Selenium is an essential trace mineral. It activates an antioxidant enzyme called glutathione peroxidase which may assist the organism from cellular degeneration and stop free radicals from damaging cells and DNA. Various studies have confirmed the effectiveness of selenium and its therapeutic benefits. Selenium is essential for healthy immune functioning and also
needed to activate thyroid hormones.
Selenium supplementation has been found to stimulate the activity of white blood cells, primarily components of the immune system. Selenium may help people with asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, and cardiovascular disease. Selenium levels drop with age and its intake may help slow the aging process, cognitive decline, and dementia. Low selenium levels are also implicated in depression, male infertility, weak immune system, and thyroid problems. Selenium may also slow the progression of HIV and counteract effects of heavy metals.
This supplement also contains vitamin E. Research has confirmed that vitamin E and selenium can act synergistically and affect biological processes, mainly antioxidant and immunity. Vitamin E is considered an important nutrient to vision, reproduction, and health of the whole organism. It also has antioxidant properties. Antioxidants are substances that could protect the cells against the effects of free radicals - molecules produced when the body breaks down food or it is exposed to dangerous compounds such as smoke and radiation. Free radicals might play a role in heart disease and other conditions.
In addition to the above compounds, kale and spinach have been added.
Both vegetables are linked to impressive health benefits. They are rich in antioxidants and many other phytochemicals.
