Selenium is a mineral that plays an important role in health and well-being. Its benefits can be seen in the immune system, hair and nails among other parts of the body. Selenium is an extremely important mineral trace element, among other things it contributes to the normal function of the thyroid gland, but it can also contribute to spermatogenesis, the immune system and also to the reduction of oxidative stress by controlling the number of free radicals.
For these reasons, our bodies can't function without it, so it's worth finding out if we're getting enough of it. Thinking about your diet to see if you're eating foods that are rich in this mineral is a good first step. These include lean meats, tuna, eggs, beans, and some nuts like Brazil nuts.
There may be certain factors that reduce your daily selenium intake, including dietary choices and barriers. In this case, taking a supplement can increase the recommended daily intake and help manage your intake. Our one-a-day capsule is designed to do just that and is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. It contains selenium in a highly absorbable amino acid form: L-selenomethionine. One capsule provides 200 μg of this valuable element.
