Studies show that adequate levels of the trace mineral selenium, a mineral which is essential to normal bodily functioning in small quantities, is a common denominator among some of the world’s longest-living people. Selenium also supports heart health, brain health. The Super Selenium Complex formula provides the body with three unique forms of selenium together with vitamin E for health and longevity support.
Selenium comes in many different forms. Each form of selenium acts differently to support healthy cell division. Super Selenium Complex delivers sodium selenite, L-selenomethionine, and selenium-methyl L-selenocysteine. Furthermore, it also contains a small amount of vitamin E because it has been shown to work synergistically with selenium [1].
Another benefit of selenium is that it is an important factor when it comes to its ability to fight one of the primary causes of premature aging: oxidative damage. Selenium is used to form the antioxidant glutathione peroxidase, which the body produces itself [2].
The Science Behind the Product:
Selenium plays an important role to fight oxidative damage which can contribute to premature aging. This is because our body can help utilize selenium to make glutathione peroxidase known as antioxidant enzyme [2]. Selenium can also support normal thyroid and immune function in healthy people [2]. Other benefits of selenium include that it can support healthy cell division, promote healthy inflammatory responses, promote longevity, and scavenge free radicals.
