Selenium is an antioxidant and is used by the body to assist in many chemical processes. It is also an important element that helps the body deal with heavy metal toxicity, especially mercury.
Selenium and Vitamin E are synergists (they work together) and provide the body with powerful antioxidant protection from free radical damage. Free radical damage has been linked to the development of cancer, heart disease, arthritis and rapid ageing.
Selenium also plays a role in the healthy functioning of the thyroid gland and immune system.
