Selenium (Se)
Selenium (Se) is a microelement that slows down the ageing processes, is involved in protein metabolism, removes toxins, helps the body to protect itself from chronic illnesses, regulates the immune system, and is important for vision and male fertility. Selenium is also necessary for ensuring the normal functioning of the thyroid.
Selenium is a powerful antioxidant that fights oxidation stress and helps to protect against chronic illnesses such as cardiovascular diseases and cancer.
Scientific studies show that optimal selenium blood concentration is associated with a lower risk of certain types of cancer, including breast, lung, large intestine and prostate.
