SelenoPhenol supports antioxidant defence and helps maintain thyroid gland function with a unique combination of selenium and blueberry extract. Selenium is offered in the bioavailable, organic form of selenomethionine, the predominant form found in foods.¹ In the body, selenium is an important component of the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase, which helps decrease oxidative damage to maintain healthy lipids, protein and DNA.² This mineral is also highly concentrated in the thyroid gland, where it helps support normal thyroid function.² Selenium plays a role in thyroid hormone metabolism, while decreasing the oxidative damage produced during this metabolic process.^2,3 For additional antioxidant support, SelenoPhenol includes blueberry fruit extract. Blueberries are known for their high concentration of anthocyanins, which provide effective antioxidant activity and may cross the blood-brain barrier.^4,5 As oxidative stress may increase over time, individuals, particularly the elderly, may experience benefits from increasing their daily antioxidant intake.^4,5
