Selenium is a trace mineral, which means we need very little of it to create a metabolic impact on the body. 3 brazil nuts per day contains around 200mcg of Selenium which is enough. Though, if you have gut issues you may want to take a supplement to help absorption.
Selenium helps produce the body's most powerful antioxidant known Superoxidase Dismutase, even the name of this antioxidant is pretty impressive!!
Have a read as to why our food maybe deficient in selenium and why we needs so much selenium to prevent inflammation and fight toxins.
