Selenium is used in the CORE™ formula, the foundation of the entire CardioTrim health supplement line.

Selenium is a trace element that is essential in small amounts, but can be toxic in larger amounts. Selenium deficiency has been associated with impaired function of the immune system. Numerous studies suggest that people with low blood levels of serum selenium are at an increased risk for developing heart disease and certain cancers, such as prostate cancer. A considerable amount of basic research also indicates that selenium plays a role in regulating the expression of cell signaling molecules called cytokines, which boosts immunity.

Geographic studies have consistently shown a trend for populations who live in areas with low soil selenium and have relatively low selenium intakes to have higher cancer mortality rates. Dietary sources of selenium include whole grains, nuts (Brazil), and seafood (Tuna and Salmon). Also, eat foods high in Vitamin E since it increases the effectiveness of selenium in the body. Theoretically, optimizing selenoenzyme activity could decrease the risk of cardiovascular diseases by decreasing hardening of cholesterol within arterial walls.

The CardioTrim CORE formula contains these two unique and patent-pending ingredients, Cissus and AlbumaSoy™. The remaining ingredients are a blend of Green Tea Extract, Chromium Polynicotinate, Selenium, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, and Folic Acid.

Soy Labs’ two proprietary herbal extracts and other CORE ingredients are blended to work synergistically for optimum bioavailability and absorption by your body.
