Sodium selenite is an inorganic form of selenium—the trace mineral your body uses to build selenoproteins that power antioxidant defenses and support thyroid and immune function. Think of it as the raw material that helps enzymes like glutathione peroxidase mop up oxidative stress and keeps thyroid hormone machinery running smoothly. Its benefits are clearest when selenium status is low or specific functions (like thyroid autoimmunity or sperm quality) are targeted.

• Support thyroid autoimmunity markers (Hashimoto’s)
• Boost antioxidant enzyme activity and reduce oxidative stress markers
• Improve sperm quality in some men with idiopathic infertility
• Support immune function in selenium‑deficient or HIV‑infected individuals

Sodium copper chlorophyllin is a water‑soluble derivative of the green plant pigment chlorophyll. Think of it as a “green shield” that can bind certain food‑borne toxins in the gut and as a topical antioxidant used in cosmetic formulas. People are most interested in it for targeted liver‑risk reduction in high aflatoxin settings and for skin appearance when applied topically.

• Reduce aflatoxin exposure burden to support liver protection (high‑risk settings)
• Calm acne‑prone skin (topical use)
• Improve appearance of photoaged skin and fine lines (topical use)
• Provide antioxidant support

Sodium ascorbate is a “gentler-on-the-stomach” buffered form of vitamin C. It delivers the same ascorbate your body uses to support immune defenses, collagen building, and antioxidant protection—just with less acidity than plain ascorbic acid. Think of it as vitamin C in a milder, more stomach‑friendly package.

• Shorten duration of common colds
• Support healthy blood pressure
• Support glycemic control (type 2 diabetes)
• Support collagen formation and wound healing
