Selenium is an essential trace nutrient that plays a vital role in supporting overall health. Research shows that low selenium status is associated with reduced cardiovascular wellness, compromised antioxidant defenses, and challenges related to cellular health. Selenium-containing proteins are involved in several important biological functions, including antioxidant support, thyroid hormone metabolism, immune system function, and normal reproductive health. Organic forms of selenium, such as L-(+)-selenomethionine, are recognized for their safety and effectiveness as dietary sources. Typical recommended daily intake for selenium ranges from 50–200 mcg per day. Current scientific discussions also explore higher, non-nutritional levels for specific health needs, and one emerging area of interest is the use of nutrient bioavailability enhancers to help support optimal selenium utilization in the body.
