The trace element selenium is essential for many important functions within the human body. Amongst other things, selenium contributes towards maintaining healthy hair and nails, a normal thyroid and immune system function and protection of the cells. The body particularly needs selenium at times of high physical strain and stress, in old age and during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Because plant-based foods from our latitudes generally contain little selenium, we recommend, in particular for vegetarians and vegans, a nutritional supplement with selenium, towards which our vegan tablets without animal-based ingredients make an important contribution Each tablet contains 200 µg pure selenium.

Chromium plays a significant role during the metabolic processing of carbohydrates, in particular during the absorption of sugar. As confirmed by independent Researchers from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), this essential, i.e. vital trace element contributes towards the maintenance of normal blood sugar levels as well as to the normal metabolic processing of macronutrients. Carbohydrates, fats and proteins are jointly referred to as macronutrients because they are absorbed in large quantities (Greek word "makros" = large). Chromium can be exploited better by the human organism if bonded with picolinate (picolinic acid) Chromium picolinate is therefore considered the best way to take chromium. Each tablet contains 200 µg chromium. Vegan, without animal-based ingredients.
