Description
Supra Selenium Supra-Selenium is a form of selenium bound to yeast with high biological availability (good uptake). We know selenium mainly for its antioxidant capacity, because it is a component of glutathione peroxidase. Glutathione peroxidase is an antioxidant enzyme that transforms harmful oxygen molecules into water. In addition, it contributes to a better immune system. Another important role of selenium is its binding with heavy metals (detoxification). Finally, the function of our thyroid gland also depends heavily on selenium. Selenium notably influences an important enzyme, so that a selenium deficiency can lead to the thyroid gland functioning too slowly. √ Malabsorption or intestinal problems are the main factors that can lead to a selenium deficiency. Selenium contributes to: √ maintaining healthy hair and healthy nails √ the normal function of the immune system √ the normal function of the thyroid gland √ the protection of cells from oxidative stress
