Selenium is an essential trace element that is essential for the body to function properly. It plays an important role in hormonal balance, thyroid health and is involved in the antioxidant defence system.
Virtually every cell in the body contains selenium, with the largest amounts accumulating in the kidneys, liver, spleen and pancreas.
It has many positive properties for the body, including its outstanding antioxidant properties. It inhibits the damaging effects of free radicals on DNA and supports the body's defence against various diseases. It is involved in the synthesis of an antioxidant enzyme - glutathione peroxidase - which protects against harmful substances from the environment, food and other sources.
Selenium should be used in combination with other antioxidants (Q-10, NAC, Vitamin C and E, etc.) to enhance the effect.
Selenium is essential for a healthy immune system, stimulates immunity and is effective against viral infections.
Selenium protects cardiovascular health by inhibiting blood clot formation. It also reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke. It also supports cardiovascular health by increasing the ratio of HDL ('good') cholesterol in the blood to LDL ('bad') cholesterol. The cardiovascular benefits of selenium are particularly important for smokers and people who have had a heart attack or stroke.
Selenium also helps prevent reduced vision in old age. It can be effectively used to prevent cataracts and macular degeneration.
It also plays a role in the functioning of the hormonal system, as it participates in the transformation of the thyroid hormone, thyroxine, into its active form, which is essential for the healthy functioning of cells.
Natural sources of selenium are brazil nuts, offal, seafood and wheat germ.
It is especially important to pay attention to selenium intake during pregnancy. A high level of selenium deficiency during pregnancy can lead to heart malformations or sudden infant death.
