Now Foods, Selenium, 200 mcg, 90 Veg Capsules | High Potency Antioxidant & Immune Support

Product Overview

Selenium is a powerful trace mineral that plays a fundamental role in your body’s internal defense system. While it can be found in Brazil nuts and seafood, many diets fall short of the optimal levels needed for peak health.

These 90 vegetarian capsules are specifically designed to support long-term wellness by protecting your cells from free radicals and ensuring your thyroid—the “engine” of your metabolism—functions at its best.
