Selenium: support for thyroid, immune system, and more

In addition, selenium contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and supports a healthy immune system. It is also vital for maintaining healthy hair and nails.

The selenium content of plant-based foods depends largely on the selenium levels in the soil — and in many parts of Europe, soils are naturally low in this mineral. Animals receive selenium through fortified feed, which is why meat, eggs, and dairy products generally contain higher amounts. Certain situations, such as smoking, can increase selenium requirements.

FormMed offers premium-quality selenium supplements in capsule form — available as high-dose sodium selenite or as part of multi-mineral complexes designed for optimal nutritional support.
