CANCER PREVENTION Selenium activates an antioxidant enzyme called glutathione peroxidase, which may help protect the body from a variety of cancers, including prostrate cancer. Yeast-derived forms of selenium have induced apoptosis (programmed cell death) in cancer cells in test tubes and in animals. A double-blind trial that included over 1,300 people found those given 200 mcg of yeast-based selenium per day for 4.5 years had a 50% drop in the cancer death rate compared with the placebo group. Another study found that men consuming the most dietary selenium (assessed indirectly by measuring toenail selenium levels) developed 65% fewer cases of advanced prostate cancer than did men with the lowest levels of selenium intake. IMMUNE FUNCTION Selenium is also essential for healthy immune functioning. Selenium supplementation has reduced the incidence of viral hepatitis in selenium-deficient populations, presumably by enhancing immune function. Even in a non-deficient population of elderly people, selenium supplementation has been found to stimulate the activity of white blood cells—primary components of the immune system. WEIGHT CONTROL Selenium is also needed to activate thyroid hormones. Thyroid stimulation leads to increased metabolic activity and energy production. This can enable better, faster weight loss.
