Why does your body need Selenium?
Scientists have found that low levels of Selenium in the body can lead to heart failure, and it can also make atherosclerosis worse. Atherosclerosis is the hardening of the arteries. This happens when plaque builds up in the arteries and it can lead to a heart attack or stroke. Studies have shown that taking suppliments does not seem to have an effect on heart disease and does not protect against a heart attack. Although Selenium can help to decrease the risk of heart disease too much of it could be detrimental to the body. Too much Selenium in the blood can cause Selenosis. Selenosis can cause hair loss, nausea, nail problems, fatigue, irritability, and mild nerve damage.
A mineral supplement for Selenium would be SelenoMax. It is known to provide positive impact on prostate health and also thyroid function. It produces glutathione peroxidase in order to detoxify the body. It offers convenient supplemental source of stable, well-absorbed, organic selenium, and contains crucial mineral antioxidants that protect cells and tissues from free-radical damage. SelenoMax is not found at the local drug store although there are other supplements for Selenium found at CVS and Walgreens as well. The cost for this daily supplement is $7.95.
