Healtheries Chelated Selenium for antioxidant protection, is chelated for superior absorption. Chelated minerals are the most bioavailable (easily absorbed) minerals. They are bound to amino acids (units of protein) by strong covalent bonds similar to those naturally found in foods such as calcium in milk and iron in red meats.
In the process of chelation the mineral is transferred from its inorganic state to an organic state, increasing the absorption of that mineral by between three to ten times.
Helpful for: low immunity; heavy metal contamination; rheumatoid and osteo - arthritis; heart disease, high cholesterol levels; skin health and healing - wounds, dermatitis; muscle health - to improve weakness and deterioration; mental balance and calmness; low thyroid function.
