Sel-Plex is considered to be a premium form of organic selenium yeast, 0.2% (2000 mg/kg) selenium yeast.
Dr Eleanor Kellon VMD “Whole blood selenium is the preferred test, since it measures both selenium in the plasma and selenium inside red blood cells. With marginal intakes of selenium, the red cell levels will drop first, so serum or plasma testing may show adequate levels when total body selenium is actually borderline or low.”‘
