Now Selenium 100mcg - Σελήνιο (100tabs)
Selenium is an essential trace element, necessary for the formation of the enzyme glutathione peroxidase, with antioxidant properties that stops the oxidation of fats, especially bad (LDL) cholesterol.
It is also bound to the sulfur amino acid methionine, in a natural form, as found in the daily diet.
Actions:
Selenoproteins (vital proteins in which it is incorporated), can reduce the risk of prostate cancer, because they are involved in the production of testosterone, a hormone that is an important regulator of both normal and abnormal growth.
These proteins also help regulate thyroid function and play an important role in the immune system.
Selenium reduces the chance of heart attacks and strokes, thanks to its mainly preventive capabilities.
Its powerful antioxidant properties, in synergy with vitamin E, strengthen the thyroid, pancreas, liver and immune system.
