Cabot Health Selenium Ultra Potent
Our Selenium Ultra Potent capsules contain the therapeutic dose of the vitally important mineral selenium. Selenium is essential for the production of glutathione, the most potent antioxidant in the body, which neutralizes toxins, protects cells from damage, strengthens the immune system, and helps prevent viral replication. We use the organic form, selenomethionine, to improve absorption and utilization by the body.
The Benefits of Selenium
- Immune system regulation: Selenium acts as an antiviral agent and supports the production of selenoproteins, which are crucial for activating and differentiating immune cells. It may aid in managing autoimmune disorders.
- Strengthening detoxification pathways: Selenium is required for glutathione production, essential for phase 2 liver detoxification, helping to convert toxins into water-soluble compounds for excretion.
- Cell protection: Selenium neutralizes free radicals and toxins, assists in DNA repair, and may reduce the risk of neurological diseases and tumour formation.
- Healthy thyroid function: The thyroid gland holds more selenium than any other organ. It is essential for producing thyroid hormones and converting T4 into the more active T3, which regulates metabolism, growth, and body temperature.
- Reducing inflammation: By neutralizing free radicals, selenium helps regulate inflammatory chemicals and immune cell production, reducing systemic inflammation.
- Cardiovascular health: Selenium's role in reducing inflammation, neutralizing free radicals, and improving blood flow may protect the cardiovascular system.

- Individuals with autoimmune diseases

Selenium Deficiency
It is challenging to obtain adequate selenium from the diet due to depleted soil levels, food processing, and poor absorption caused by intestinal inflammation. Chronic viral infections such as HIV, hepatitis, or glandular fever can increase selenium requirements, and diets low in selenium may raise the risk of cancers including stomach, lung, skin, prostate, and colon.
