Selenium is a nutritionally essential trace element for humans and animals. Selenium is necessary for creating certain types of proteins, which include GPX—our cells and plasma’s protection against free radicals. Selenium was also found to be actively involved in making and dismantling the thyroid hormone T3.

Selenium is most often found in seafood and organ meats, and also muscle meats, cereals, grains, and dairy products. Fruits and vegetables tend to be low in selenium, which makes vegans and vegetarians more vulnerable to selenium deficiency.
