Selenium is a micronutrient essential for the proper functioning of the body. Its richest source is Brazil nuts.

Interestingly, the bioavailability of selenium found in plant products is better than that from fish, for example.
The role of selenium in the body
Selenium helps in the proper functioning of the thyroid gland, as it is part of, among other things, iodothyronine deionidases, which are involved in the conversion of thyroid hormones. It also plays an important role in protecting cells from oxidative stress, as it is a component of, among other things, glutathione peroxidase, which is the enzyme responsible for reducing hydrogen peroxide. In addition, selenium contributes to the normal course of spermatogenesis, helps in the proper functioning of the immune system and has a beneficial effect on the condition of hair and nails.
In conclusion, Olimp Selenium is a dietary supplement recommended for supplementing the diet with selenium.
