Selenium in depth
What it is
Selenium is an essential trace mineral. The body builds it into proteins called selenoproteins, which include antioxidant enzymes and enzymes involved in thyroid hormone metabolism.
Forms you may see on a label
Supplements commonly contain selenomethionine, sodium selenite or sodium selenate. The label names the form and gives the amount of elemental selenium in micrograms.
Where it occurs naturally
Brazil nuts are particularly rich in selenium, although the amount varies widely. Seafood, meat, eggs and grains also contribute, and the selenium in plant foods depends on the selenium content of the soil where they grew.
Safety notes and who should check first
The Tolerable Upper Intake Level for selenium is 400 mcg a day for adults from all sources. Long-term high intake can cause selenosis, with signs such as hair loss, brittle nails, a garlic smell on the breath, a metallic taste, nausea and diarrhoea.
Because selenium also comes from food, keep your total in mind and tell your doctor about any other supplements you take that contain it.
