Selenium Benefits at a Glance:
Selenium is an antioxidant and a component of selenoproteins, which are enzymes that protect brain and nerve cells from oxidative damage. One of its most important roles is optimizing thyroid function by helping convert T4 to T3. This is essential for metabolism, energy production and regulating your stress response.
Selenium is also critical for brain function, which means it may help reduce common symptoms experienced with on-going stress, such as low mood, irritability, memory loss and brain fog.
As an antioxidant, selenium also plays a role in detoxification and works synergistically with vitamin E and iodine to optimize hormonal balance.
