INCREDIBLE SELENIUM PROS
ANTIOXIDANT BENEFITS
Selenium is a powerful antioxidant that prevents free radicals from damaging your tissues. Free radicals occur naturally in the body but can rapidly accumulate due to environmental factors, leading to oxidative damage. In addition to slowing aging, selenium also reduces your risk of Alzheimer's disease and stroke.
HEART BENEFITS
According to a study, selenium can help decrease heart disease risks by 24%, this is because it reduces inflammation and most heart diseases are caused by increased inflammation. Lower levels of glutathione peroxidase can also cause heart diseases and atherosclerosis, and selenium supplements can help increase those levels preventing those risks and threats.
BRAIN BENEFITS
Alzheimer’s patients have low selenium levels which means an adequate intake of the nutrient can help reduce symptoms and risks of the disease.
IMMUNE BENEFITS
Lack of selenium reduces immunity's responsiveness. Patients with AIDS, tuberculosis and hepatitis C may benefit from supplementing this nutrient.
OTHER BENEFITS
Selenium supplementation reduced symptoms of Hashimoto's thyroiditis. It can also improve asthma symptoms.
