Selenium for the immune system and fertility
Selenium supports the normal function of the immune system and the thyroid, and contributes to protecting cells from oxidative stress, to the maintenance of normal hair and nails, and to 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 as well as the health of hair and nails. It is particularly well known for its role in the thyroid, where it acts as a co-factor in the conversion of the thyroid hormone T4 into its active T3 form. Selenium is essential for life but cannot be produced by the body itself. Therefore it should be obtained through the diet, which requires careful attention to adequate intake... Read more

What are the benefits of selenium?
- contributes to normal sperm production.
- 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 normal functioning of the immune system by promoting the synthesis of proteins that are critical for its efficient operation. It also plays an important role in the structure of enzymes such as thioredoxin and thereby enhances the action of vitamins E and C, which in turn help to strengthen the body's natural defences.
Selenium contributes to normal thyroid function
Selenium is important for the thyroid because it is a component of enzymes in the 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 because the active T3 hormone is the bioactive form in the body and is involved in various metabolic processes, including energy metabolism, the regulation of body temperature and growth.
