Sodium Selenite liquid - 2 fl oz (60ml) liquid

Code: 7800

Improve your immune system
Just five drops of Sodium Selenite Liquid supplies approximately 250mcg of the trace mineral selenium. Sodium selenite has been shown to effectively improve immune system response. In a base of water and potassium hydroxide, this is a convenient and economical way to supplement your diet. It is best to take sodium selenite at least 30 minutes before, or two hours after, vitamin C supplementation. About 350 servings per bottle.

Selenium is an essential trace mineral, with a recently set RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowance) of 55mcg. Selenium is known to be essential to activate various key enzymes, such as the antioxidant glutathione peroxidase, the metabolic enzyme thioredoxin reductase, and the thyroid-hormone-activating enzyme iodothyronine deiodinase.

Although selenium is essential for life and health, it is also a potentially toxic mineral. Selenium expert Dr. R. Passwater notes “…organic forms of selenium [such as selenomethionine] are toxic at levels in the vicinity of 3,500 micrograms (3.5 milligrams) daily. Inorganic forms of selenium [such as sodium selenite/selenate] may be toxic at one-third that level.” Passwater notes, however, that many Japanese average 600mcg daily from their diet, and Greenlanders may ingest as much as 1,300 mcg daily, without apparent ill effects.

Selenium: The Anticancer Mineral
A connection between selenium intake and cancer has been known for decades. In 1969 Dr. R. Shamberger reported that his cancer patients averaged selenium blood levels only 60 to 80 percent as high as non-cancer patients. Shamberger and Frost found U.S. breast cancer rates were low in areas where selenium crop levels were high, and high where selenium crop levels were low. Shamberger and Frost also showed soil selenium levels (which dictate food selenium levels) were inversely connected to cancer death rates. Low selenium soil led to 516 deaths per 100,000 people; medium selenium soil led to 450; high selenium soil led to 430; and very high selenium soil correlated with 392 cancer deaths per 100,000.

Selenium vs. Cancer: Toxicity Concerns
The experimental animal cancer studies raised a major concern: the most powerful selenium anticancer effects often occurred at doses not far below the potentially toxic doses. This led researchers to study the biochemistry of selenium’s anticancer action in more detail, in an attempt to surmount the potential toxicity problem.

Selenium: One Mineral, Many Forms
Throughout the 1980s and ’90s researchers discovered that different forms of selenium had different effects in the body. Inorganic forms, such as selenite/selenate, were more effective at fighting cancer than the commonly used organic form, selenomethionine, yet selenomethionine was more effective at increasing selenium tissue levels and glutathione peroxidase activity.
