Selenium forte
To improve the selenium supply
Selenium - An important component of the antioxidative network
Selenium is an essential trace element that was discovered in 1818 by the Swedish chemist Berzelius. It was named after the Greek moon goddes, Selene, due to its liver-grey brilliance. The esential trace element is a part of many enzymes and proteins. Thus, selenium plays a role in regulating the thyroid metabolism, helps to maintain normal hair and nails, and contributes to protecting the cells against the activities of aggressive molecules, the so-called free radicals, as part of the antioxidative network.

FAQ
At Biogena, “pure substance principle” means that we do not use technological additives which are used for the fully automated manufacturing of tablets, capsules and pills (e.g. anticaking or release agents and so forth) or additives that are used for optical reasons or for enhancing the taste of the products (artificial aroma, colouring agents, coatings etc.). Due to a semi-automatic manufacturing process, we can avoid these substances that often have a higher proportion in customary products than the actual active ingredients. In the case of nutritional supplements, additives have to be indicated in the list of ingredients. Here, the patient or customer can get useful information. Concerning the single ingredients, we also care for our raw materials to be free of carrier substances. In cases where this is not possible, we use natural food components such as maltodextrin, cellulose powder or calcium carbonate. The majority of our ingredients is produced exclusively for us – free of carrier substances (e.g. our enzymes our probiotics: other manufacturers often use lactose as a carrier – the product batches produced for us are explicitly without carriers).
BIOGENA preparations are carefully manufactured in our own production facility, BIOGENA Good Health World (Salzburg, Austria), to a unique manufacturing standard. We are certified according to ISO 22,000:2018 and GMP - Good Manufacturing Practice and have organic, halal and kosher certification.
