>a
>>>powerful antioxidant with a central role in the protection of tissues

>>>Side effects: Side effects at low doses are rare but may include vomiting
>>>and diarrhea.

>>>Possible risks: Selenium is highly toxic at concentrations of 1 milligram
>>>or more. Clinical symptoms include severe irritations of the respiratory
