Selenium 200mcg Dietary Supplement with Selenium
Selenium is an essential trace element, essential for the formation of the antioxidant enzyme glutathione perioxidase (glutathione peroxidase), an important enzyme that works with other antioxidants to protect the body's cells from free oxidative stress.
It is incorporated into the body in a large number of vital proteins called selenoproteins. Selenoproteins 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.
The action of selenium reduces the chance of heart attacks and strokes. Its powerful antioxidant properties, in synergy with vitamin E, support the normal functioning of the pancreas, liver, and immune system. Selenium is especially useful for athletes, as it protects against muscle problems caused by free radicals after intense exercise.
NOW's Selenium Formula contains 200 mcg of selenium per capsule, exceeding the body's daily need for selenium.
Note: Selenium is contraindicated in people living in areas with high selenium levels.
