Health Benefits of Selenium Supplementation

Found naturally in rock and soil, Selenium is a trace element that is essential to the human body in small amounts.

When taken as a supplement, Selenium activates an antioxidant called glutathione peroxidase, which has been known to promote good immune system function, and even prevent cancer.

One study suggested that men who consume Selenium on a daily basis are 65% less likely to suffer from prostate cancer.
