In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, where every day seems to be a race, many of us want to find harmony and balance in our lives. In this context, the dietary supplement Vitamin E (d-Alpha Tocopherol) 400 IU & Selenium 50 mcg 100 Softgels from Puritan's Pride deserves special attention. Our formula, as the name suggests, combines vitamin E with selenium. Selenium being a micronutrient - it is essential in small amounts for the proper functioning of the body, but adequate levels play a fundamental role in our daily lives. Our formula offers selenium in the form of selenium yeast, which is an excellent source of organic selenium that is better absorbed by the body than its inorganic forms. The combination of selenium and vitamin E is not without purpose here, as they work synergistically - vitamin E, like selenium, is a powerful antioxidant and also supports selenium absorption.
Why are selenium and vitamin E so valuable?
Adequate levels of these substances are crucial for the proper functioning of the immune system. Selenium supports the production of T and B lymphocytes and macrophages, which are the first line of defence against pathogens, and vitamin E supports their proper function. In addition, selenium is a key component of selenocysteine and selenomethionine, which are essential for the synthesis of enzymes with powerful antioxidant effects, such as glutathione peroxidase. These enzymes neutralise free radicals, protecting cells from oxidative stress and its harmful effects. Vitamin E, which is also a powerful antioxidant, works together with selenium to enhance cell protection. Together, these ingredients play a key role in reducing oxidative damage. An important aspect of selenium is its effect on the thyroid gland, where it supports the production of hormones, including triiodothyronine (FT3), which translates into metabolic regulation and overall wellbeing. Additionally, these ingredients are natural guardians of the heart, helping to regulate LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol), and because they are antioxidants, they protect blood vessels from free radical damage.
