My favorite selenium supplement – https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/shop/supplements/general-health/ultra-selenium/
Selenium is a key player in your body’s antioxidant defense system, which protects your body from inflammation and cellular damage that would otherwise lead to dysfunction and disease.
For example, selenium acts as a co-factor for enzymes that neutralize free radicals, such as glutathione peroxidase. Selenium-dependent enzymes also help recycle the potent antioxidants vitamins C & E.
Selenium-based enzymes play an important role in thyroid function. For example, they help convert a less active form of thyroid hormone (T4) into a more active form (T3).
Your immune system also benefits from selenium. Its role as an antioxidant helps protect your immune system. In cancer research, selenium has been shown to have immune-enhancing effects. It’s also been shown to help prevent harmless virus infections from becoming harmful. For example, evidence shows it may help prevent HIV from progressing to AIDS.
Selenium is also involved in cell growth, repair, and death. Plus, testosterone production and healthy sperm development rely on selenium.
