Cell protection with selenium ACE Since you already obtain a certain amount of vitamins through your daily diet, which ideally should consist of half raw foods such as salads, fruits, and vegetables, one 100µg ACE selenium capsule per day is sufficient. Aggressive substances are produced in the bodys cells through metabolism. These aggressive substances are called free radicals. The body has protective mechanisms to bind these free radicals and render them harmless. Environmental pollution (radiation, cigarette smoke, chemicals) and increased bodily stress weaken and overwhelm the defenses of these cells. Selenium, mixed natural carotenoids from carotene-containing plants, lycopene (a plant pigment from tomatoes), vitamin E, and vitamin C play a central role in this cellular defense. They are also known as antioxidant substances and support the immune system. These vitamins and natural selenium are often insufficiently present in food when needs are increased, making supplementation necessary. Since German soils contain little selenium, we therefore ingest too little of this trace element. In combination with mixed natural carotenoids, lycopene, vitamin E, and vitamin C, this product offers excellent protection for maintaining the immune system. Because the selenium is biologically bound in an amino acid, its absorption is not impaired by vitamin C.
