Bio-Selenium + Zinc tablets from Pharma Nord are based on extensive antioxidant research. Selenium works synergistically with vitamins B6, C, and E, as well as with the mineral zinc, in contributing to the protection of body cells from oxidative stress.
The antioxidants in this unique complex that have been on the market for more than 40 years, supports, protects and complements each other, and their co-operative actions and high quality makes Bio-Selenium+Zinc the ideal antioxidant complex. Bio-Selenium+Zinc may also be used as an alternative to multi-vitamin preparations containing beta-carotene, which smokers may wish to avoid.
Nutrients that help the body resist the action of free radicals are called antioxidants. Selenium is one of the most important antioxidants, and it works with vitamins B6, C, and E and the mineral zinc in defence of the body’s immune system. Together they comprise the antioxidant complex. Members of the antioxidant complex do not work independently of each other, but rather as a team, supporting each other in combating free fŕadicals. To obtain this effect, it is important that the reciprocal balance between the various antioxidants is correct. Their conbination in Bio-Selenium+Zinc reflects the findings of research, each tablet containing the correct balance of antioxidants.
You can add vitamin A to this combination. However, by omitting this vitamin from Bio-Selenium + Zinc, the preparation can be taken with other Vitamin A-containing preparations without the content of vitamin A becoming too high.
Selenium is a micronutrient vital for many processes in the body. This includes maintaining a healthy immune system and plays an important role in normal thyroid hormone metabolism. Selenium also helps maintain male fertility, by promoting sperm motility.
Selenium is an essential component of the key antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase which works with other antioxidants (see below) to protect the cells of the body.
The selenium content in European soil may vary from country to country. Most soils in the UK and Europe are deficient in selenium, which translates in low-selenium of farmed food and eventually, low selenium status of populations who consume local food.
A well-balanced diet with selenium is needed for supporting the selenium-dependent proteins involved in normal immune function, a well-functioning thyroid gland, and other important selenium-dependent functions.
Bio-Selenium and Zinc contains SelenoPrecise, the patented, organic selenium yeast with excellent high bio-availability (88.7% absorption) and safety records.
Selenium helps to protect the body from the toxic effects of heavy metals such as mercury from amalgam fillings. Amalgam fillings release mercury vapour which is absorbed into the bloodstream with potentially harmful effects. Selenium binds to heavy metals rendering them harmless.
Zinc helps to protect the body against the toxic metal cadmium, presumably by influencing the absorption and accumulation of cadmium.
