Find out how female fertility can be enhanced

In female reproductive health, producing a healthy oocyte involves several sequential steps. The growth of granulosa cells is considered an important feature during folliculogenesis. It has been demonstrated that Se might regulate the growth of granulosa cells and the biosynthesis of one of the major female sex hormones: Estradiol. Some research highlighted the selenium levels, especially GPX1: glutathione peroxidase-1 which is a selenoprotein, are higher in large healthy follicles. It suggests that selenium plays an important antioxidant role during follicular growth and proliferation. Oxidative damage has been implicated as a causal factor in the oocyte quality. Selenium supplementation is a solution to develop healthy follicles.  

In addition, low selenium concentrations in the follicular fluid are associated with female infertility. On the contrary, the addition of selenium resulted in positive impacts on embryo development and survival and reduced DNA damage. 

Lynside^® Forte Se+, a selenium-enriched yeast, is full of selenomethionine, the organic form of selenium. Indeed, selenium is incorporated into yeast during yeast fermentation. This process links selenium, an amino acid, methionine, to become selenomethionine, making it more bioavailable. This is the highest source of bioavailable selenium in the market. Two times higher than inorganic selenium, such as selenium salt. Selenium offers a bioavailability of more than 90% in humans.
