Se-Zyme Forte

Selenium is an essential element, classified in a group of proteins called the selenoproteins, which are synthesized through the involvement of sulfurcontaining amino acids and selenium. As a required trace mineral, it is known that selenium plays a significant role in immune function, as a protectant against harmful exposure to heavy metals, in particular mercury, as a co-factor for glutathione peroxidase, and as a synergist to vitamin E. It is also particularly important in males, as a regulator of male hormones and as a supporter of prostate function. As an antioxidant, it plays important roles in both the detoxification of peroxides and free radicals. Lastly, selenium is showing promise in the arena of inhibiting viral replication. The proprietary vegetable culture source of Se-Zyme Forte allows for the superior uptake and bioavailability of Se-Zyme Forte. Each tablet of Se-Zyme Forte supplies 100 mcg of selenium in a true, whole food form from a non-yeast source. It is often advised to take selenium with meals as vitamin E, vitamin C, and likely vitamin A are known to enhance absorption and bioactivity.
