Vitamin
E & Selenium |
| Self-Help Supplies |
All of the supplies needed or necessary that
are mentioned in this chapter or in our rehab guidelines and
rehab exercising self-help programs are available in our Bookstore.
Vitamin E with Selenium is primarily used for connective tissue
regeneration. The connective tissues of the body includes
both hard and soft tissues. They include bones, muscles,
tendons, and ligaments. This combination, proven over
the last 10 years on the motocross raci41 circuit has shown
a pronounced healing effect on the injured areas of the body.
This vitamin combination helps the body accelerate the regeneration
of the injured tissue, and at the same time ,improves its quality
of repair.
Vitamin E is fat soluble nutrition and is stored in the liver
and fatty acids in small amounts. Vitamin E and selenium should
be taken together because they are co-dependent (used together)
in the body. They both activate vitamin A. All are very strong
antioxidants that protect the body from the aging, damaging,
and activates and accelerates the body to heal or repair itself
from the effects of chemically active pollutants. Unprotected
fats become rancid when they oxidize, vitamin E combined with
selenium protect against this rancid oxidization. Modern food
preparation removes these two nutrients. Vitamin E decays in
food that is stored for long periods.
Vitamin E blocks iron and therefore should never be taken during
the active parts of the individual's day. If the individual
does take vitamin E during the active parts of his or her day
they will notice a feeling of being more tired than normal with
the iron blockage time period. Vitamin E and selenium are the
most compatible to the body's metabolic machine when taken just
before the individual's resting or sleeping hours.

Functions
Works with vitamin E as an antioxidant of toxic materials and
helps the body utilize oxygen, assists normal body growth, helps
to prevent chromosome breakage in tissue repair and regeneration
as well as birth defects. Believed to prevent many kinds of
cancer, including related reproductive tissues and organs, delays
the oxidation of poly-unsaturated fatty acids from elasticity
of all skin tissues.

Premature aging, skin problems, protein deficiency diseases,
birth defects, scalp problems, emphysema, high blood pressure,
infertility heart function, sexual functions, & menopause

Fat Intake
Special Note
Cortez's "Fountain Of Youth" chemical
Selenium increases the power of vitamin E, which is necessary
for vitamin E to become more effective. The combined vitamin
E and selenium formula is recommended more highly over and should
replace all the previous 400 IU Vitamin E products. Regular
vitamin E products contain d-beta, d-gamma, and d-alpha forms
of vitamin E from vegetable sources in a base of cold-pressed
soybean oil. This cheaper, less active, synthetic "dl"
form is not recommended.
In my opinion, in order to extract and utilize 100% of something's
ability to perform, repair, or heal itself, you must use the
best quality product available. That's why E-Vitamin - 400 IU
w/ Selenium (6O) (2OO) is the best choice. Selenium potentates
Vitamin E.
Caution
Not all manufacturers’ herbs work the same. Some manufacturers
dilute their products so much that the product works slower
or not at all. In raci41 I have learned that only performance
counts. And if I continued using the product it was because
it was performing. So remember, many manufacturers’ products
just don’t work at the levels necessary for the racers.
I personally know that the ones listed here do perform and so
do the riders who use them.
Be your own judge about which works best for you. If you do
not know than call the company or look for these words on the
container:
1. Cold Pressed
2. Cold Processed
3. All Natural
Then it will not perform like those who do.
