Information:
Selenium should be part of a well-balanced vitamin-mineral regimen.
Protection of long term health has yet to be proven. Experimental
studies are trying to prove selenium plays a big part as an
"antioxidant nutrient" to help protect against damaging
"free radicals." Organic forms (from foods or brewer's
yeast) are less toxic than inorganic sodium selenite. No one is sure
of the correct amount of selenium to be ingested each day. People
who eat a balanced diet of food grown in the western United States
probably get enough selenium from food.
