Selenium is used by the body in producing a potent
antioxidant enzyme, glutathione peroxidase. Studies
show lower rates of cancer, heart disease,
arthritis, cataracts, and even dandruff in populations
which receive 200mcg per day of this mineral.
Research has indicated a role for selenium in protecting
from such chronic diseases such as cystic fibrosis
and muscular dystrophy.
These
tablets contain 150mcg from sodium selenate and 50mcg
