Extensive scientific
research shows that an
adequate intake of the
antioxidant mineral
selenium and vitamins A,
C and E play a part in
all-round antioxidant
protection against the
damage caused to the body
by excess free radicals
and helps support the
body’s own natural
defences. Key Points and
Benefits - In addition to
the established
antioxidant vitamins and
minerals, Selenium-ACE
with VitaBerry Plus
contains the polyphenols,
anthocyanins, ellagic
acid and other
antioxidants found
naturally in fruit and
vegetables. - Despite the
acknowledged health
benefits to be derived
from fresh fruit and
vegetables most people do
not eat the recommended
five portions per day. -
Convenient one-a-day
formula guaranteed to
deliver the antioxidant
equivalent of two
portions of fruit and
vegetables. -
Antioxidants are more
effective when a wide
variety of fruit and
vegetable derived
compounds are taken
together rather than
individually. What is an
Antioxidant? Antioxidants
help protect cells and
tissues from damage by
Reactive Oxygen Species
(ROS), also known as
‘free radicals’. Free
radicals are volatile,
potentially toxic
substances produced when
we breathe and through
exposure to sunlight,
exhaust fumes, tobacco
smoke and other
pollutants as well as
during infection and
inflammation. Antioxidant
nutrients are able to
quench free radicals
before they can damage
cells or tissues. The
more free radicals
present, the greater the
need for antioxidant
nutrients in our diet.
What is Selenium?
Selenium is an essential
trace mineral that plays
an important role in
human nutrition. It was
not until 1973 that the
importance of selenium in
a nutritional role was
ascertained. Human
studies around the world
continue to show the key
role that it plays in
maintaining long-term
health. Selenium can only
be obtained through
dietary intake. A healthy
diet should form the
basis of good nutrition.
However, leading a busy
life often makes eating
regular, nutritionally
balanced meals difficult.
Selenium can be obtained
from whole-wheat cereals,
kidney, liver,
shellfish, brazil nuts
and oily fish. Over the
past few years an
increasing number of
people have begun to
obtain selenium from a
nutritional supplement.
Recent reports have
revealed that selenium
levels in the average
person in the UK are only
marginally adequate. This
is largely because of a
reduction in the amount
of selenium we get from
our food - mainly due to
a decrease in the use of
North American wheat
(high in selenium) for
bread making. As a
result, in the UK, the
daily intake of selenium
from the food we eat has
declined from 60-63 mcg
per day in the 1970s and
1980s to 29-39 mcg per
day (reports by Ministry
of Agriculture,
Fisheries and Food,
1997, 1999; Barclay et
al 1995). This amount
compares unfavourably
with guidelines, known
as the reference nutrient
intake, of 75 mcg per
day for men and 60 mcg
per day for women (Report
by Committee on Medical
Aspects of Food Policy,
1991). What is VitaBerry
Plus? VitaBerry Plus is a
blend of concentrated
fruit extracts and
whole-fruit powders
containing grapes, grape
seed extract,
bilberries, blueberries,
cranberries, cherries,
raspberries and
strawberries which
provide nutritious,
high-ORAC
antioxidants. What does
ORAC stand for? The
Oxygen Radical Absorbent
Capacity (ORAC) is the
scientific standard for
measuring the antioxidant
potency of foods. Since
most of the active
nutritional components in
fruits and vegetables are
antioxidants, accurate
measurement of
antioxidant activity
serves as a good
indicator of potential
health benefits.

Food State Selenium is
presented to the body
complete with all the
amino acids and other
phyto-nutrients with
which this mineral is
found in food. It is
hence far better absorbed
and used than inorganic
selenium.• It is a
powerful
antioxidant; • It
works synergistically
with vitamin E; • It
assists in keeping blood
vessels healthy, so is
connected to the
circulatory system; •
In males, selenium is
concentrated in the male
testes and seminal glands
and is lost in the
semen; • It is now
known to have a
significant role in both
male and female
fertility.Selenium is an
essential mineral, found
in minute amounts in the
body. It closely
resembles sulphur in its
physical properties.
Selenium functions either
alone or with enzymes.
Selenium is a natural
antioxidant that protects
against free radicals and
appears to preserve
elasticity of tissue,
which becomes less
elastic with ageing. It
is a key nutrient in
immunity. Selenium works
closely with vitamin E in
actions like the
production of antibodies,
the binding of toxic
metals such as mercury,
amino acid metabolism and
the promotion of normal
body growth and
fertility. Selenium
maintains certain
energy-producing cells,
including those of the
heart, by ensuring an
adequate oxygen supply.
Selenium is necessary for
the production of
prostaglandins.
