Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Selenium plays an essential role in improving your immunity statement. It is an antioxidant, so it acts as an anti-aging agent. It helps to reduce oxidative stress which can increase immunity and prevent inflammation. It can help boost people's immune systems with influenza, TB (tuberculosis), and hepatitis. So I think Selenium will be the right choice, especially for boosting immunity with anti-aging. Omega-3 may help with hair growth and skin health. It can help in controlling blood sugar levels. It helps to improve the immunity system to some extent too. But in case of boosting both immunities with anti-aging, Selenium may be the right choice, or you can take both of them.

Thank you.
