What Are The Health Benefits And Uses Of Selenium Enriched Yeast?
Feb 03, 2026
what is Selenium Enriched Yeast?
Selenium enriched yeast is an organic selenium supplement produced by adding inorganic selenium (such as sodium selenite) to the yeast culture medium and then undergoing microbial fermentation.
During growth, the yeast converts inorganic selenium into organic selenium bound to proteins and polysaccharides (such as selenomethionine and selenocysteine), resulting in significantly higher bioavailability than inorganic selenium.
Key ingredients:
- Organic selenium content ≥ 95%
- Protein (approximately 45%)
- B vitamins.
Safety: Its toxicity is far lower than that of inorganic selenium such as sodium selenite, and it poses no teratogenic or mutagenic risks.
selenium enriched yeast benefits:
1. Antioxidant
It can scavenge free radicals, protect cell membrane lipids from oxidative damage, and enhance glutathione peroxidase activity.
2. Immune System Enhancement
Selenium enriched yeast powder can promote T/B lymphocyte proliferation and enhance the activity of immune cells.
3. Cancer Prevention
It can inhibit DNA/RNA synthesis in cancer cells, interfere with carcinogen metabolism, and reduce cancer mortality, especially showing significant effects against gastric cancer and prostate cancer.
4. Protects cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health
- It can lower total cholesterol by 10% and low-density lipoprotein by 15%, preventing arteriosclerosis.
- It promotes liver cell repair and improves blood selenium levels in patients with hepatitis and cirrhosis.
5. Regulates endocrine function
It can maintain normal thyroid hormone synthesis, assist in lowering blood sugar, and mimic insulin function to regulate glucose transporters.
Application:

Selenium supplements, anti-tumor products, and anti-aging health products.
2. Food Fortifiers
It can be added to milk powder, biscuits, beverages, and table salt.
3. Animal Husbandry
