Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied diet. A varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are important. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Keep out of reach of children.
Selenium is an essential micronutrient that the body cannot produce itself, so it must be obtained through the diet. Selenium intake can vary depending on individual dietary habits, and some people may consume different amounts based on their lifestyle and food choices. Selenium is important for several physiological functions: it contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system, normal thyroid function, normal spermatogenesis, and the maintenance of normal hair and nails. It also helps protect cells from oxidative stress.
WHAT MAKES SELENIUM SPECIAL?
Everyday stress, fast-paced living, unbalanced nutrition, oxidative stress, and environmental factors can all affect the body’s micronutrient balance. Selenium plays an important role in protecting immune cells and supporting their normal activity and contributes to maintaining healthy, strong hair and nails.
Selenium plays an important role in:
Immune System Support
Selenium contributes to the normal function of the immune system. Its importance increases during colder seasons, periods of ongoing stress, or insufficient nutrition.
Thyroid Function
This micronutrient is involved in processes related to thyroid hormone regulation. The thyroid gland is particularly sensitive to oxidative stress, and selenium contributes to maintaining its normal physiological functions.
Hair and Nail Health
Selenium contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and nails, making it beneficial for individuals who experience stress, follow an unbalanced diet, face seasonal hair changes, or wish to support nail strength.
Male Reproductive Function
Selenium contributes to normal spermatogenesis, making it particularly important for men who want to support their reproductive health.
Protection Against Oxidative Stress
Selenium helps protect cells from oxidative stress, which is relevant for anyone experiencing intense physical activity, stress, environmental pollution, unbalanced nutrition, or increased free radical exposure.
