Product Information

Selenium intakes and serum concentrations in the United States and Canada vary somewhat by region because of differences in the amounts of selenium in soil and in local foods consumed [ 6, 20]. For example, concentrations are higher in residents of the Midwestern and Western United States than in the South and Northeast [ 19, 20]. The extensive transport of food typically allows people living in low-selenium areas to obtain sufficient amounts of selenium [ 6]. Selenium Deficiency Oxidative stress has been linked to chronic conditions like heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and cancer, as well as premature aging and the risk of stroke ( 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). The FNB has established ULs for selenium from food and supplements based on the amounts of selenium that are associated with hair and nail brittleness and loss (see Table 3) [ 6].

Among healthy people in the U.S., selenium deficiencies are rare. But some health conditions – such as HIV or Crohn's disease – put you at higher risk for low selenium levels. People who are fed through an IV are also at risk for selenium deficiency. Because most rice is gluten-free, it can be a good option for people with wheat allergies or celiac disease. One cup of cooked white rice contains 9 micrograms of selenium. But you can get about 15 micrograms from a cup of brown rice varieties. In excessive doses, selenium is toxic, but it is an essential micronutrient in humans. Selenium supplementation is indicated to replete stores in cases of selenium deficiency. However, this is usually secondary to the localized diet versus an individual problem with the patient. Therefore, a common way to reduce selenium deficiency is via biofortification at the agricultural level. [1]A therapeutic option is to add selenium-enriched foods into the diet on an individualized level. [1]Vitamins A, C and E are essential nutrients which have antioxidant activity. Laboratory and animal studies have found some scientific basis for their use, but current evidence from studies on humans suggests that antioxidant vitamins aren’t effective in treating rheumatoid arthritis. Evidence from trials of the effectiveness of vitamin E in treating osteoarthritis provided mixed results. Results for early trials into the use of vitamin C in treating osteoarthritis are encouraging, but they need confirmation by larger trials.

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. For monitoring of therapy the selenium concentration in whole blood or serum should be determined. In long term parenteral nutrition, control of blood levels should be performed at 6-12 months intervals, except if clinical symptoms of a deficiency are suspected. Randomized, controlled trials of selenium supplementation in patients with thyroid disease have had varied results. In one randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 100, 200, or 300 mcg/day selenium for 6 months in 368 healthy adults age 60 to 74 years had no effect on thyroid function, even though plasma selenium levels increased significantly [ 62]. Another randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial compared the effects of 200 mcg/day selenium (as sodium selenite), 1,200 mg/day pentoxifylline (an antiinflammatory agent), or placebo for 6 months in 159 patients with mild Graves’ orbitopathy [ 63]. Compared with patients treated with placebo, those treated with selenium but not pentoxifylline reported a higher quality of life. Furthermore, ophthalmic outcomes improved in 61% of patients in the selenium group compared with 36% of those in the placebo group, and only 7% of the selenium group had mild progression of the disease, compared with 26% of those in the placebo group. Selenium is important for the proper functioning of your thyroid gland. In fact, thyroid tissue contains a higher amount of selenium than any other organ in the human body ( 21).

Selenium levels are often low in people living with HIV, possibly because of inadequate intakes (especially in developing countries), excessive losses due to diarrhea, and malabsorption [ 2, 25]. Observational studies have found an association between lower selenium concentrations in people with HIV and an increased risk of cardiomyopathy; death; and, in pregnant women, HIV transmission to offspring and early death of offspring [ 26-30]. Some randomized clinical trials of selenium supplementation in adults with HIV have found that selenium supplementation can reduce the risk of hospitalization and prevent increases of HIV-1 viral load; preventing HIV-1 viral load progression can lead to increases in numbers of CD4 cells, a type of white blood cell that fights infection [ 31, 32]. However, one trial showed that selenium supplementation in pregnant women can prevent early death in infants but has no effects on maternal viral load or CD4 counts [ 33, 34].

In fact, one study showed that asthmatic patients with higher levels of blood selenium had better lung function than those with lower levels ( 30). o Other situation with proven selenium deficiency: 100 micrograms up to a maximum of 400 micrograms daily for a short-term until normalization of laboratory monitoring values.Selenium deficiency is very rare in the United States and Canada, and selenium deficiency in isolation rarely causes overt illness [ 6].

Selenium is a trace mineral and antioxidant, which helps fight free radicals caused by toxins like herbicides, cigarette smoke, and radiation that can lead to cancer and heart disease. Your body needs only a small amount of selenium to make certain enzymes and it is important for overall good health. In proteins, selenium is combined to form antioxidant enzymes and selenoproteins.

Serum selenium levels in the US population: Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1988-1994. Biol Trace Elem Res 2003;91:1-10. [ PubMed abstract] The amount of selenium in a given type of plant-based food depends on the amount of selenium in the soil and several other factors, such as soil pH, amount of organic matter in the soil, and whether the selenium is in a form that is amenable to plant uptake [ 2, 6, 8, 9]. As a result, selenium concentrations in plant-based foods vary widely by geographic location [ 1, 2]. For example, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food Composition Database, Brazil nuts have 544 mcg selenium/ounce, but values from other analyses vary widely [ 10-12]. Therefore, it’s important to consume a varied diet that includes more than one good source of this important mineral.
