Selenium | Glossary

Selenium is a trace mineral involved in antioxidant activity and cellular protection. It works closely with Vitamin E to help support normal immune and metabolic function. Selenium naturally occurs in meats, organs, seafood, and certain whole-food ingredients, depending on soil and environmental conditions. 

Because it participates in antioxidant processes, selenium helps the body manage normal oxidative stress generated through metabolism. Like other trace minerals, selenium functions best when balanced with complementary nutrients. Small amounts contribute to important biological activity throughout the body.
