Selenium forte
To improve the selenium supply
Selenium - An important component of the antioxidative network
Selenium is an essential trace element that was discovered in 1818 by the Swedish chemist Berzelius. It was named after the Greek moon goddes, Selene, due to its liver-grey brilliance. The esential trace element is a part of many enzymes and proteins. Thus, selenium plays a role in regulating the thyroid metabolism, helps to maintain normal hair and nails, and contributes to protecting the cells against the activities of aggressive molecules, the so-called free radicals, as part of the antioxidative network.
