Selenium

With benefits for immune health and cellular protection, selenium supports the body’s natural defences against pathogens, illness and infection.

The maternal immune system can be more vulnerable to external threats and attacks, which makes natural antioxidants such as selenium an important part of prenatal nutrition.

Selenium also plays a key role in thyroid function, which is responsible for supplying the foetus with much-needed hormones that support healthy brain development.
