What is Selenium?

Selenium is a micronutrient vital for many processes in the body. This includes maintaining a healthy immune system and plays an important role in normal thryoid hormone metabolism. Selenium also helps maintain male fertility, by promoting sperm motility.

Most soils in the UK and Europe are deficient in selenium, which translates in low-selenium of farmed food and eventually, low selenium status of populations who consume local food.

Selenium is an essential component of the key antioxidant enzyme which works with other antioxidants to protect the cells of the body.

Selenium and Zinc supplements from Pharma Nord are based on the latest antioxidant research. Selenium works synergistically with vitamins B6, C, and E, as well as with the mineral zinc, in contributing to the protection of body cells from oxidative stress.

Bio-Selenium and Zinc contains SelenoPrecise, the patented, organic selenium yeast with excellent high bio-availability (88.7% absorption) and safety records.

What are antioxidants?

Our zinc and selenium supplements also contain vitamins C and E. These are important, synergystic micronutrients that contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. This 'antioxidant' property results in increased protection of cell damage from free radicals, which are particles that smoking and pollution may generate.

How does selenium help oral health?

Selenium helps to protect the body from the toxic effects of heavy metals such as mercury from amalgam fillings. Amalgam fillings release mercury vapour which is absorbed into the bloodstream with potentially harmful effects. Selenium binds to heavy metals rendering them harmless.
