Vitamin C  [80mg]​​​​​​

Wellness, Beauty & Mind™ contains 80mg (100% DRI) of vitamin C from acerola fruit extract. One of its most prominent functions is its role in collagen formation. Collagen is a vital protein that helps maintain the integrity of our skin, cartilage, ligaments, and blood vessels. Without sufficient vitamin C, our body cannot produce collagen effectively, leading to issues with wound healing and the maintenance of connective tissue. Additionally, vitamin C strengthens our immune system by facilitating the production and function of white blood cells, which are the first line of defense against pathogens and infections. This ability to support the immune system makes vitamin C an invaluable nutrient, especially during cold winter months or times of illness. Moreover, for those consuming a significant amount of plant-based sources of iron, vitamin C helps the body absorb non-heme iron more efficiently, which is a vital process for iron absorption. This makes it especially important for vegetarians and vegans to ensure they are getting enough vitamin C in their diet to maximize iron uptake. With these properties, it's clear that vitamin C is not just a simple antioxidant but plays a versatile and central role in maintaining our overall health.

Selenium [55µg]​​​​​​

Wellness, Beauty & Mind contains 55µg (100% DRI) Selenium in the form of L-selenomethionine. Selenium, in its organic form as L-selenomethionine, is an essential trace element that the body cannot produce on its own but plays a crucial role in many of our bodily functions. Among its most important functions, selenium acts as a cofactor for antioxidant enzymes such as glutathione peroxidase, which helps protect our cells from the harmful effects of free radicals and oxidative stress. This protective effect is especially important for preserving cell integrity and maintaining our health. Additionally, selenium is intimately linked to our thyroid function, where it assists in the production of necessary thyroid hormones. This process is crucial, as these hormones regulate a range of body functions, from our metabolism to our energy level. Selenium also plays a vital role in our immune system, where it helps to strengthen our natural defense against potential diseases and infections. L-Selenomethionine is produced through biofermentation, a biotechnical method where yeast cells are fed with sodium selenite, an inorganic form of selenium. During this process, microorganisms, such as yeast, convert the selenium into the organic form of L-Selenomethionine. This method provides a highly concentrated and bioavailable form of selenium, making it easier for the human body.
