Selenium is an essential trace mineral and functions in the body as part of the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase, and is critical for healthy thyroid and cardiovascular function. In this yeast-free formulation by Protocol for Life Balance, it is bonded to the essential sulfur amino acid, methionine (in a naturally occurring form, as is found in the diet), to make it highly absorbable.
