Product Information
Selenium is an important trace mineral and a constituent of
the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase, which is necessary for
neutralizing the free radical, hydrogen peroxide, as well as other lipid
peroxides (oxidized fats).*
Selenium's beneficial role is not
limited to its antioxidant function; it is also necessary for conversion
of the thyroid hormone T4 (thyroxine) to active T3 (triiodothyronine).*
Selenium also appears to exert important positive effects on normal
cell function and cell development.*
Numerous epidemiological
studies have found that maintaining normal serum selenium levels can be
associated with support of normal cell function and differentiation, as
well as healthy heart, connective tissue, eye, liver, and thyroid
function.* Selenium supplementation also may exert a protective effect
against mercury, cadmium, and other heavy metal toxicities.*
Also
a very well-absorbed mineral chelate, selenium citrate contains 200 mcg
of selenium bound to citric acid.* As noted with other citrate
products, citric acid is an important Krebs cycle organic acid that is
necessary for the optimal production of energy in the mitochondria.*
