Selenium for the immune system and fertility
Selenium supports the normal function of the immune system and the thyroid gland and contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress, the maintenance of normal hair and nails and normal sperm production. Selenium is a trace element that occurs in numerous enzymes and thus fulfils various functions in the body. It is a component of antioxidant enzymes, supports the immune system and the health of hair and nails. Its role in the thyroid gland is particularly well known, where it contributes as a co-factor to the conversion of the thyroid hormone T4 into its active T3 form. Selenium is vital, but cannot be produced by the body itself. It should therefore be taken in through food, which requires careful attention to ensuring an adequate supply... Read more

What are the benefits of selenium?
- contributes to normal sperm formation.
- contributes to the maintenance of normal hair.
- contributes to the maintenance of normal nails.
- contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
- contributes to normal thyroid function.
- contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
Selenium contributes to the normal function of the immune system
Selenium supports the body in the normal function of the immune system by promoting the formation of proteins that are crucial for the efficient functioning of our immune system. It also plays an important role in the structure of enzymes such as thioredoxin and thus enhances the effect of vitamins E and C, which in turn are useful for strengthening the body's defences.
Selenium contributes to normal thyroid function
Selenium is important for the thyroid gland as it acts as a component of enzymes in the thyroid gland and plays a decisive role in the conversion of the inactive thyroid hormone T4 (thyroxine) into the active T3 (triiodothyronine). This conversion is of great importance as the active T3 hormone is the form that is bioactive for the body and is involved in various metabolic processes, including energy metabolism, regulation of body temperature and growth.
