Selenium for hair. Instructions for use and reviews

Selenium is an important trace element that is needed for the normal functioning of the body. It is a powerful antioxidant and has anti-aging and protective properties. Selenium is found in all tissues of the body, except for adipose tissue.

Scientists from the United States have conducted research and confirmed that selenium has anti-cancer properties. An experiment was conducted, as a result of which the researchers concluded that cancer deaths in people who took selenium decreased by 49% compared with those who did not take drugs containing this element.

For many years, selenium was considered a poison, scientists say that it is indeed a poison if taken in large doses. And in acceptable doses, it normalizes the functions of all organs and systems, maintaining the health and beauty of our body.

What is selenium for the body?

• Contributes to the neutralization and removal from the body of harmful and foreign substances, heavy metals (lead, mercury, cadmium).
• Helps neutralize free radicals.

How does selenium affect hair condition?

If the body lacks selenium, hair looks dry, dull and may fall out. Selenium is directly involved in the process of hair growth, so if hair does not grow well, it is worth considering whether your body is getting enough of such an important element as selenium.

Selenium-rich foods

Selenium is found in both animal and plant foods.

• rice, barley grits, lentils

Selenium Active, instructions and rules of admission

Unfortunately, we do not always get this important element with food, so sometimes it is worth taking special preparations that contain selenium.

Daily intake of selenium  20-100 mcg. In some cases, doctors recommend using 200 mcg of this substance per day to protect against free radicals.

Remember! Do not abuse selenium, if its dose is exceeded, intoxication may occur, so strictly adhere to the doctor's recommendations and instructions.

Selenium preparations have the ability to accumulate in the body and maintain the required level of selenium for a long time.

Selenium Active contains organically bound selenium in the composition of yeast autolysate (selexene) in a strictly metered concentration. This autolysate lacks the typical yeast allergenic properties.
Selenium in organic form (selexene), which is part of this complex, is completely absorbed by the body and is absolutely safe.

Depending on the body's needs, Selenium-active works either as a source of selenium or as an independent antioxidant. If there is a lack of selenium in the body, then selenium begins to be released from biomolecules, activating antioxidant enzymes in the body. When there is no shortage of selenium, the biomolecules in the Selenium asset act independently.
