Micronized Selenium Yeast – D90 < 20 µm
Selenium yeast is produced by growing Saccharomyces cerevisiae in a selenium-rich medium, yielding mainly selenomethionine. Micronization supports uniform distribution of this trace-level ingredient. It is valued as an organic selenium source in antioxidant, thyroid and immune formulas.
Micronized (particle-engineered) grade with a tightly controlled particle size for improved dispersion, content uniformity and dissolution.
GUTINS Micronized Selenium Yeast — D90 < 20 µm is offered for manufacturers, formulators and brands. Specification: D90 < 20 µm; form / technology: Micronized powder; diet suitability: Verify source.
