difference between Se-methylselenocysteine and L-selenomethionine?

[Guest guest]

What is the difference between these 2 forms?

I read some posts who recommend L-selenomethionine and other recommend

Se-methylselenocysteine... so which one is best? Which one absorbs better?

thank you,

" Se-Methyl L-Selenocysteine (SeMC) is a naturally occurring seleno-amino acid

that is synthesized by plants such as garlic and broccoli.(ref 95-98) SeMC is an

organoselenium compound and also more bioabsorbable than other forms. Unlike

selenomethionine, which is incorporated into proteins in place of methionine,

SeMC is not incorporated into any proteins ... so it is fully available for the

synthesis of selenium-containing enzymes, such as glutathione peroxidase.(ref

99) "
