What are Selenium Plus tablets for?
Selenium is an essential mineral with several important roles in the body. It forms an integral part of the free radical scavenging enzyme Glutathione Peroxidase, which has an important natural antioxidant role in the body helping in combat against the harmful effects of 'free radicals'. Free radicals are the natural by-products of oxygen metabolism that may contribute to the development of chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease. Selenium works with Vitamin E and other antioxidants, to help protect cells from free radical damage.
Selenium also plays an important role in our immune system's function by synthesizing antibodies, in thyroid hormone metabolism, in reproduction, in the synthesize of Co-enzyme Q10 as well as in the transport of ions across cell membranes.
There is evidence that a Selenium deficiency may be associated with:
Heart disease
A weakened immune system
An increased risk of cancer
An increased ageing process
Severe gastrointestinal problems
HealthAid have combined Selenium with Vitamins A, C, E and Zinc to help maintain a healthy immune system, to help maintain healthy hair, skin, nails, teeth and gums, and to encourage normal growth. These are all antioxidants in their own right and studies show that Seleniums potential is enhanced in the presence of other antioxidants.
More specifically some of the actions are:
Vitamin A helps scavenge free radicals and can also quench oxygen radicals. One molecule of vitamin A can quench up to a thousand oxygen radicals.
Vitamin C aid the transformation of the radical form of Vitamin E back into the protective form, demonstrating the need for both vitamins. It is also important in collagen formation and iron absorption.
Vitamin E concentrates in cell membranes and attaches itself to lipid peroxy radicals, thus becoming a radical itself and requiring vitamin C to convert back. Vitamin E can also scavenge free radicals before they hit cell membranes. It is also important in cell respiration, reproduction and enhancing vitamin A activity.
Zinc is involved in stabilising membrane structures and in protection at the cellular level by preventing lipid peroxidation and reducing free radical formation. It is also important in cell division, growth and reproduction and the removal of toxic metals.
When should I take Selenium Plus tablets?
Selenium Plus tablets can be taken to help protect the body against free radical damage and the degenerative diseases that it can cause, reducing the risk of heart disease, infertility and help to increase immunity.
