In this podcast, we’re going to talk about the health benefits of selenium.

What is selenium?

Selenium is a trace mineral that has extremely powerful antioxidant properties. It’s a co-factor enzyme, which means it’s involved in a lot of different enzymes as a helper mineral. Its main job as an antioxidant is to help protect against oxidative damage. Selenium may be beneficial for chronic health problems and conditions where there is inflammation.

Selenium benefits:

1. Helps make glutathione

2. Oxidative stress reduction

3. Required for the conversion of T4-T3

4. Reduced complications of certain diseases

5. Anticancer

6. Antitumor

7. It may be beneficial for those with alcohol-related liver disease

8. It may be beneficial for those with arsenic poisoning

9. It may be beneficial for those with autoimmune conditions

10. It may be beneficial for those with BPH

11. It may be beneficial for those with diabetes

12. It may help detox mercury

The RDAs for selenium are 55mcg. But, the therapeutic dosage you may want to consider taking if you have any of the above conditions would be 200mcg. Selenium can have toxic effects if you take too much.

Selenomethionine may be the most beneficial to take. Brazil nuts are one of the most selenium-rich foods. But, they are also very high in phytic acid. Phytic acid actually blocks selenium. If you want to consume Brazil nuts, be sure to soak them overnight and dry them out first to get rid of the phytic acid.
