NG4L SELENIUM (1cap 2x/dr)Researchers in America have found that the use of selenium supplements can suppress the progression of HIV, especially the amount of active virus found in a patient’s blood. In these studies, 200 patients were given 200 micrograms of organic selenium or placebo. After 18 months, blood levels of selenium, viral load and T-cell count were analyzed. The researchers found that the addition of daily selenium supplementation suppressed HIV-1 progression, viral load was improved (decreased) and CD4 count increased. This study showed that selenium is a favorable treatment that can be used as a safe adjunct therapy with ARVs or other therapies (in AIDS) or alone in HIV-positive people at Stage 1-3. It slows the progression of the disease. Anti-cancer.The antiviral properties of selenium mentioned for hepatitis B, its antioncogenic action and particularly its role in the immune system (lymphocyte proliferation, stimulation of natural killer activity) have led some authors to propose its use in the treatment of HIV infection. The decrease in plasma selenium concentration and the decrease in the activity of the selenium-dependent enzyme, glutathione peroxidase, are early. The increase in TNF during the course of the disease is thought to be responsible for the generation of large amounts of free radicals from macrophages, which facilitate the progression of the immune deficiency. The oxidant/antioxidant imbalance is all the more important as the antioxidant systems are altered. There is a strong correlation between selenemia and albumin levels, but no correlation between weight loss or disease duration. These facts are in favor of a mixed origin of selenium deficiency: inadequacy of needs and intakes and overconsumption due to the presence of free radicals.Selenium deficiency leads to general muscle damage in AIDS. Cardiomyopathy (heart muscle disease) is common in the later stages; when detected (by cardiac ultrasound), abnormalities of myocardial contraction are present at an earlier stage. Myocardial biopsies from deceased patients confirm the existence of severely depressed muscle concentration.
