Is selenium supplement good fr the body?

Caution: As with any vitamin or supplement, it is good to know why you are taking something or why you want to take it. That is the first question-why do you ask? Trace minerals are reasonable and part of most multivitamins, and likely safe.Extra selenium can be toxic, so the dose is important. Note that brazil nuts are a natural source of selenium and you can overdo eating them!

Yes: This mineral has anti-inflammatory properties which slows down aging and protect one from sun-induced skin cancer. The best sources of selenium are nuts, dairy, fish and meat. Brazilian nuts are very popular sources of selenium.
