I have heard that Selenium boosts your immune system... what is it?


I read somewhere that the mineral Selenium can boost your immune system. What exactly is it, and where do you get it? Is it safe? Thanks!

It is a mineral available in health stores as a supplement in tablet form. It's also available as part of some multivitamin tablets. It is considered safe in the recommended dosages.
