For them Q10 is not protecting their cells. 67% have a normal GPX1 gene and need normal amounts of selenium. 7% have 2 broken versions of this gene, which can be rescued by a higher selenium intake. o About half of the population misses the genes, that can detoxify chemicals, pesticides, herbicides and heavy metals.
