What is Selenium?
Selenium is a trace mineral that is essential for the human body. It participates in the structure of glutathione peroxidase enzymes, one of the important components of the cellular antioxidant system. It is also involved in vital processes such as immune response, regulation of thyroid hormones, DNA synthesis and cellular repair.
In some scientific publications, it has been reported that in selenium deficiency, conditions such as weakening of the immune system, increased oxidative stress and impaired thyroid function may be observed.
Selenium in Serum Applications
Selenium can be considered as a supporting ingredient in some serum administration protocols. When administered intravenously, absorption variability caused by the digestive system is eliminated and it can reach a more direct effect potential at the cellular level. In this respect, it may provide an advantage in terms of bioavailability.
For whom can it be evaluated?
Selenium-containing serum applications can only be planned after medical evaluation. It may be considered as a supportive approach in the following situations:
– Individuals with the possibility of antioxidant support in oxidative stress-related processes
– Individuals evaluating approaches to support the immune system
– Individuals who want to support their thyroid function
– In the assessment of conditions such as heavy metal exposure
– In individuals whose diet is deficient in selenium
