The greatest concentrations are found in the thyroid gland. Selenium is a component of the enzyme that helps convert T4 to T3,  producing the active form of thyroid hormone that your body needs.Selenium also plays an important role in prostate health,  helping to maintain healthy levels of Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA). Doctors like to see those levels nice and low. Canadian men are encouraged to have their PSA levels checked when they turn forty.Selenium also plays a big role in reproduction and DNA synthesis  and a whole lot more!Although selenium is a mineral,  it acts as an antioxidant as well by enhancing Vitamin Es antioxidant activity and also helps replenish glutathione peroxidase, the bodys main free radical scavenger. Glutathione Peroxidase protects us from oxidative damage that can result from stress, radiation, pollution and infections. Now thats one busy mineral!A selenium deficiency is quite uncommon,  so why supplement you ask? Well,  for a couple of reasons. First,  there are some people who do in fact have a selenium deficiency due to a poor diet and conditions like Crohns disease that impair absorption of the nutrients your body needs to heal and thrive. Second, many studies tell us that having selenium levels above the RDI (recommended daily intake) is when it starts to have therapeutic effects, like lowering PSA for example.CanPrevs Selenium Glycinate 200 provides a therapeutic and optimal form of selenium and is superior when it comes to all-important absorption and gentleness. Thyroids and prostates everywhere will stay healthy and function like they should with selenium glycinate  the all-important but little-known wonder mineral your body will thank you for!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eINGREDIENTS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"ingredients-list\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"title\"\u003eMedicinal Ingredients\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cul class=\"medicinal\"\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"ingredient-name\"\u003eSelenium\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ingredient-amt\"\u003e200 mcg\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"title\"\u003eNon-Medicinal Ingredients\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cul class=\"non-medicinal\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ingredient-name\"\u003eHypromellose\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ingredient-name\"\u003eMagnesium stearate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ingredient-name\"\u003eMicrocrystalline cellulose\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"CANPREV","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37809025220792,"sku":"47408601","price":18.89,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/6213\/3176\/files\/854378001554_b185f7c6-9d1c-402d-b5a8-4cca455359d2.jpg?v=1773456394"},{"product_id":"28924001","title":"NOW Selenium (100 mcg - 100 tabs)","description":"\u003cp\u003eNOW - Selenium -100 mcg -  100 Tablet(s) - NPN: 80003595 -- NOW Selenium is an essential trace mineral and functions as part of the antioxidant enzyme glutathione perioxidase.

This is especially important in protection against the damaging effects of inflammation, which is an underlying process in coronary artery disease and many other health conditions. Selenium is vital to proper thyroid hormone metabolism, reproduction, and DNA synthesis, helping ensure the maintenance of good health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy supplement selenium? Pollution exposure, agricultural practices and even dietary factors can warrant the need for increased selenium intake. Brazil nuts grown in virgin-forest soils are by far the highest food source of selenium, offering more than 5 times the content per serving than other foods that contain the mineral. But with today’s intensive farming practices, trace minerals are no longer found in soils in the quantities they once were. This equates to a food supply that’s generally very low in selenium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePure Lab’s Selenomethionine \u003c\/strong\u003eprovides 200 micrograms per capsule of a superior, more bioavailable form of selenium with an absorption rate of 90 percent (compared to 50% for sodium selenite). Rather than sourced from potentially allergenic food proteins like yeast, our selenium is obtained from mineral deposits and then chelated (attached) to a single amino acid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy chelating selenium to methionine, selenomethionine forms and becomes the body’s preferred, biologically active form of selenium that’s ready for immediate use by the body. The added benefits? Methionine is an essential amino acid, a source of sulfur for our body and functions as an antioxidant itself. Plus, methionine also helps detoxify heavy metals from the body and may help prevent fat deposits in the liver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eINGREDIENTS \u003c\/b\u003ePer capsule:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelenium 200mcg\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PURE LAB VITAMINS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44447768641766,"sku":"47800701","price":15.26,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/6213\/3176\/files\/628055806226.jpg?v=1760211185"}],"url":"https:\/\/vivamagonline.com\/collections\/menu-minerals-selenium.oembed","provider":"MY VIVA STORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
