ProtoHumiX^® – Se

Selenium is necessary for each body system. Its main function is to participate in antioxidant systems and thyroid hormone metabolism.

At the same time, selenium is one of the most deficient elements in the human body. And due to the function of humic acids — transport all the essential substances and trace elements directly into the cell with maximum absorbability — ProtoHumiX^® — SE (humic acid and selenium) solves all the problems listed below.

Immune system. It is involved in protecting the body against cancer cells (primarily lung, prostate, colorectal, uterine and cervical cancers).

It prevents developing cancer among people whose cells produce insufficient amounts of p53 protein: activates the p53 gene responsible for redox reactions and is part of the enzymes that carry out detoxification reactions in cells, neutralising free radicals.

It is also involved in the body’s immunological protection against viruses, and not only influenza viruses, but also diseases such as viral hepatitis, herpes and Ebola fever. Moreover, selenium helps the immune system to keep the HIV virus latent, preventing it from progressing into full-blown AIDS.

Cardiovascular system. It is involved in the active elimination of heavy metals from the body: mercury, manganese, lead and cadmium. It is part of the glutathione peroxidase enzyme, which is involved in the body’s antioxidant system, thus protecting our heart from free radicals.

It is included in the treatment of arrhythmia and reduces the risk of sudden coronary death (ventricular fibrillation).

It reduces oxygen deprivation in heart tissues and decreases the effects of toxic medicines on the heart. Finally, it prevents and even cures Keshan disease (cardiomyopathy).

Locomotor system. Selenium in combination with ProtoHumiX^® Humic acids, vitamin E and other antioxidants alleviates the course of rheumatoid arthritis, as it has anti-inflammatory properties. It is used in the treatment of osteochondrosis, arthrosis, osteodystrophy, as it is involved in enzyme formation of the synovial cartilage of the spine and joints, and contributes to increasing motor activity in the joints.

Thyroid gland. It is actively involved in the formation of thyroid hormone thyroxine. When there is a lack of this hormone, the body gives the «command» to increase the thyroid gland itself, which leads to diseases such as thyroid hyperplasia. Timely administration of iodine and selenium preparations prevents the development of the disease. If the disease has already developed, taking selenium preparations leads to a halt in the disease progression.

Pancreas. It has been proven to stimulate the growth of pancreatic cells and increase the number of Langerhans islets, a group of cells producing insulin. In addition, it improves glucose utilisation by tissues, resulting in a decrease in insulin resistance in type II diabetes. Selenium also improves fructose penetration into tissues (which takes place without insulin involvement), and thus reduces cellular energy starvation.

Gastrointestinal tract. It neutralizes free radicals, under-oxidized products of metabolism. It improves the tropism of the GIT mucosa, contributing to its rapid regeneration. It regulates the pH inside the digestive tube that helps optimize enzymatic processes and normalize intestinal microflora.

Skin. It is beneficial as part of the treatment of neurodermatitis, psoriasis and alphos.
