Description
Selenium is a vital trace mineral involved in numerous physiological processes, including thyroid hormone metabolism, glutathione activity, immune regulation, and protection against oxidative stress. In IV therapy, selenium is administered to restore deficient levels, support detoxification, and enhance antioxidant defenses. It is especially valuable for individuals with thyroid dysfunction (e.g., Hashimoto’s, hypothyroidism), autoimmune disorders, chronic fatigue, or toxin exposure. Selenium plays a critical role in the function of glutathione peroxidase—an enzyme that helps neutralize free radicals and protect tissues from cellular damage.
Key Clinical Benefits:
- Enhances antioxidant defense and reduces oxidative stress
- Supports thyroid hormone activation and balance
- Strengthens immune system regulation
- Aids in detoxification and cellular protection
- Useful in autoimmune, thyroid, fatigue, and longevity protocols
