Selenium is one of the essential minerals important for health, which means that it must be present in your diet. It is found in Brazil nuts, eggs, chicken and seafood, but its amount in food depends largely on the richness of the soil. For this reason, the selenium we consume can be in very small and insufficient amounts, since soils today are poor in trace elements. That is why you can also find selenium as a dietary supplement. This mineral supports many of the body's processes, including the immune system and cognitive function. Selenium contributes to the metabolism of thyroid hormones and DNA synthesis and helps protect against oxidative damage and infections. This formula contains methylselenocysteine - this is the same form of selenium that is found in garlic, broccoli and Brussels sprouts. Methylselenocysteine is a complex of selenium and amino acids with high bioavailability, which has unique protective benefits for the colon and overall health of the body. Its antioxidant properties allow it to stimulate the blocking of cellular damage that occurs from free radicals. This unique formula is combined with an amino acid for even greater bioavailability.

Why do I need to take this product?
→ The function of the immune system is to keep us healthy because our bodies are confronted with numerous pathogens every day. It is a complex mechanism and includes many types of cells, organs, proteins and tissues. Its most important function is to distinguish our own tissue from foreign tissue - self from non-self. Dead and defective cells are also recognized and removed by the immune system. If the immune system encounters a pathogen, such as a bacterium, virus or parasite, it creates the so-called immune response. In many cases, our immune system is not strong enough to deal with invaders that are foreign to our body. This can happen due to frequent illnesses, due to some chronic diseases, also with stress, insomnia and unhealthy diet. There are various means that can strengthen our immune defenses. Selenium is a mineral, a powerful antioxidant that promotes the immune response. In addition, Selenium promotes the health of the cardiovascular system, the thyroid gland, protects the brain from damage, etc.
How does the product work and what are the benefits of taking it?
→ Your immune system maintains the health of your entire body by identifying and fighting potential threats - bacteria, viruses and parasites. Selenium plays an important role in immunity. As a strong antioxidant, it limits oxidative stress in your body, which reduces inflammation and boosts immunity. Studies have shown that high levels of Selenium in the blood enhance the immune response. On the other hand, it is indicative that Selenium deficiency impairs the functions of immune cells and can lead to a slower immune response. Selenium supplements can significantly improve the condition of people infected with various viral diseases and the flu. Selenium also acts as a strong antioxidant. Selenium's antioxidant properties reduce oxidative stress by controlling free radical levels.
→ In addition to limiting oxidative stress, selenium may reduce the risk of certain types of cancer. This is due to selenium’s ability to reduce DNA damage, boost the immune system, and destroy cancer cells. A review of 69 studies involving over 350,000 people found that high levels of selenium in the blood reduced the risk of certain types of cancer, including breast, lung, colon, and prostate cancer.
→ A diet rich in selenium can help keep your heart healthy, as low selenium levels are linked to an increased risk of heart disease. An analysis of 25 observational studies found that a 50% increase in selenium levels in the blood reduced the risk of cardiovascular disease by 24%. Selenium may also lower markers of inflammation in your body - one of the main risk factors for heart disease. Including selenium supplements in your diet is a great way to keep oxidative stress and inflammation levels to a minimum. Selenium may also significantly improve brain function in people with cognitive impairment.
→ Selenium is also important for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland and protects it from oxidative damage. In fact, thyroid tissue contains more selenium than any other organ in the human body. An observational study involving over 6,000 people found that low serum selenium levels increased the risk of autoimmune thyroiditis and hypothyroidism.
→ Due to selenium’s ability to reduce inflammation, some research suggests that this mineral may help reduce symptoms in people with asthma, who have been shown to have lower levels of selenium in their blood. Scientific studies have found that supplementing with 200 mcg of selenium per day reduces the use of corticosteroid medications in asthmatics.
