A
mineral found in rocks and soil, often used in electronics and other industries.
It is also a mineral the body needs in small
amounts. Selenium is an important antioxidant trace mineral
that helps protect tissues from attack by damaging free radicals and supporting
the immune system.
Selenium is a trace mineral that is essential to good health but required only
in small amounts. Selenium is incorporated into proteins to make selenoproteins,
which are important antioxidant enzymes.
The antioxidant properties of selenoproteins help
prevent cellular damage from free radicals. Plant foods are the major dietary
sources of selenium in most countries throughout the world. The content of
selenium in food depends on the selenium content of the soil where plants are
grown or animals are raised.
For example, researchers know that soils in the high
plains of northern Nebraska and the Dakotas have very high levels of selenium.
People living in those regions generally have the highest selenium intakes.
Soils in some parts of China and Russia have very low amounts of selenium.
