Selenium (Angstrom), 8 fl. oz., Mother Earth Minerals

None.

Selenium (Se) is an amorphous, crystalline, typically reddish-brown metal. Selenium is an extremely important trace mineral, but in large concentrations can be extremely toxic to cells and tissues. In angstrom-sized suspension, Selenium helps the cell produce Vitamin E, and works in harmony with Vitamin E as a most effective free radical scavenger making it a very important anti-oxidant element. Scientists in Brussels found that taking 100 mcgs. of selenium daily improved overall immune system functions by a whopping 80%. They found that the body uses selenium to produce a substance called glutifying peroxidaze - an enzyme used by the body to detoxify fats, thereby increasing immunity. Selenium deficiency may be linked to the following conditions: anemia, age spots, liver spots, fatigue, muscular weakness, muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis, multiple sclerosis, irregular heartbeat, cirrhosis of the liver, Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS), Parkinson's Disease, infertility, low birth weight, high infant mortality, and SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). Links have also been shown to cancer, AIDS, HIV, and Sickle Cell Anemia.

The biggest problem we face with getting enough selenium is that there is very little selenium in North American soils; therefore, we need to supplement with angstrom-size selenium.

Deficiency of selenium contributes to aging, high blood pressure, and infertility. A selenium deficiency has been associated with anemia, age spots, liver spots, fatigue, muscle weakness, cystic fibrosis, irregular heartbeat, Parkinson’s, high infant mortality, and SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome).

Excess selenium can cause hair loss, dermatitis, and muscle weakness.
