Source of antioxidants to help protect against oxidative stress
Plays an important role in reproduction and DNA synthesis
Important role in prostate health, helping maintain healthy levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA)
Selenium is a trace element that plays a key role in several functions your body performs daily. The highest concentrations are found in the thyroid gland. Selenium is a component of the enzyme that helps convert T4 to T3, producing the active form of thyroid hormone your body needs.

Selenium also plays an important role in prostate health, helping to maintain healthy levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), which is the marker for prostate cancer. Doctors like to see these levels low. Canadian men are encouraged to have their PSA checked when they reach age forty, the age when prostate cancer screening becomes imperative for most men.

Selenium also plays an important role in reproduction and DNA synthesis – and so much more!

While selenium is a mineral, it also acts as an antioxidant by boosting the antioxidant activity of vitamin E and also helps replenish glutathione peroxidase, the body’s main free radical scavenger. Glutathione peroxidase protects us from oxidative damage that can result from stress, radiation, pollution, and infections. Now that's a busy mineral!

Selenium deficiency is quite rare, so why supplement, you ask? Well, for several reasons. First, some people do actually suffer from selenium deficiency due to poor diet and gastrointestinal issues that impair the absorption of the nutrients your body needs to heal and thrive. Second, many studies tell us that having selenium levels above the RDA (recommended daily allowance) is when it starts to have therapeutic effects, such as lowering PSA for example.

CanPrev’s Selenium Glycinate 200 provides a therapeutic and optimal form of selenium and is superior when it comes to absorption and gentleness. Around the world, healthy thyroids and prostates will stay healthy and function as they should with Selenium Glycinate – the very important, yet little-known, miracle mineral your body will thank you for!
