Selenium
is an important mineral in helping to protect yourself from cancer, and also helping to recycle the glutathione in your body. Selenium can be toxic in high doses, so this is not a case of more is better. I generally suggest either one selenium per day, or our general vitamin/antioxidant which already contains sufficient levels of selenium.
