Have you heard about the importance of Zinc in your diet? About how it is reported that this mineral can help in so many health and mental issues. I’ll bet you did not know that you may have sufficient Zinc, but it is not being absorbed because you do not have enough Selenium. Researchers state you must have Selenium in order to absorb Zinc! They are saying that if you do not have enough Selenium no matter how much Zinc you take it may do little for you.

But not just any Selenium, it needs to be vegetable based not mineral based. The mineral base is reported to be toxic at 400 mcg. The sad fact is that those who are warning about the dangers of Selenium are using the outdated information on the mineral version. Medical researchers report the vegetable version is not only safer, but has been tested up to 1,200 mcg. without any side effects. Few even in the natural health industry realize this important discovery. Often herbal Selenium supplements are not labeled to show if they are mineral or vegetable based. When selecting Selenium look for a vegetable or organic source.
