Video | Selenium – The Great Protector and Antioxidant

Selenium is a mineral that acts as a powerful antioxidant and free radical scavenger.  It is a great protector and detoxifier; this is because it is required for the production of glutathione peroxidase, an enzyme necessary for detoxification and protection of the body against free radical damage.

Free radicals are produced in the body from toxic chemicals, excess sugar intake, smoking, pollution and stress. Free radicals are capable of causing damage to the DNA inside cells.  This speeds up the aging process and increases the risk of cancer.
