Selenium 100 mcg, 100 tabs

Selenium is a potent antioxidant that protects the body from tissue damage and supports cardiovascular, lung, prostate and colon health. It assists in maintaining a healthy immune system and is important for thyroid function.

The anti-inflammatory properties reduce symptoms of arthritis, lupus, psoriasis and eczema, as well as protect against cataracts and macular degeneration. Selenium may also reduce the incidence and severity of cold sores and shingles.
