Selenium
Enhance Your Health with Selenium
Description
Selenium is a powerful antioxidant that plays a crucial role in the body’s defense against oxidative stress and supports various bodily functions, including thyroid health, immune response, and cognitive function. It is essential for DNA synthesis, reproduction, and protecting the body from infection. While selenium is found in many foods, factors like soil depletion and certain health conditions can lead to deficiencies. Our Metro Detroit mobile IV therapy services ensure effective selenium supplementation, promoting overall health and vitality.
