Found naturally in rock and soil,
Selenium
is a trace element that is essential to the human body in small
amounts.
When taken as a supplement, Selenium activates an antioxidant
called glutathione peroxidase, which has been known to promote
good immune system function, and even prevent cancer.
One study suggested that men who consume Selenium on a daily
basis are 65% less likely to suffer from prostate cancer.
