Selenium – a central component in the antioxidant system
Selenium is a vital trace element that was discovered in 1818 by the Swedish chemist Berzelius. Because of its silvery sheen, it was named after the Greek moon goddess Selene. Selenium is contained in many enzymes and proteins and plays a crucial role in regulating thyroid metabolism. It also helps maintain healthy hair and nails and, as part of the antioxidant system, supports the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
Biogena Selenit 200 supplies the body with 200 µg of selenium in the form of sodium selenite, thus supporting daily selenium intake. This essential trace element plays an important role in protecting cells from oxidative stress. Selenium is also essential for the normal functioning of the immune system and the thyroid gland.
The physiological role of selenium:
- Selenium helps protect cells from oxidative stress.
