EDTA selenium is a chelated micronutrient used in agriculture and animal nutrition to deliver selenium in a stable, bioavailable form. It helps support plant growth and improves livestock health by ensuring efficient selenium absorption.

Industrial Uses

1. Animal Healthcare

  • Selenium Nutritional Supplement : Provides a bioavailable form of selenium essential for animal health, aiding antioxidant enzyme production (e.g., glutathione peroxidase), reproductive performance, and immune function.
  • Growth Promoter in Livestock : Supports healthy weight gain and metabolic efficiency in poultry, cattle, swine, and aquatic species by ensuring optimal selenium intake.
  • Stress and Disease Resistance Enhancer : Used during heat stress, vaccination, or transport, helping reduce oxidative damage and improve recovery and disease resistance.

2. Agrochemicals

  • Selenium Enrichment of Crops : Applied to soil or foliar for biofortification of crops (e.g., grains, garlic, and leafy greens) with selenium, benefiting human nutrition.
  • Correcting Selenium Deficiency in Soil : Chelated selenium ensures better uptake by plants, especially in selenium-deficient soils where elemental forms are ineffective.
  • Antioxidant Defense for Plants : Plays a role in protecting plant cells from oxidative stress and improving growth under abiotic stress conditions (drought, salinity).

3. Pharmaceuticals 

  • Ingredient in Mineral Supplements : EDTA Selenium is used in multi-mineral supplements due to its high bioavailability and stability, supporting antioxidant and thyroid health.
  • Support for Cancer Prevention Research : Investigated as a potential anticancer trace mineral, particularly in oxidative stress-related therapies or dietary interventions.

4. Personal Care

  • Antioxidant Additive in Skin Care : Added to creams and serums as a trace antioxidant, helping neutralize free radicals and protect against environmental stressors.
  • Scalp Health Agent : Occasionally used in anti-dandruff shampoos or scalp treatments for its antifungal and soothing properties when properly formulated.
