Description: An anti-oxidant formula, Synergistic SELENIUM is yeast-free, using only Selenium bound to rice protein-derived amino acids. Anti-oxidant nutrients are powerful anti-aging factors. They protect cells from oxidative and free radical damage that hastens cell death. By preventing and detoxifying free radicals and peroxides, selenium and other anti-oxidant nutrients protect cells from the relentless destructive effects of these substances. Selenium is particularly important as a component of glutathione peroxidase, a protective anti-oxidant enzyme broadly distributed throughout the body. This enzyme plays a key role in protecting cell membrane lipids from random oxidation.
Selenium is also important in nucleic acid metabolism, immune system physiology and reproductive processes.
Synergistic factors Vitamins C and E aid selenium in preventing tissue oxidation. Each also has a sparing effect on the other nutrients. Synergistic SELENIUM is complexed with rice protein, providing a highly bioavailable and utilizable form of this mineral in a hypoallergenic form.
