthy active yeast). It incorporates selenium directly into protein structures, helping reduce oxidative stress biomarkers in your body.
This full protein form with selenium is more effective than simple single amino acid forms like selenomethionine or sodium selenite, commonly used in supplements. The combination provides effective action like the double combination of methylselenocysteine and selenocysteine. The biological fermented form is the closest version to the natural form of selenium, such as in Brazil nuts.
Selenium supports cardiovascular and cognitive health, plays a key role in thyroid health, and is as important as iodine. It serves as the first line of defence against harmful free radicals in cells. Selenium is an active component of glutathione peroxidase, an enzyme with strong antioxidant properties. It is crucial for glutathione synthesis - the body's own antioxidant.
Copper (250 mcg) - 28% RDA
Also contains copper in the chelated form of copper glycinate, considering that any type of zinc can reduce copper, an important trace element affecting immunity. Be cautious of zinc overdose.
Zinc is important because:
Helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels within a normal range
Helps regulate protein synthesis
Supports a healthy respiratory system
Supports cell function
Helps support a normally functioning gastrointestinal tract
Helps protect against excessive oxidation (acts as an antioxidant)
Some common signs that may indicate deficiency:
Loss of appetite
Moodiness
Impaired taste and smell
Food sources containing zinc
Liver
Crimini mushrooms
Spinach and sea vegetables
Oysters
Pumpkin seeds
Beef
Green peas
Raw milk and cheese
Beans
