Description
Selenium is a powerful antioxidant. Selenium is a key building block of the enzyme glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX), which helps to prevent the oxidation process. Cells which are protected from oxidtion tend to operate more efficiently for longer periods of time, helping us to retain our youth. While Selenium works to prolong cells' natural life span, in times of necessity it also intervenes to promote apoptosis (programmed cell death) in cells that have suffered genetic damage. This reaction takes place to prevent mutations from being transferred to the next generation, so that we may maintain vibrant energy levels thoughout our lives.
Selenium also operates in the middle range of a cell's life cycle, supporting those proteins which help to suppress degenerative disease. Angstrom Selenium is the most powerful form of this mineral available.
