What is Selenium Used For

What is Selenium Used For? It's a mineral that your body needs but cannot naturally make, classifying this an essential nutrient you must consume regularly. This has made these supplements increasingly common as its importance and benefits gain more awareness.

Benefits

The body uses this mineral for a handful of vital processes including healthy metabolism and thyroid function. It is also a great antioxidant with a host of many benefits

Most of the good effects come from it's powerful antioxidant properties. It works on its own and with enzymes to help prevent cell damage caused by free radicals and oxidation, which are caused by normal bodily functions as well as poor lifestyle choices.

This selenium function also helps reduce the chance of chronic disease caused by oxidative stress and inflammation. It even plays a role in DNA repair, which has caused cancer related studies to be performed.

Deficiency

Although your body only needs selenium in small amounts, many people do not get enough due to poor or alternative diets. Some of these people have turned to the supplement due to its importance in healthy bodily functions.

You can expect some bad side effects without selenium in your daily diet. You'll lose the benefits of having it which would already be bad enough without more side effects.

But studies have shown that when you're lacking correct amounts then you could have depressive moods, anxiety, and confusion.

These are pretty arbitrary side effect in that they are hard to quantify, however they are deadly serious nonetheless. While this deficiency is not the most common, but it should be looked at before seeking harsher treatment.
