What We Like

  • Very long supply per bottle
  • Organic selenium form with good bioavailability
  • Non-GMO Project Verified

What We’re Missing

  • No vitamin E combination despite synergistic effect
  • 200 mcg may be too much for smaller individuals

Usage Recommendation

1 capsule every other day with a meal when diet is low in Brazil nuts or fish. Monitor blood levels regularly.
