About the test
Selenium is crucial for our body, acting as a building block for important proteins called selenoproteins. These proteins, including powerful antioxidants like glutathione peroxidase, protect our cells from damage by removing harmful substances produced by our body. Without selenium, our cells could be damaged, leading to problems with blood clotting and cell membrane integrity by affecting substances that control blood clotting.
Who might consider it:
This test is important for individuals who might be at risk of selenium deficiency or have conditions that could benefit from monitoring selenium levels.
