Cytoplan Selenium 100µg 60 Tablets

Selenium is a trace mineral essential for various bodily functions  has powerful antioxidant properties. It protects cells from oxidative damage by neutralizing free radicals and reducing oxidative damage to cells, which supports the repair and regeneration of damaged tissues.

Selenium’s roles include

• Vital for the synthesis and metabolism of thyroid hormones. It helps convert thyroxine (T4) into the more active triiodothyronine (T3), ensuring proper thyroid function.
• Boosting the immune system by promoting the activity and proliferation of immune cells, including T-cells and natural killer cells, and by modulating the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
• Supporting DNA repair mechanisms and helping induce apoptosis in damaged or cancerous cells, preventing the proliferation of potentially harmful cells.
• Reducing inflammation and oxidative stress which are risk factors for cardiovascular disease. It helps prevent the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, reducing the risk of atherosclerosis.
• May help protect against neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, through the reduction of oxidative stress and inflammation in neural tissues.
• Detoxification of heavy metals and other toxins by supporting the function of antioxidant enzymes that neutralize and eliminate harmful substances.
