Improvement of selenium deficiency

View approved original text

Selenium is an essential trace element for the human body, required for patients with selenium deficiency when nutritional intake alone is insufficient. This medication helps to prevent or improve health issues caused by selenium deficiency. It plays an important role in enhancing immune function and exhibiting antioxidant effects, alleviating deficiency symptoms. Therefore, it helps maintain health through adequate supplementation for those who are low on selenium.

In case of overdose, garlic odor in the mouth and symptoms like fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal pain may occur.
