Selenium is an essential trace mineral for the human immune defense system. It forms part of an enzyme that protects cells against the injurous effects (oxidative damage) caused by free radicals. Epidemiologic research programmes have shown that low levels of selenium in the diet contribute to an increased occurrence of cancer and heart disorders.

It is recognised that soils in many areas of the world, including the UK, are deficient in selenium. This deficiency is manifest upwards through the food chain culminating in man. Government estimates place the average selenium intake for the UK population to be approximately 50% of their own recommended daily intake figure.

The beneficial effects of selenium are increased by combining L-seleno-methionine with the antioxidant vitamins A, B6, C and E, and the mineral zinc. This combination forms the basis for Pharma Nord's Bio-Selenium + Zinc. Lifestyle recommends Pharma Nord's Bio-Selenium + Zinc for boosting your immune system, enabling you to avoid persistant common infections like a cold or the flu!
