Selenium
An Essential Mineral Antioxidant
Selenium is an essential
mineral, meaning that the body must obtain selenium from food or
supplementation. Selenium's primary role is that of
antioxidant. Selenium works in
conjunction with vitamin E to prevent damage to cell membranes.
Selenium deficiency is
correlated with numerous diseases, and selenium supplementation is
known to benefit a variety of conditions including:
- cancer (all types, but
especially prostate cancer)
- cardiovascular disease
- inflammatory conditions
- cataracts
- viral conditions
- low immunity
Selenium deficiency is
prevalent in the modern American diet due to depletion of selenium in
the soil.
Dose: Daily optimal dose of
selenium is 200mcg, but doses as high as 1,000mcg may be useful for
herpes prevention, immune stimulation and in cancer and heart disease
care under the recommendation of an holistic physician. Higher doses
of selenium are warranted in cases of decreased viral immunity.
