Description :
Sodium Selenite can be described as a non-colourless or white solid that belongs to the selenium inorganic compounds family. It is a crucial trace mineral compound that is extensively used in the food, pharmaceutical and industrial industries. Recognised for its role in supporting antioxidant activity, cellular protection, and immune system function, Sodium Selenite is an essential source of selenium supplementation. Chemically known as Na₂SeO₃, Sodium Selenite is soluble in water and has excellent stability under controlled conditions. It is used in nutraceuticals, animal feed, food fortification, and laboratory research due to its bioavailable selenium content. Complementary compounds such as Disodium Succinate and Ethyl Oleate are often used in related pharmaceutical and nutritional formulations. It is available in both trim and bulk packaging — contact us to get the best price for your order.
Sodium Selenite is used as a selenium supplement in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulations to maintain proper metabolic and antioxidant balance. It plays a vital role in the synthesis of selenoproteins and enzymes that protect cells from oxidative stress.
It is commonly used as a micronutrient additive in food fortification and animal feed. Sodium Selenite supports healthy growth, immune function, and reproduction in livestock and poultry.
In biochemical and medical research, Sodium Selenite is used as a selenium source for cell culture studies, enzyme reactions, and antioxidant testing.
Sodium Selenite is also utilised in glass manufacturing, metal finishing, and pigment preparation, owing to its unique redox properties. Complementary compounds like Phytol and Fenchyl Alcohol are often used in related synthesis and formulation processes.
Always wear gloves, goggles, and protective clothing when handling Sodium Selenite.
Avoid inhalation, ingestion, or direct skin contact; handle under proper ventilation.
Store in tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry area away from moisture and incompatible materials like acids or strong oxidisers.
Dispose of waste materials in accordance with local environmental and safety regulations.
In case of accidental contact, wash the affected area with water and seek medical attention if irritation persists.
