Description
Technical & Manufacturing Relevance:
Widely used as a standardized inorganic selenium source in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulations
Supports antioxidant defense systems, particularly selenoproteins such as glutathione peroxidase
Common ingredient in parenteral nutrition (PN) and injectable formulations (pharmaceutical grade only)
Used in multivitamin–mineral premixes and fortified nutrition products at micro-dose levels
Requires accurate weighing, dilution, and validated SOPs due to narrow therapeutic index of selenium
Exhibits good stability in dry blends when protected from moisture and light
Applicable Dosage Forms:
Injectable and IV solutions (parenteral nutrition – pharma grade only)
Tablets and capsules (very low-dose formulations)
Oral liquids and drops (highly diluted, regulated use)
Powders and mineral premixes
Veterinary and specialty healthcare products (where permitted)
Pharmacopoeial / Quality Notes:
Available in grades compliant or aligned with USP / EP / BP / IP selenium monographs
White to off-white crystalline powder
Freely soluble in water; insoluble in alcohol
Strict limits for arsenic, mercury, cadmium, lead, and related impurities
Manufactured in GMP-certified facilities with batch-wise traceability and validated analytical testing (ICP-MS / AAS)
Animal-Origin Declaration:
100% non-animal origin
Free from BSE/TSE risk materials
Manufacturing Support:
Supplied with COA, SDS/MSDS, TDS, specification sheet, assay method, and origin declaration
Technical support for selenium equivalence calculations, micro-dosing, and formulation safety
Documentation support available for global resale, export, and regulatory submissions
Suitable for regulated pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturing worldwide, strictly within country-specific selenium RDA and UL limits
Important Note:
Sodium selenite is a high-potency inorganic selenium compound. Its use is restricted to qualified manufacturers with validated dosing systems, safety assessments, and full regulatory compliance for international distribution.
