As a mineral cofactor, Selenium supports the body’s natural antioxidant systems. Selenium is an important trace mineral, and as an "essential" nutrient, your body does not produce selenium on its own. Therefore, it must come from diet or supplementation. Maintaining an optimal selenium level supports normal cell function and thyroid function. Selenium is a great mineral to help preserve a healthier body and support healthy living. Thorne’s Selenium uses the purest form of selenium – bound to methionine for optimal absorption – without adding unnecessary additives or preservatives. Health benefits include: Support for Thyroid Health Selenium supports normal thyroid function in healthy individuals and is important for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland.* It is also necessary for converting the thyroid hormone T4 (thyroxine) to the active T3 form (triiodothyronine). Supporting Healthy Aging Selenium benefits powerful antioxidant functions in your body by supporting the glutathione and superoxide dismutase systems.* Antioxidants like selenium help reduce oxidative damage in the body and brain caused by excess free radicals from environmental toxins, smoking, alcohol use, and stress. Its antioxidant properties support a healthy inflammatory response. Recommended dose (adults): Take 1 capsule daily or as recommended by a health-care practitioner.
