ULTIMATE SELENIUM™-90 Capsules
For decades, the importance of selenium was
unclear. Today, selenium is one of the mostdocumented
and widely-studied trace elements
known. Selenium is an essential nutrient to the
human body, which humans require, but cannot
make. These nutrients must be provided in the diet
or in supplement form. Selenium is also considered
to have “anti-oxidant properties” which have been
identified by the National Academy of Sciences as
“a substance in foods that significantly decreases free radicals (e.g.
reactive oxygen) and reactive nitrogen substances (e.g. N-nitroso
compounds)”. Vitamins C and E are examples of other anti-oxidants.
Recently the FDA authorized the following health claims submitted by
American Longevity® and Dr. Wallach.
Selenium may reduce the risk of certain cancers. Some scientific
evidence suggests that consumption of selenium may reduce the risk of
certain forms of cancer. However, the FDA has determined that this
evidence is limited and not conclusive.
“Selenium may produce anticarcinogenic effects in the body. Some
scientific evidence suggests that consumption of selenium may produce
anticarcinogenic effects in the body. However, the FDA has determined
that this evidence is limited and not conclusive.”
