Selenium and Zinc supplements from Pharma Nord are based on the latest antioxidant research. Selenium works synergistically with vitamins B6, C, and E, as well as with the mineral zinc, in contributing to the protection of body cells from oxidative stress.
The selenium content in European soil may vary from country to country. A well-balanced diet with selenium is needed for supporting the selenium-dependent proteins involved in normal immunefunction, a well-functioning thyroid gland, and other important selenium-dependent functions.
Bio-Selenium and Zinc contains SelenoPrecise, the patented, organic selenium yeast with excellent high bio-availability (88.7% absorption) and safety records.

Selenium is an essential trace element (mineral) of fundamental importance to human health
Selenium is a micronutrient vital for many processes in the body. This includes maintaining a healthy immune system and plays an important role in normal thryoid hormone metabolism. Selenium also helps maintain male fertility, by promoting sperm motility.
Most soils in the UK and Europe are deficient in selenium, which translates in low-selenium of farmed food and eventually, low selenium status of populations who consume local food.
Selenium is an essential component of the key antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase which works with other antioxidants (see below) to protect the cells of the body.
