Dietary intakes of selenium in the UK during the 70's were nearly twice the level we consume today. Moreover, official figures show that the selenium intake for 80% of adults in the UK is now below the recommended daily intake.
The situation is due in part to the reduction in imports of selenium-rich, high protein wheat used for bread making from North America, coupled with the wide usage of selenium-antagonistic artificial fertilisers and acid rain exposure.
Lamberts has selected the organic Seleno-L-Methionine form of selenium because of its superior absorption. Each tablet contains 200µg of selenium which is twice the level found in most selenium supplements.
