SELENIUM HIGH ABSORPTION 200 mcg

A crucially important antioxidant that protects the body by helping to prevent the formation of free radicals, aids in normal body growth and fertility.Immune support and helps maintain a healty prostate. The British Medical Association (BMA) recommends that everyone should take a selenium supplement.

Research at Cornell University (U.S.A.) )found that those taking selenium supplements (200mcg daily) had 63 per cent fewer prostate cancers and a 39 per cent lower cancer rate overall.

The first selenium function in animals wasn’t discovered until 1973. Dr. John Rotruck and his colleagues at the University of Wisconsin demonstrated that selenium was incorporated into molecules of an enzyme called glutathione peroxidase (GPX). This vital enzyme protects red blood cells, cell membranes and sub-cellular components against undesirable reactions with soluble peroxides. The discovery of GPX opened the door to our understanding of how selenium is protective against cancer, heart disease, arthritis and accelerated aging.
