Description

Selenium is an important trace mineral and an essential nutrient that your body needs. Low levels of selenium can impact the heart, joints, eyes, and the immune, endocrine, and reproductive systems. Because the body cannot make selenium on its own, selenium must come from the diet or supplementation.

Thorne uses one of the most bioavailable forms of selenium – L-selenomethionine – to help the body maintain an optimal selenium level. Supplementing selenium supports normal cell function and differentiation, and healthy heart, connective tissue, eye, liver, and thyroid function.*

What does selenium do for the body?

Selenium is an essential trace mineral that supports normal cell function, immune health, thyroid regulation, and reproductive health. It also plays a role in protecting joints, eyes, and the heart. Since the body cannot produce selenium on its own, it must come from food or supplements. Maintaining optimal selenium levels is important for overall wellness and long-term health.

What is L-selenomethionine and why does Thorne use it?

L-selenomethionine is an organic, highly bioavailable form of selenium naturally found in foods. The body absorbs and retains it more effectively than inorganic selenium forms. Thorne specifically uses L-selenomethionine to ensure you get the most benefit from each dose, helping your body reach and maintain healthy selenium levels more efficiently.

Who should consider taking a selenium supplement?

People with low dietary selenium intake, those with thyroid concerns, individuals with weakened immunity, or anyone whose diet lacks selenium-rich foods may benefit from supplementation. People living in regions with selenium-depleted soil are also at higher risk of deficiency. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement to determine if selenium is right for your needs.

How much selenium should I take daily?

The recommended dietary allowance for selenium in adults is 55 mcg per day. Thorne's supplement is formulated to help you meet or maintain optimal levels without exceeding safe upper limits. It's important not to over-supplement selenium, as high doses can be harmful. Consult your doctor or healthcare provider to determine the right dosage based on your individual health status and diet.
