History and Usage: Selenium has a variety of functions but its main role is as an antioxidant. It is part of a nutritional antioxidant system that protects cell membranes and intracellular structural membranes from lipid peroxidation. This protection of the tissues and cell membranes may benefit the cardiovascular system and protect against cancer. We need adequate daily amounts of selenium for the maintenance of these antioxidant functions and for selenium's other cellular functions as well. Selenium may also have anti-carcinogenic effects. The exact mechanism of action remains unknown. The most likely reason is related to its antioxidant action. However, some evidence suggests that selenium may decrease cell division or help cell repair.
