What is Selenium?
Selenium is an essential trace element that plays a crucial role in human body health. It contributes to protection against oxidative stress, supports the immune system, and performs a function in thyroid gland operation.
Why test for Selenium?
Testing selenium levels in the blood can be useful for various reasons. It can help in evaluating nutritional status, identifying deficiencies or surpluses, and contributing to the assessment of certain health conditions related to the thyroid gland, the immune system, and cardiovascular diseases.
What does it indicate?
The selenium concentration in the blood provides information about a person's selenium status. It helps in assessing whether someone consumes sufficient selenium for optimal health.
What does a high Selenium level mean?
A high selenium level can indicate an excess of selenium, which may lead to selenosis. This is a condition that can result in symptoms such as gastrointestinal complaints, hair loss, fatigue, and in severe cases, neurological problems.
What does a low Selenium level mean?
A low selenium level can indicate a deficiency, which may contribute to increased vulnerability to oxidative stress, reduced immune function, and possible thyroid dysfunction.
