Hello,

My wife is using selenium, and taking selenium supplements. I also know little about it.
It is a trace mineral that is essential to good health but required only in small amounts, Selenium is incorporated into proteins to make selenoproteins, which are important antioxidant enzymes. The antioxidant properties of selenoproteins help prevent cellular damage from free radicals. Free radicals are natural by-products of oxygen metabolism that may contribute to the development of chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease. Other selenoproteins help regulate thyroid function and play a role in the immune system.
Dietary intake in these areas is less than 19 micrograms per day for men and less than 13 micrograms per day for women,


Thanks!!
