Selenomethionine
Selenomethionine (organic form of Selenium) is a naturally occurring amino acid. It combines with proteins in the body to form antioxidants called selenoproteins. These compounds help protect against free radicals which can cause damage to cells in your body. The purpose of selenomethionine is to reduce inflammation and strengthen the immune system.
Additionally, supplementation with organic Selenomethionine increases the activity of glutathione peroxidase in healthy adults.
