Excellent selenium product!

TRUSTED NUTRIENTS takes the guess work out of what foods to buy to support our need for selenium by providing a selenium in the form of selenium yeast. Yes, Brazil nuts have fine amounts of selenium but you can't always find them in stores.Selenium is one of many important dietary minerals, and we require a small amount of selenium in our daily diet. Selenium is incorporated in a small cluster of important proteins, each of which plays a critical role in our health. Scientists named these selenium-containing proteins "selenoproteins." Most food groups provide valuable amounts of selenium. Fish, grass-fed and pasture-raised meats, whole grains, and nuts and seeds are either good, very good, or excellent food sources of selenium. Benefits? 1)Antioxidant protection - Selenium is required for the proper activity of a group of enzymes called glutathione peroxidases. (You'll sometimes see the abbreviation "GPO" or "GPx" for a glutathione peroxidase enzyme.) These enzymes play a key role in the body's detoxification system and they also provide protection against oxidative stress. (Oxidative stress is physiological circumstance in which there is excessive risk of oxygen-related damage to the body.) Of the eight known glutathione peroxidase enzymes, five of them require selenium.In addition to the activity of glutathione peroxidase, selenium-containing enzymes are involved in recycling of vitamin C from its spent form back to its active one, allowing for greater antioxidant protection. 2) Support Normal Thyroid Function - a selenium-containing enzyme is responsible for transforming a less active thyroid hormone called T4 into the more active T3. Selenium and iodine work together to keep thyroid function strong and consistent.So to be sure you are keeping ahead of the need for selenium, depend on these tablets and be safe.
