Selenium Incorporation: Selenomethionine

Overview

According to Acu-Cell Nutrition, selenomethionine is an organic form of selenium.
It is uniquely capable of substituting for the amino acid methionine during protein synthesis.

Mechanism of Incorporation

When ingested, selenomethionine is treated by the body much like regular methionine.
It is non-specifically and randomly incorporated into general body proteins (such as albumin and muscle tissue) in place of methionine.
This allows the body to create a selenium reservoir or storage pool within structural proteins and tissues.

Physiological Significance

Because it becomes part of general protein mass, selenomethionine is not immediately excreted.
It is released slowly as proteins undergo normal turnover and catabolism.
This gradual breakdown subsequently makes selenium available for the synthesis of functional selenoproteins and enzymes (such as glutathione peroxidase).
