10 best selenium supplements image

In this expert review, I have listed the 10 best selenium supplements for you. Selenium is usually overlooked when discussing essential elements – which is unfortunate considering the remarkable benefits it poses. So, you may not find this information elsewhere. But don’t worry, I’m here to help you.

Selenium is a naturally occurring mineral found in the soil. Certain foods, such as seafood, brown rice, whole grains, brazil nuts, and sunflower seeds also contain a natural form of selenium. Although the body largely requires selenium for proper functioning, especially the thyroid and immune system, research has shown no record of its natural production by the body.  

Selenium supplement is used in treating selenium deficiency – and hey, it’s easy to get this. What’s more, it’s useful in treating Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (an autoimmune disease) and regulating high cholesterol levels  as a means of alternative medicine. 

Take caution not to use selenium supplements outside your physician’s instruction! Due to the different dosages required for varying disease conditions and prevention, it is not safe to abuse this supplement. 

Below, we’ll discuss the best 10 selenium supplements available in the market and their specific benefits. 

NOW Food EpiCor Plus Immunity

Asides being a selenium supplement product, NOW food EpiCor plus immunity also contains Zinc, Vitamin D3, and C. This extra fortification is necessary in supplying an additional boost to the body’s immune response. 

This product is made from Saccharomyces cerevisiae; which research has shown to support the body’s immune response in the right way at the right time. It is also known to reduce inflammation and heighten proprietary response to infections. 

There is still ongoing research on this product, but it is known that EpiCor is one of the best selenium supplements for immune support.

NOW Foods Selenium (yeast free)

The same company makes this brand of selenium supplement as EpiCor.

It is best suited for people who are allergic to gluten, soy, and yeast and still need a boost for other trace elements. It works well in maintaining a healthy immune system balance and offers support for balancing thyroid hormone and cell activity.   

Klaire Labs Seleno Met

Most selenium supplements usually come in capsule form. Compared to other types of selenium supplement, Klaire Labs Seleno Met has shown better rates of absorption – because of this bonus point, it rates higher on product description websites. 

Seleno Met also contains L-selenomethionine, which is acknowledged by nutritionists in helping the inhibition of fats and lipids oxidation. 

This form of selenium supplement is known to have little to no amounts of common allergens and is considered relatively safe. 

Pure Encapsulations Selenomethionine

This particular brand is famous among healthcare professionals. Here’s why.

Pure encapsulations selenomethionine (a product of Pure Encapsulations) supports antioxidant defenses, improves blood flow and boosts cellular health and immune function. It is also gluten-free and can be used by those on vegan and vegetarian diets – that’s a lot of benefits!

This supplement brand serves as storage for selenium. It is incorporated into protein and therefore has a slow but sustained release over time.

Bluebonnet Selenium

This form of selenium supplement contains yeast-free selenomethionine and is available in vegetarian capsules. Additionally, this form makes it easy to assimilate and absorb. 

Bluebonnet selenium is also suitable for people on a vegan and vegetarian diet because it does not contain milk, egg, crustacean shellfish, or soybeans – all of which are found in some forms of selenium supplement. 

This product is quite common and can be found in several specialty and grocery stores.  

Pure Encapsulations Nutrient 950 with NAC

This selenium product, like NOW Foods EpiCor Plus Immunity, contains selenomethionine, vitamin B, C and D, and a bonus of N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC). 

NAC is required by the body to make glutathione – which is a master antioxidant. It helps in detoxification and regenerates cells damaged by oxidation. It also catalyzes the absorption of vitamins C and E. 

This brand of selenium supplement is a high nutrient, multi-mineral, and multi-nutrient trace element supplement. Its high point is that it is well tolerated by sensitive individuals, and also provides nutritional support to all systems of the body.

Pure Encapsulations SP ultimate

This selenium product is listed in Amazon as ‘a powerful support for healthy urinary and prostate function’ – at the very least, you should trust Amazon. 

SP ultimate contains a pure blend of research-based dietary supplements.  It contains extracts from pomegranate, which is known to provide antioxidant support and in boosting healthy prostate cell function. 

This brand of selenium supplement contains the least amount of selenium per serving or pill amongst the supplements in this list; due to this little detail, it takes a while to overdose on this product. 

Thorne Trace Minerals

According to the Australian Government Department of Health, this brand of supplements is specifically useful for prostate health.

It contains selenomethionine, molybdenum, chromium, boron, manganese, and zinc in appropriate amounts for use by the body. It is particularly common among athletes and high-performance sportspeople because of the presence of these trace elements, which are often deficient in everyday diet. 

Vital Nutrients Multi-nutrients

You will most likely find products from Vital Nutrients prescribed by your physician because they are a trusted brand in the medical field. 

Vital nutrients multi-nutrients (with no iron or iodine), is produced in an easy-to-chew vegetarian capsule. It contains potent antioxidants and is an excellent choice for multivitamins and trace elements, especially selenium. Because it does not contain iron and iodine, it is suitable for people who do not need supplements for these elements. 

Vital Nutrients Minimal and Essential

This product is a multivitamin. It contains selenium, vitamin A, B12, C, and D, and is also produced in a chewable vegetarian capsule and delivers 125 mcg of selenium per pill.

The combination of elements in this multivitamin makes it suitable for fats and protein metabolism. It also implements maintenance of muscle tone in the GI tract and contains powerful antioxidants that support healthy nerve cells. 

Bottom line

Hey, this must make you feel pretty confident about your supplement choice! Of course, there are others, but I believe these 10 best selenium supplements list will help you in deciding which to go for. Just before you drop this article and make a choice, remember to get your doctor’s opinion.
