Selenium is a micronutrient/mineral, or what is more commonly referred to as a trace mineral. It is typically found in the soil, and is theoretically absorbed into a plant as it grows, which eventually benefits us as we eat these plants. It’s found in higher amounts in certain areas around the globe than others, but if the soils that vegatables are grown in are depleted, the plant will be depleted. So that means that the amount found in foods can vary greatly. It is for the most part classified as an antioxidant and is equated in its action to vitamin E. Selenium is incorporated into proteins to make what are known as selenoproteins, which are part of antioxidant enzymes.....CONTINUE READING THE ARTICLE FROM THE SOURCE

What is prevalent and more typically found in our ‘modern society’ is what are known as ‘subclinical’ deficiencies. These are diseases where symptoms can be caused by low levels in the blood e.g. digestive disorders, but to date have not been directly linked to the deficit.
