Selenium
This double strength Selenium (as L-Selenomethionine) is an important nutritional trace mineral, involved in detoxification and antioxidant defense mechanisms in the body.
It is bonded to the essential sulphur amino acid, methionine,
in a naturally occuring form as found in the diet.
Selenium is itself an antioxidant and it is also vital for the formation of one of the body’s key antioxidant enzymes called glutathione
peroxidase. Health studies suggest it is therapeutic for:
Cancer prevention & Selenium:
Data collected from 27 countries revealed that increased dietary consumption of selenium was associated with lower incidence of cancers of the large intestine, rectum, prostate, breast, ovary and lung, as well as leukemia.
In a recent four-year study in the United States, selenium supplementation of 200 mcg/d resulted in a 45-percent reduction in lung cancer, a 58-percent reduction in colorectal cancer and a 63-percent reduction in prostate cancer.
Eye Health & Selenium: Decreased selenium in aqueous humor and serum of patients with senile cataracts may reflect defective antioxidant defense, which leads to the formation of cataracts.
Detox & Selenium: Selenium helps rid the body of heavy metal toxins like mercury and cadmium.
Immunity & Selenium The immune system requires selenium to function properly.
In a non-deficient population of elderly people,
selenium supplementation has been found to stimulate
the activity of white blood cells. Selenium may have also have anti-viral properties by enhancing the body’s cellular defenses. Selenium is one of the most common nutrient deficiencies among AIDS and HIV-infected individuals.
Mens Health & Selenium Selenium supplementation has partially normalized
the actions of sperm cells in infertile men in double-blind research.
Food sources: Brazil nuts are the best source of selenium. Yeast, whole grains, and seafood
