Selenium in food

Selenium is an element necessary for the proper course of many physiological processes in the human body. [3] The best food sources of selenium are considered to be offal, seafood, fish, meat, nuts, cereals and Brazil nuts. [4] Selenium consumption levels vary around the world, mainly due to differences in soil content and factors affecting its bioavailability for plants [4]

The effect of selenium on thyroid function

Selenium helps the thyroid gland function properly. [1] The thyroid gland is one of the places in the human body where selenium is found in the largest amounts. [4] Selenium atoms are also found in enzymes – iodothyronine deiodinases. [4]

Healthy hair and nails

Selenium is commonly called the “element of youth”. [5] This is probably due to its antioxidant properties, thanks to which it helps protect cells from oxidative stress. [1,5] The appropriate level of selenium in the human body affects the maintenance of healthy hair and nails. [1]

Selenium and immunity

Selenium is a trace element that has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the immune system. [1]
