Selenium Supplements

How Selenium Supports Your Health

Selenium is an essential mineral for your health, and as your body doesn’t naturally produce it, you must get it from the food and supplements you intake. A selenium supplement can aid you body in a vast number of ways:

• Helps to protect cells from oxidative stress - as an antioxidant, selenium supplements can help lower oxidative stress in the body. This is a selenium benefit as it can lower inflammation in the body and contribute to normal immune function.
• Supports normal function of the immune system - research has shown that having the right selenium levels can enhance immune competence. Selenium supplements, alongside other immune supplements, such as zinc supplements, can help you fight off infections such as the common cold.
• Contributes to normal thyroid function - selenium supplements help to fight free radicals in the body, which leads to the mineral contributing to the antioxidant function in the thyroid.
• Aids the maintenance of normal hair and nails - your thyroid contributes to hair and nail growth. Therefore a selenium supplement could help to maintain normal hair and nails.

Suffering from a selenium deficiency can impact your body’s ability to see these benefits. Ensuring optimum levels by taking a selenium supplement could help you see these advantages.
