Product Description

The formula delivers 50 µg selenomethionine, 50 µg sodium selenite, and 100 µg selenium yeast plus vitamin E as an antioxidant. This covers multiple absorption pathways.

What We Like

  • Three selenium forms cover different transport mechanisms
  • Vitamin E provides antioxidant protection
  • Large 100-serving bottle

What We’re Missing

  • Not suitable for those already consuming high selenium from diet or other supplements
  • Capsules contain rice flour
  • Mild sulfurous odor

Usage Recommendation

1 capsule every other day with a fat-containing meal; check selenium levels every six months.
