Our family has been taking this product for years. Works excellent during flu/cold season. When we feel something coming on, we take a little extra, and it works like a charm. We have been able to keep our immune system in good shape so that even if we do catch something, it's not as bad as if we weren't taking anything at all. Definitely should be a staple in everyone's daily routine.

Selenium Does The Body Good
Selenium is a key nutrient for everyone but especially those with an underactive thyroid. And NOW is a great brand.

Love National Nutrition and this selenium
I have a very long-time friend who is extremely knowledgeable and way above average healthy and strong 78-year-old male friend who both guided and advised me of all the initial order I placed with National Nutrition which I so appreciated as he has dealt with your nutrition company products for several years and has always been very pleased with the quality, great prices and ethical practices and service of your great company which from my observation seems to be on an enthusiastic mission to motivate as many receptive individuals to want to become healthier and more informed. Many thanks and much appreciation for existing and having your caring attitude and great knowledge and sources for customers to increase awareness and better health. This Selenium is an excellent product.
Sincerely,
Rick Leduc
newly pleased customer.

I like NOW Products
If I have a choice, I like to buy NOW products which I have taken for years and feel it is a good brand. I take one pill a day and 200mg is a good standard dosage.
Selenium regulates fat metabolism by controlling the production of thyroid hormone ... Selenium is an important trace mineral that people may be deficient in because they eat food from areas where the selenium content of the soil is low. Selenium’s most important function is as an antioxidant where it protects the cell from damage and prevents the oxidation of other vitamins and nutrients. It does this by neutralizing free radicals.
They are unstable molecules that in their bid to become more stable must bump into healthy cells and cause damage. Free radicals contribute to cardiovascular disease by producing oxidized LDL cholesterol, which causes atherosclerotic plaques.
Selenium’s antioxidant properties also help in healthy immune function and healthy cell growth. It is believed to be an anti-aging vitamin because as an antioxidant it protects the body against environmental pollutants other substances that and lead to aging.
Selenium regulates fat metabolism by controlling the production of thyroid hormone. Selenium and Vitamin E act together to produce the antibodies which are important for protecting the body from infections. Selenium supplementation is particularly important for men because selenium concentrates in the testicles and is lost through seminal fluid. Selenium, Vitamin E and zinc have been shown to reduce prostate inflammation. Selenium has been used to treat many conditions including male infertility, asthma, arthritis, cataracts, AIDS, hypothyroidism, alcoholic cirrhosis and high blood pressure.
Selenium supplements are available in tablet or capsule form. Selenium is often grown on yeast and may not be suitable for those who are sensitive to yeast or have a tendency towards candida infections. Selenomethionine is another highly active form of selenium that does not contain yeast. Selenium works well with vitamin E, vitamin C, and beta-carotene and can often be found in a complex with these other antioxidants.
Selenium levels may be decreased by high dose corticosteroid therapy (prednisone).
