Doppelherz Selen 100

With increased selenium demand An optimal supply of vitamins and trace elements is an important prerequisite for the well-being and performance of our body. This also includes an adequate supply of selenium trace element. Selenium helps protect cells from oxidative stress and contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system. The human body cannot produce selenium on its own. Selenium should be taken regularly and adequately through food. However, food intake is not always optimal if the diet is unbalanced. The trace element binds to proteins in food, so protein-rich foods like meat, fish and chicken eggs are rich sources of selenium. But lentils, asparagus and nuts also contain selenium. Cereal products made from white flour are usually quite low in selenium, as the outer layers of nutrient-rich cereals are often removed. Since soils in Germany are often selenium-poor, plant-based foods often contribute only a small amount to selenium intake here in Germany. Since selenium is a sensitive trace element, a balanced diet should be provided.
