Product description
ALKOSEL is a premium source of bioavailable selenium and is an excellent dietary source of selenium for companion animals.
It is authorized in the EU as a nutritional feed additive (ID number 3b811).
The production process of ALKOSEL mimics the natural process of organic selenium incorporation into plants. Like plants, the specific yeast strain used in ALKOSEL (Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCYC R397) absorbs inorganic selenium and converts it into organic selenium, mainly into selenomethionine and selenocysteine.
ALKOSEL offers guaranteed and proven quality.
What it delivers
Lallemand’s ALKOSEL is a high-quality bioavailable form of selenium-enriched yeast. ALKOSEL is readily incorporated and absorbed in an animal’s digestive tract, and it follows the same pathways as amino acids.
The association of two organic selenium forms in ALKOSEL guarantees optimal bioavailability by supporting several pathways for storage and functionality as well as protecting vital metabolic functions.
Why it matters
Selenium is an essential trace element for pets and horses, which is required for maintenance of health, support of growth and several biochemical-physiological functions such as, skin and coat quality, joint and bone integrity and paw pad condition.
Moreover selenium can act as antioxidant being the cofactor of glutathione peroxidase (GPx), one of the main antioxidant enzymes, which are able to neutralize the negative effect of oxidizing compounds, limiting the cellular oxidative stress induced by the reactive oxygen species, and to protect cells from damage and death.
Formulated for success
ALKOSEL is produced to ensure optimal flow within industrial equine and pet food processes and a homogenous distribution in premixtures, feed and supplements.
ALKOSEL is compatible with most equine and pet food ingredients and is stable in all food types: dry, wet, snacks and treats, and supplements.
ALKOSEL is packaged in 25-kg bags.
