Gall Pharma Selenium 200 µg capsules, 60 ST

Gall Pharma Selenium Capsules are a dietary supplement containing 200 µg of selenium per capsule. This essential trace element supports the immune system, aids in the detoxification of heavy metals and normalises thyroid function.

As selenium is an essential free radical scavenger for our bodies and helps to strengthen the immune system, it can protect us from many diseases. An adequate supply of selenium is therefore essential.

This trace element performs the following functions:

• Antioxidant: Selenium protects cells from free radicals. These are caused by the unavoidable aspects of our modern lifestyle, such as physical and mental stress, an unbalanced diet and negative environmental influences. An adequate intake of selenium protects the body’s cells from attack by these free radicals.
• Detoxification/immune system: Thanks to its ability to bind to heavy metals, selenium forms poorly soluble complexes which can then be excreted by the body. Selenium therefore plays a vital role in the body’s detoxification process. In addition, this trace element contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system.
• Thyroid function: Selenium also helps to regulate thyroid function.

Beef, veal and chicken are considered to be selenium-rich foods. Of course, there are also plant-based sources of selenium, such as whole grains. However, the selenium content of the soil is often low due to increased rainfall.

Too little selenium increases susceptibility to infection and cancer. A selenium deficiency can have various causes. People with an unbalanced diet, vegans (but not vegetarians), those taking diuretics and many others are particularly prone to it. In these cases, a daily selenium supplement is a sensible addition to the diet.

Selenium supplementation may also be beneficial for pregnant and breastfeeding women, older people, smokers and those with a weakened immune system. Selenium supplementation has also proven effective in cases of general weakness, forgetfulness and poor concentration.
