Description

Selenium is an essential trace mineral that is found naturally in Brazil nuts, organ meats, seafood, and wheat germ.  Selenium is a trace element and a crucial nutrient for the body’s antioxidant enzyme systems. It’s essential for the production of the cellular enzyme, glutathione. Glutathione protects cells against oxidative stress and is important for the function of the body’s natural detoxification mechanisms. Selenium is also important for optimal endocrine and immune system function and has been recognized for its role in prostate, colon, and lung health.
In addition, it’s a component of more than 25 different proteins, called selenoproteins, which are necessary for a wide array of important physiological processes, including DNA synthesis and reproductive health.
