Description

Selenomethionine is the natural form of selenium, which is found in a wide variety of nutrient rich foods. It is also an antioxidant, which alleviates stress from the body’s nervous system. Selenium benefits your body on a cellular level in several ways, including aiding in DNA repair and the removal of unwanted drug metabolites.
    Elevates Cellular Function
    Selenium helps “kick start” your body’s GPX engine, which is the enzyme system responsible for removing excess drug metabolites from long-term antidepressant use. Removing drug metabolites helps to reduce oxidative stress and the formation of free radicals, which can damage cell tissue and DNA.
