Now Foods Selenium 100mcg Selenium 100Tabs

Selenium is an essential trace element, necessary for the formation of the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase, an important enzyme with antioxidant properties that stops the oxidation of fats, especially bad (LDL) cholesterol. Selenium is also bound to the sulfated amino acid methionine (methionine), in a natural form, as found in the daily diet.

It is incorporated in the body into a large number of vital proteins called selenoproteins. Selenoproteins can reduce the risk of prostate cancer because they participate in the production of testosterone, a hormone that is an important regulator of both its normal and abnormal growth. Also, these proteins help regulate thyroid function and play an important role in the immune system. 

Selenium reduces the possibility of heart attacks and strokes, thanks to its mainly preventive capabilities. Its strong antioxidant property, in synergy with vitamin E, strengthens the thyroid, pancreas, liver and immunity. It is particularly useful for athletes, since it protects against muscle problems caused by free radicals, which appear after intense exercise.

NOW Selenium contains 100 mcg of selenium per capsule, exceeding the body's daily need for selenium.
