According to the American Diabetes Association there are over 25.8 million children and adults in the United States who suffer from Diabetes, a chronic disease whose complications kill over 400,000 people a year. This number is compounded by the staggering 80 million individuals who are pre-diabetic. Overall more than 1 in 4 people are at risk or are suffering from this often NUTRITIONALLY PREVENTABLE disease!
A study done at the prestigious Harvard University Medical Center analyzed data and found that those individuals who had higher levels of selenium had a 24% reduction in the risk of Diabetes. The researchers took mineral samples from toe nails, a common place to find nutrient deposits, and found that a greater intake of selenium lowered the risk of Type-2 (insulin resistant) Diabetes.
Dr. Joel Wallach, in his book Dead Doctors Don’t Lie, instills the virtues of supplemental selenium due to its various functions in hundreds of chemical reactions and metabolic catalyst for the body’s most vital processes. The mineral is so powerful that it is the only mineral that qualifies for Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved qualified health claim for general cancer reduction incidence.
Another study that was published in BioMed Central’s open access journal Nutrition and Metabolism has shown that men with high plasma levels of selenium had lower risks of dyglycemia. Dysglycemia is an imbalance in the sugar metabolism/energy production mechanisms of the body, an indicator for Diabetes. The research team followed 1,162 healthy French men and women for 9 years and correlated that selenium had protective effects that significantly reduced the occurrence of dyglcemia.
These studies provide further evidence that Selenium is an essential nutrient that the body must have to promote overall health and wellness. Youngevity Ultimate Selenium is a Selenium based supplement containing 100mcg (143% of the RDA) of Selenium along with various other protective antioxidants and Aloe Vera Extract.
