Gall Pharma Selenium 200 µg capsules, 60 ST

Gall Pharma Selenium Capsules are a dietary supplement with 200 µg selenium per capsule. The vital trace element supports the immune system and the detoxification of heavy metals and normalises thyroid function.

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

This trace element fulfils the following functions:

• Antioxidant: Selenium protects the cells from free radicals. These are caused by our modern, unavoidable lifestyle, such as physical and mental stress, an unbalanced diet and negative environmental influences. A sufficient supply of selenium protects the body's cells from attack by these free radicals.
• Detoxification/immune system: Due to its ability to bind heavy metals, poorly soluble selenium complexes are formed which can be excreted from the body in this form. Selenium therefore plays an important role in detoxifying the body. This trace element also contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system.
• Thyroid function: Selenium also normalises thyroid function.

Foods rich in selenium include beef, veal and chicken. Of course, there are also plant-based sources of selenium, such as wholemeal cereals. 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. An unbalanced diet, vegans (but not vegetarians), diuretic patients and many others are more prone to it. A daily intake of selenium supplements the diet in these cases.

Selenium supplements can also be useful for pregnant and breastfeeding women, older people, smokers and people with a weakened immune system. Selenium supplements have also proven effective in cases of general weakness, forgetfulness and poor concentration.
