Now this Selena is so much added to all foods and nutritional supplements, and vitamins, that rather we have selenium redundancy in the human body, rather than insufficiency. It's like with the fluoridation of water in the West, so zafoftiruvali all, hoping to save the teeth of people, then all went with black teeth. So the measure should be in everything.

Undoubtedly, the measure should be in everything and it is better to not take selenium in a pure form, but in combination with vitamins and microelements, where it will be in the right dosages and will not harm.

Selenium has quite well established itself, as a trace element (or vitamin) for our body. The bottom line is always how correctly we take all the necessary medicines at all, and vitamins as well. If we do not adhere to clear instructions of the doctor, then problems can not be avoided.

Is it true that with the help of this drug you can lose weight?

Alla, Selenium - a microelement necessary for the life of the human body. Participates in the metabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, plus participates in the metabolism of thyroid hormones. This, if you will, is a biologically active additive, which is not a medicine and is not used in the treatment of diseases. The absence of selenium in the body can lead to various disorders and diseases (allergic reactions, metabolic disorders, oncology). Studies of this element are still ongoing, many points remain unclear.

Yana, Above already answered that Selenium participates in the exchange of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, so that one has a deficiency of this trace element, it makes sense to add it as an additive or dietary supplements to your diet. Although the direct effect for weight loss, I think it's not worth waiting for.

Selenium is a very toxic substance, so with dosage in no case can not overdo it and take it necessarily in combination with vitamin E. Vitamin E prevents the over-oxidation of selenium in the body. Otherwise, you risk poisoning (the same smell of garlic from the mouth, which is mentioned in the instructions - overdose).

How to determine the lack of Selenium in the body?
Administrators

Varvara, Specific tests or tests to determine the lack or excess of selenium in the body, at the moment does not exist. By itself, this element is toxic to all living things, but in small amounts participates in the metabolic processes of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, promotes immunity, activates the anti-cancer protection of the human body.It will be enough for ordinary people to take selenium as part of complex vitamin preparations that contain micronutrients, in the presence of nonspecific changes in the body that do not have an obvious organic cause.

How can this form of pill release be 300 mg? Are you joking? Selenium is released in μg, not mg. Watch the text ...
Administrators
admin
UglinessIt's the weight of the pills, not the amount of the active substance in them. Now there are officially registered tablets of 200 mg and 540 mg and this is also selenium. And yes, the amount of this microelement necessary for a person is negligible and is measured in μg. Moreover, all selenium-based drugs are additives and are marketed in complex ways.
