Product Information

Selenium is a trace mineral that exists in minimal concentrations in the body but can play an essential role in human health. Food sources high in selenium include Brazil nuts, seeds, mushrooms, fish, seafood, beef, and poultry. [1] Selenium presents in an organic form as selenomethionine in plant food and an inorganic form as selenate and selenite in supplements; both the organic and inorganic forms have greater than 90% bioavailability. [2]Selenium absorption occurs mainlywithin the duodenum of the small intestine. The mechanism of absorption depends on the form of selenium. Selenite is absorbed by simple diffusion, whereas selenate would be by a cotransport sodium selenate and exchange selenate/OH− via an active transport sodium pump. [3] Selenium deficiency is very rare in the United States and Canada, and selenium deficiency in isolation rarely causes overt illness [ 6]. The following groups are among those most likely to have inadequate intakes of selenium. People living in selenium-deficient regions Bjelakovic G, Nikolova D, Simonetti RG, Gluud C. Systematic review: primary and secondary prevention of gastrointestinal cancers with antioxidant supplements. Aliment Pharmacol Ther 2008;28:689-703. [ PubMed abstract] One small study found that supplementing with one selenium-rich Brazil nut per day improved verbal fluency and other mental functions in patients with mild cognitive impairment ( 18). The body needs selenium for normal growth and health. Selenium is needed for certain enzymes that help with normal body functions.

[ PubMed abstract] They work by neutralizing excess free radicals and protecting cells from damage caused by oxidative stress. Skin cancer . Selenium supplements may be linked to a risk of skin cancer ( squamous cell carcinoma), so people at high risk of skin cancer shouldn't take these supplements. However, some research suggests that supplementing with selenium may reduce side effects in people undergoing radiation therapy.

Epidemiological studies have suggested an inverse association between selenium status and the risk of colorectal, prostate, lung, bladder, skin, esophageal, and gastric cancers [ 37]. In a Cochrane Review of selenium and cancer prevention studies, compared with the lowest category of selenium intake, the highest intake category had a 31% lower cancer risk and 45% lower cancer mortality risk as well as a 33% lower risk of bladder cancer and, in men, 22% lower risk of prostate cancer [ 37]. The authors found no association between selenium intake and risk of breast cancer. A meta-analysis of 20 epidemiologic studies showed a potential inverse association between toenail, serum, and plasma selenium levels and prostate cancer risk [ 38]. Food supplements are intended to supplement the diet and should not be substituted for a varied diet or healthy lifestyle. Studies have demonstrated that increased blood levels of selenium are associated with enhanced immune response. Institute of Medicine, Food and Nutrition Board.

Effects of selenium supplementation on cardiovascular disease incidence and mortality: secondary analyses in a randomized clinical trial. Am J Epidemiol 2006;163:694-9. [ PubMed abstract]It’s a very powerful – and extremely important – mineral. And, although we only need small amounts, it’s one that many of us are simply not getting enough of, according to data from the latest National Diet and Nutrition Survey. Selenium is found in a wide range of foods, including fish, meat, eggs and Brazil nuts, but it’s thought that reduced levels of the mineral in soil due to recent farming practices have contributed to a lower intake. It wasn’t till the 1950s that selenium was found to be important for health after a German scientist investigated disease in farm animals. Since then, it’s been discovered that the mineral is important for immunity, thyroid function, sperm production, and even healthy hair and nails. It’s also an antioxidant, helping to combat cell damage that can lead to premature ageing and illness. Selenium deficiency, or simply having low levels, can affect these functions. Why is ours better? In both the second trial (41 people over a three-week period) and the third trial (85 people over a three-week period), there was no significant difference between participants allocated 1,200 mg a day vitamin E supplements or participants given 150 mg diclofenac (a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) a day in all aspects of disease severity at the end of the trial.
