Selenium 200 Mcg for Immune Support, Thyroid, Prostate & Heart Health

Stay healthy and support your body with this trace mineral. Exposure to environmental pollutants, everyday stress, and even natural body processes that convert oxygen to energy all create damaging free-radical compounds in the body. These free radicals may contribute to physical and mental aging, damage, and disease. Cells, proteins, and DNA are all susceptible to attack and damage from free radicals. Antioxidants are crucial for the body's defense against free radicals, working as scavengers to neutralize these harmful compounds and protect cells from damage.

Selenium is essential for the production of the enzyme glutathione peroxidase, a key component of the body's primary internal antioxidant defense system. Selenium is present in nearly every cell in the body and is incorporated into proteins to form selenoproteins, which are important antioxidant enzymes. While fruits and vegetables are major sources of selenium, the actual selenium content depends on the selenium levels in the soil where they are grown. Depleted selenium soil content can result in low selenium intake. Meats and bread are also common dietary sources of selenium, along with some nuts, but specific amounts may vary. Selenium can be destroyed when foods are overcooked, over-processed, or over-refined.

Although required only in small amounts, selenium supplementation is an easy way to ensure your body receives this important mineral. Balincer Selenium 200 mcg provides selenium in an amino acid chelate form.
