Product Details
Selenium activates the antioxidant enzyme Glutathione Peroxidase and provides the body with nerve, muscle and joint support. Selenium is also essential for enhancing the antioxidant effects of Vitamin E. Selenium helps promote a healthy immune system by stimulating the activity of white blood cells, protecting tissue from free radical damage and activating thyroid hormones. Selenium also aids in reproductive health and helps support healthy metabolic function.
Selenium: Toxicity vs. Deficiency
Typically, toxic selenium levels only become a problem if the horse consumes an extremely large amoumt at one time or if the horse has consumed upwards of 20 mg/day for an extended period. In reality, a selenium deficiency is far more likely to occur due to the fact that many parts of the United States have inadequate selenium in the soil. Low selenium intake symptoms inclued poor fertility and myopathy problems. In addition, it causes a predisposition to inflammatory issues and decreased immunity.
