What does it do?

Selenium is a trace element necessary for the human body and is used as a component of antioxidant enzymes. In pharmaceuticals, it is primarily used as a vitamin and mineral supplement to prevent or replenish selenium deficiency in the body.

Selenium acts as a component of the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase in the body, removing reactive oxygen species that can damage cells. This helps reduce cell damage and maintain bodily functions.
