Studies show a high intake of selenium helps support a healthy prostate by promoting normal, healthy prostate cell growth.* It also aids in the production of thyroid hormones, which allows for a healthier thyroid and metabolism.* Further studies have shown that selenium provides antioxidant support by helping to protect healthy cells especially red blood cells against free radicals.* It also supports the performance of the powerful antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase (GPX), which destroys damaging peroxide radicals that can cause harm to healthy cells and their DNA
