Selenium

Selenium uses the purest form of selenium bound to methionine for optimal absorption without adding unnecessary additives or preservatives.

Selenium is an important trace mineral, and as an “essential” nutrient, your body does not produce selenium alone. Therefore, it must come from diet or supplementation. Low levels of selenium can have an adverse impact on the heart, joints, eyes, and the immune, endocrine, and reproductive systems.
