Libytec Selitop Organic Selenium Dietary Supplement 40 Dispersible Tablets

Selenium, an essential trace mineral, plays a vital role in numerous biological functions of the body, such as:

• Reproduction
• Synthesis of thyroid hormones
• DNA synthesis
• Immune efficiency
• Defense against inflammation and oxidative stress

Selenium intake depends on factors like:

• Population differences
• Composition and selenium content of soil
• Type and quantity of food

Rich sources of selenium include:

• Brazilian nuts
• Organ meats
• Poultry
• Fish
• Dairy products
• Bread and cereals

Selenium has antioxidant, immunomodulatory, and anti-inflammatory actions, and is essential for the metabolism of thyroid hormones.

Key selenoproteins:

• Glutathione peroxidase (GPx)
• Iodothyronine deiodinases

The thyroid gland has the highest selenium content. Low selenium levels are associated with an increased incidence of thyroid diseases, such as Graves’ disease and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.

Selenium supplementation in patients with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and in patients with Graves’ disease with mild ophthalmopathy can:

• Reduce inflammatory and immunological reactions
• Improve the echogenicity of the thyroid

During pregnancy, selenium supplementation can:

• Delay disease progression
• Improve the ultrasonographic image of the thyroid
• Reduce the risk of postpartum thyroid dysfunction

In Greece, the average daily intake and serum concentration of selenium are lower than the desired levels.
