Selenium is an essential trace element for human body. Selenium participates in the synthesis of many selenium-containing enzymes and selenium-containing proteins in human body. Among them, glutathione peroxidase catalyzes the transformation of hydroperoxide or lipid peroxide into water or various alcohols in organisms, eliminating the attack of free radicals on biofilm and protecting biofilm from oxidative damage; Selenium participates in the formation of iodothyronine deiodinase.

"Selenium" is necessary for human body, and it can't be self-made. Therefore, the World Health Organization recommends that 200 μg selenium be supplemented every day, which can effectively prevent the high incidence of many diseases. Dr. Baboia Lola, a world nutritionist and president of the Biochemistry Society, said: "Selenium" is the most important mineral nutrient to prolong life.
Selenium can improve human immunity, promote lymphocyte proliferation and synthesis of antibodies and immunoglobulins. Selenium has obvious inhibitory and protective effects on colon cancer, skin cancer, liver cancer, breast cancer and other cancers, and its intermediate metabolite methyl selenol in the body has strong anticancer activity.
Selenium, vitamin E, allicin, linoleic acid, germanium, zinc and other nutrients have synergistic antioxidant effect and increase antioxidant activity. At the same time, selenium can reduce and alleviate the toxicity of heavy metals.
