| You simply cannot find a
higher quality selenium yeast than SelenoSource AF.
It is an excellent source of
selenomethionine, with no inorganic selenium present after
washing. The non-selenomethionine selenium is organic in nature
comprising of cell wall bound selenoamino acids such as selenocystine.
Figure 1 shows a typical separation
obtained using the ion-pair chromatographic system when interfaced to
the ICP-MS for reference standards. Figure 2 is the chromatogram
obtained from SelenoSource AF.

It can be seen that most of the selenium
extracted has a similar elution time to that of selenomethionine. The
identity of this eluting component has been confirmed as being
selenomethionine. The remaining extractable selenium is thought to be
selenocystine.
