The Benefits of Selenium

Selenium is a mineral used by the body to make selenoproteins, the antioxidant properties of which help prevent the damage caused by free radicals. Studies have also indicated that they may play a role in overall immune system function and general health. Selenium deficiency occurs in populations who live in areas in which the soil is low in selenium, and also can be the result of disease, including some gastrointestinal disorders. CNCA's selenium supplement can help combat the effects of a selenium deficiency, and can also help promote overall good health.

CNCA ensures the optimal potency and maximum purity of our supplements by testing all raw materials for harmful chemicals, metals, and impurities. Our quality standards are so high that they even surpass those of the US government, resulting in a product that you can trust.

Selenium - General Information

Since selenium is found naturally, in varying amounts, in soil, the mineral can be found in many plant foods. Brazil nuts, for example, are extremely rich in selenium, as are some whole grains and cereals. It can also be found in some meats and seafood and in trace amounts in drinking water. The organic, and generally considered to be the most easily absorbed form of selenium, is selenomethionine. Our selenium supplements are high in selenomethionine, the same type found in staples such as corn, whole wheat, and soybeans.

Selenium Supplement - Rare Side Effects

While selenium toxicity is extremely rare in the United States, blood levels that are too high can result in a condition known as selenosis, the results of which can be gastrointestinal problems, hair loss, fatigue, and irritability. Please consult your doctor before you include a selenium supplement, or any other supplement, as part of your daily regimen.
