Research Will Taylor from the University of Georgia against AIDS patients, said selenium may help fight the virus and prolong the lives of AIDS patients. Furthermore, selenium is an antioxidant that is essential for the formation of glutathione peroxidase, one of the very important enzyme in the body that neutralize free radicals, especially those that attack the fat molecules.
Research in the PRC showed that heart disease (cardiomyopathy) is endemic can be lowered dramatically with the number of pain Na2SeO3. Blood selenium levels below 45 mg / l, increasing the relative risk of cancer 3.1 times, after a variety of tobacco consumption, serum cholesterol and 4 other factors are taken into account.
