Selenium protects normal cell function by scavenging harmful free radicals. It is a natural antioxidant that decreases oxidative damage and delays the oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids as a component of selenoprotein P and selenoenzymes, such as glutathione peroxidase. The highest levels of Selenium are present in the thyroid gland, where it removes reactive oxygen species produced during the synthesis of thyroid hormones. It also plays a direct role in thyroid hormone synthesis. Additionally, selenium protects immune cells from the over-production of reactive oxygen species that can occur during normal immune responses. Pure Encapsulation’s Selenium provides selenomethionine, an organic, bioavailable form of selenium. [CAPS]

Selenium regulates fat metabolism by controlling the production of thyroid hormone...
Selenium
is an important trace mineral that people may be deficient in because they eat food from areas where the selenium content of the soil is low. Selenium’s most important function is as an antioxidant where it protects the cell from damage and prevents the oxidation of other vitamins and nutrients. It does this by neutralizing free radicals.
They are unstable molecules that in their bid to become more stable must bump into healthy cells and cause damage. Free radicals contribute to cardiovascular disease by producing oxidized LDL cholesterol, which causes atherosclerotic plaques.
Selenium’s antioxidant properties also help in
cancer, which can result from free radicals damaging the cellular genetic material. It is believed to be an
anti-aging
vitamin because as an antioxidant it protects the body against environmental pollutants other substances that and lead to aging.
Selenium regulates fat metabolism by controlling the production of
thyroid
hormone. Selenium and
vitamin E
act together to produce the antibodies which are important for protecting the body from infections. Selenium supplementation is particularly important for men because selenium concentrates in the testicles and is lost through seminal fluid. Selenium,
vitamin E
and
zinc
have been shown to reduce prostate inflammation. Selenium has been used to treat many conditions including
male infertility,
asthma, arthritis, cataracts, AIDS, hypothyroidism, alcoholic cirrhosis and
high blood pressure.
Selenium supplements are available in tablet or
capsule
form. Selenium is often grown on yeast and may not be suitable for those who are sensitive to yeast or have a tendency towards
candida
infections. Selenomethionine is another highly active form of selenium that does not contain yeast. Selenium works well with
vitamin E,
vitamin C, and beta-carotene and can often be found in a complex with these other
antioxidants.
Selenium levels may be decreased by high dose corticosteroid therapy (prednisone).
