Not only is it an antioxidant itself, protecting fats from oxidation; its also involved in the production of the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase, which is used for neutralizing harmful free radicals, viruses and abnormal cells. Selenium is also vital to proper thyroid hormone metabolism, reproduction and DNA synthesis.PLV Selenomethionine provides 200 micrograms per capsule of a superior, more bio-available form of selenium with an absorption rate that is 80 percent better than sodium selenite. Rather than being compounded with potentially allergenic food proteins like yeast, our selenium is chelated (i.e. attached)to a single amino acid. By chelating it to methionine, it becomes the bodys preferred, biologically active form of selenium for immediate use in all its important functions.Conditions that may benefit from selenomethionine supplementation include:Coronary artery diseaseHypothyroidismImmunodeficiency states such as HIV Chronic inflammationHigh exposure to free radicalsLiver diseaseINGREDIENTSPer capsule: Selenium 200mcg
