Selenium – Selenium
80 vegetarian capsules
100 mcg
Selenium is a particularly important mineral because it supports the functionality of several larger systems in the human body – the endocrine, immune and cardiovascular systems.
Selenium is an essential mineral for the body, its role is mainly associated with the construction of important enzymes that are related to the body’s antioxidant protection against the harmful effects of free radicals. Selenium has a basic role for many functions in the body thanks to its powerful antioxidant properties.
Main benefits of Selenium for the body
Selenium is among the vital minerals for the human body. The presence of this element is associated with particularly important processes that occur continuously in our organism. The presence of selenium in the blood is decisive in terms of the body’s immune capacity and the health of the cardiovascular and endocrine systems.
Helps strengthen the immune system
Immunity is a system consisting of protective-adaptive reactions of the body. The immune system is made up of many cells and proteins in our body. Each of the participating elements has a direct connection and dependence with another, and their ultimate task is to “recognize” and react against incoming elements (bacteria, viruses, etc.) in a way suitable for the organism.
The decline of immunity and the entry of bacteria are the main drivers for the development of viruses and infections. The mineral selenium has the ability to bind to other important biologically active components, the combination of which has an immunomodulating effect. Selenium is a powerful nutrient that performs important biological interactions. This mineral participates as a building block and contributes to the formation of polypeptide chains. Selenium has a huge antioxidant role, as it is part of the composition of the important amino acid selenocysteine (a natural compound of selenium). This means, respectively, that this mineral has a connection with all the proteins of which it is a part, the so-called selenoproteins (NCBI https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3723386/). Studies focusing on the effects of selenium on the immune system prove that this mineral has anti-inflammatory and immunostimulating effects. The intake of selenium generally supports the immune system and successfully neutralizes the action of free radicals. The reason for this is precisely the biological interaction of selenium with proteins in the body.
Neutralizes the action of free radicals in the body
Selenium is a fantastic antioxidant. Antioxidants make a huge contribution to the body as they help protect against oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is a condition caused precisely by a lack of antioxidants. The role of antioxidants is to reduce the production of oxidants. In other words, antioxidants have the ability to reduce the effect of oxidative stress in the body by controlling oxidative processes. The antioxidant action of selenium will help prevent cell destruction by free radicalsradicals in the body.
Supports the work of the endocrine system and promotes thyroid health
The endocrine system is an extremely delicate mechanism. The thyroid gland is an organ that performs vital tasks:
Production of thyroglobulin (glycoprotein)
- Storage of iodine and other nutrients that are needed for hormone production
- Generation and release of thyroid hormones.
- Generation and release of calcitonin.
The main thing that the thyroid gland is responsible for is the synthesis of hormones in the body. In turn, this main task is associated with many processes in the body (including metabolism, sleep, movement, sexual desire, mood, etc.). The proper functioning of the thyroid gland depends to a large extent on the presence of selenium in the body. Selenium plays a huge role in metabolizing thyroid hormones: thyroxine (so-called “tetrajodthyronin” – (T4) and triiodothyronin “trijodthyronin” – (T3). Selenium supports the proper absorption of iodine in the body and thus contributes to the health of the thyroid gland . In addition, selenium is bound to proteins in the body. Upon entering the body, selenium is reformed into selenoproteins. Selenoproteins also aid in the release of thyroid hormones and help maintain optimal thyroid function.
Supports the work of the cardiovascular system
The presence of selenium can significantly support cardiovascular health. Research results indicate that low levels of selenium in the body suggest a higher risk of cardiovascular disease.
The function of the coronary arteries is to deliver oxygen and nutrients) to the heart. There is a problem when the coronary arteries and arterioles (smaller arteries of the heart) in question are too compressed. Arteries that are exposed to high pressure are usually already narrowed by atherosclerosis. As a result, proper blood transfusion becomes a more difficult task. Or the insufficient and incorrect supply of blood to the area of the heart supplied by one or more coronary vessels narrowed by atherosclerosis.
Selenium helps control oxidative stress and reduces the inflammatory processes associated with atherosclerosis or plaque build-up in the arteries.
Regular intake of Selenium (capsule form) will help to:
- Maintaining optimal immune function (improves the body’s immune response)
- Improving the work of the thyroid gland;
- Supports the work of the cardiovascular system;
- Protects healthy cells and neutralizes the effect of oxidative stress;
- Supports reproductive abilities and functions;
- Muscle work helps.
