The global selenium yeast market is set to witness growth at a CAGR of 3.7% and top a valuation of US$ 375.9 Mn by 2032, as per Future Market Insights (FMI). Selenium as an important trace element is required to maintain good health and a balanced nutrient profile.

Selenium yeast is an essential compound product containing selenoproteins which is required by several other important anti-oxidants to convert hormones from inactive to active form. As an optimal selenium level is very important in order to maintain a healthy and proper body function, intake of selenium-based diet and supplements should be accurate, which can be provided by selenium yeast perfectly.

Selenium yeast in any form is utilized by selenoprotein synthesis of the body and it works best when organically sourced. This is easily metabolized as a cellular storage form of selenium, known as hydrogen selenide.

Selenomethionine absorption works best, as organic selenium yeast uses same active transport mechanism like methionine, which is an essential amino acid. This can only be dietary selenium which is more efficient than inorganic forms of selenium in terms of selenomethionine absorption. Some selenium yeast supplements include vitamin E as well to further facilitate selenium absorption and increase its antioxidant effects.

Competitive Landscape

Key selenium yeast brands are focusing on sustainable and organic product developments, while extending the product portfolio with extensive research procedures and several modifications to capture more market share in global arena and to further boost the industry growth.

• The brand Lallemand Inc. provides selenium yeast products under the name of Lalmin® Selenium, which is a safe form of essential mineral compound of organically bound selenium and available in the selenomethionine form. The range contains two products – Lalmin® Se1000 with 0.1% organically bound selenium, and Lalmin® Se2000 with 0.2% organically bound selenium, which provides antioxidant activity, supports thyroid, immune, and reproductive functions, and maintains nails and hair health.
• The manufacturer Lesaffre is selling organically bound nutritional yeast named as Lynside® Forte Se+ which is fortified with selenium to improve immunity and fertility in human body. During the fermentation process of production, the selenium gets integrated fully by the yeast and becomes an active coumpound of selenomethionine, which is the most bioavailable form of selenium to provide proteins, vitamins, fibers, minerals, and more nutrients to contribute to overall health and wellness.
