PROPER SELENIUM INTAKE GUARDS AGAINST VIRUSES.


Proper Selenium Intake Guards Against Viruses

Many novel viruses have been found in selenium deficient populations, with experts suggesting that relatively harmless viruses can mutate into deadly versions on passing through a selenium-deficient host. The link between selenium and immune system health is backed up by a growing body of science. Dr. Margaret Rayman of the Centre of Food Safety and Nutrition at Surrey University says, “Taking a selenium supplement may make a difference to a person with low selenium status and may help them deal more quickly and effectively with a viral infection. This could reduce their chances of becoming seriously ill.” (Food Navigator—USA.com, February 2006)
