Minerals - Selenium

 

 
Description

Selenium is a trace mineral element found in soil and foods. Selenium levels in food are directly related to soil selenium concentrations where that food was grown.

The primary function of selenium is to inhibit the oxidation of lipids. Teamed with vitamin E, selenium fights free radical damage and helps produce antibodies. Selenium is a component of the antioxidant glutathione peroxidase which also works with vitamin E to prevent free radical damage to cell membranes.
