Synopsis

Selenium is a vital trace mineral involved in antioxidant defense, thyroid hormone metabolism, immune function, and DNA repair. It is a cofactor for glutathione peroxidase—one of the body’s primary antioxidant enzymes—and supports detoxification and cellular protection. Selenium is especially important for thyroid health, fertility, and immune resilience, and may reduce the risk of certain chronic diseases when taken at appropriate levels.
