Selenium deficiency

Selenium is one of the essential trace elements in the human body. It is a strong antioxidant. Selenium can be used to regulate the rate of redox reactions in the body, affect the metabolism and activity of certain important enzymes, and regulate the absorption and consumption of vitamins A, C, E, and K in the body. Selenium is also an important component of glutathione peroxidase in the body, which has a protective effect on the structure of cell membranes and promotes the body's immunity.
