Selenium
Selenium is a mineral and naturally occurring trace element in the soil, water, and some foods. Selenium is also an antioxidant and helps protect cells from damage caused by oxidative stress.
Selenium is a powerful and essential mineral that plays a major role in performing several important bodily processes. It is not present in the body but is a vital trace element for healthy thyroid gland function. The body cannot produce Selenium on its own, making its supplementation particularly important for individuals who wish to achieve optimal health.
Selenium and our health
Selenium is critical for many important bodily functions, including metabolism and the immune system. Your body cannot synthesize selenium, so you need to get adequate amounts from your diet and/or supplements. IV infusion is an ideal way of getting selenium and other nutrients because it skips the digestive tract and is directly absorbed in the bloodstream. Some of our treatments already include selenium.

What Is Selenium & What Does It Do?
Selenium is a mineral you commonly absorb through nutrients in a healthy diet. The body cannot produce Selenium on its own, however, making its supplementation particularly important for individuals who wish to achieve optimal health. Most soil in the US is naturally selenium-rich, and, as a result, a serious deficiency is not common in the population. However, if you cannot absorb selenium, it will significantly affect the health of your thyroid. This is why many people with thyroid deficiency choose to take IV Selenium along with their prescribed medicines.
