Selenomethionine

0.2 gm

$4.50

Selenomethionine, a form of the amino acid methionine in which sulfur has been replaced by selenium, is a common food source of selenium and also the optimum carrier of this essential nutrient to your skin. It has been shown that selenomethionine has anti-melanoma activity. Selenomethionine seems to inhibit broad band UVB-induced p53 transactivation and protein accumulation and this effect correlates with reported protective effects of selenium against UV-induced DNA damage. This effect is also reflected in reduced inflammation and pigmentation and by later onset and lesser incidence of skin cancer.

Usage

Add the contents of the tube to 4 oz base cream; mix well until no particles can be seen. Add a couple of drops of antiox booster.
