Brazil nuts contain mostly selenomethionine. See: http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/jf0256541 Characterization of Selenium Species in Brazil Nuts by HPLC−ICP-MS and ES-MS
"Extracts are evaluated against available standards for the commercially obtainable seleno-amino acids, selenomethionine (SeMet), selenoethionine (SeEt), and selenocystine (SeCys); selenomethionine was demonstrated to be the most abundant of these seleno-amino acids. Further characterization of unidentified selenium-containing peaks is attempted by the employment of several procedures, including electrospray-mass spectrometry (ES-MS). A peptide structure was identified; however, this was considered a tentative proposal due to the large background produced by the extremely complicated brazil nut matrix." Plus, this would be an issue only if you take large amounts of CS regularly. - Steve N -----Original Message----- From: Sandy [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, August 27, 2010 8:29 AM To: [email protected] Subject: EXTERNAL:Re: Re:CS>My first post - selenium I eat about 5 Brazil nuts a day to get my selenium...wonder where that leaves me in the scheme of things?
