  • COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR ESTABLISHING AND/OR MAINTAINING PREGNANCY
    Publication number: 20140348872
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions comprising selenium (e.g., organic selenium (e.g., selenized yeast (e.g., SEL-PLEX))) and methods of using the same (e.g., as a therapeutic and/or prophylactic treatment). For example, the present invention provides compositions comprising selenium (e.g., organic selenium (e.g., selenized yeast (e.g., SEL-PLEX))) and methods of using the same for treating and/or preventing one or more conditions (e.g., problems) disorders, and/or diseases related to establishing and/or maintaining a pregnancy. Compositions and methods of the present invention find use in, among other things, research and clinical (e.g., preventative and therapeutic) applications.

  • Use of selenium compounds, especially selenium yeasts for altering cognitive function
    Patent number: 8871715
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions and methods for altering cell function. In particular, the present invention provides compositions comprising selenium (e.g., SEL-PLEX) and methods of using the same (e.g., as a therapeutic and/or prophylactic treatment for neurodegenerative disease). Additionally, the present invention demonstrates that specific forms of selenium (e.g., SEL-PLEX) possess the ability to alter expression of genes associated with disease and/or aging while other forms of selenium (e.g., selenomethionine) do not.
