After the positive properties of selenium were discovered, its ability to prevent aging and the development of cardiovascular diseases, this trace element began to be included in many vitamin complexes. Separate preparations containing only selenium are also produced. Scientists have found that the lack of this trace element not only reduces performance, but also increases the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. The most popular complex to make up for its shortage has recently become "Selenium Forte", manufactured by the company "Evalar".
What is useful selenium
Scientists have found that this trace element is part of special protein molecules involved in many biochemical processes of the body. Selenium performs the following functions:
- reduces intoxication of the body, removes toxins and harmful metabolic products;
- protects cells from free radicals;
- participates in the synthesis of certain hormones and nucleic acids;
- supports immunity;
- does not allow diseases of the thyroid gland, lungs, bladder and intestines;
- supports the work of the heart and blood vessels;
- slows down the aging process;
- stabilizes pressure;
- regulates cholesterol.
But the main thing is the antioxidant properties of selenium. Its ability to protect cells from free radicals can prolong a person’s youth.
Types of drugs with selenium
Various vitamin preparations may contain this trace element in organic or inorganic form. It is believed that selenium compounds with organic molecules and amino acids are safer for the body and better absorbed. A poor-quality vitamin (BAA) containing inorganic salts of selenium can cause poisoning. This trace element is often part of vitamin-mineral complexes.
The most popular today are drugs from the company "Evalar". Using modern unique technologies allows producing vitamin (BAA) with Se, which is safe for health and significantly improves well-being. In addition to preparations containing simply selenium, products are released where its properties are enhanced by a combination with vitamins E or C. Additionally, such products may include yeast, grape seed extract, lecithin, fish oil and other healthy components.
