Selenium is another mineral that you need - but in limited amounts. Vitamin E is necessary as well, although in small doses.
Vitamin E is universally known for its antioxidant capacities, and researchers have been examining development of numerous diseases to determine if vitamin E plays a role in certain aspects of human health.
Unpublished research shows that vitamin E when introduced to various prostate cancer cell lines, strongly inhibits growth and progression. Vitamin E appears to be highly synergistic with the trace mineral selenium. It is recommended by experts in prostate cancer nutrition to include a supplement of vitamin E at a dose between 400 – 800 I.U. Studies have shown that men who consume more dietary vitamin E have a lower risk of developing certain cancers. Since vitamin E is most easily found in fatty foods like nuts and oils, it is difficult to get close to the required dose of 400 – 800 I.U. every day through diet alone.
Selenium is a crucial antioxidant that appears to protect the body from many kinds of problems, including diseases of the prostate, lung and colon.
In countries that have low levels of selenium in the soil (like Canada and parts of the United States), rates of disease are significantly increased. We do not need a lot of selenium in our environment. However, when we're not getting enough selenium, there can be terrible consequences for our health.
It is a strong antioxidant that elevates levels of glutathione peroxidase, a specific component of our endogenous antioxidant defense system, and it is necessary for other protective systems to work properly.
And the form of selenium is vital. If you consume it in a cheap way that isn’t bioavailable, your body cannot use it. Silexin uses only the best ingredients. BioAdvantex Pharma’s philosophy in its founding charter is that people need to be able to get the right ingredients that work best in their bodies and at a dose that is convenient and that makes sense to the scientist and the home budget. And since nutrients don’t generally act like a magic bullet on their own, a broader spectrum of micronutrition support should be used.
