​What Is Selenium? Understanding an Essential Mineral


by Dr. Edward Group DC, NP, DACBN, DCBCN, DABFM
Published on June 9, 2016


Selenium is an essential mineral that functions as an amino acid and also provides antioxidant activity in the body.  Selenium toxicity is a rare condition that results from ingesting great quantities of the element.  Selenium deficiency is a more common malady.  Selenium is necessary for human health because certain enzymes, called selenoproteins, require selenium to function properly.  These enzymes help the body carry out some of its most basic physiological functions.

What Does Selenium Do Within the Body?
Selenium is a key nutrient that supports good health in a number of ways. It contributes to reproductive health[5], thyroid health [6], and can even help decrease DNA damage.[7]

With respect to selenium’s role in reproductive wellness… In males, selenium content is elevated in the testes during puberty. In females, selenium deficiency can lead to infertility.[8] Selenium partners with iodine to support a healthy thyroid. Selenium is found in the enzymes that regulate thyroid hormones.[9] Iodine, also necessary for thyroid health, helps produce these hormones.[10]

5 Signs You’re Experiencing Selenium Deficiency
Selenium has demonstrated the potential to enhance DNA’s ability to repair damage.[11]Specifically, its antioxidant capabilities help combat the free radicals that can impair cellular wellness.

Selenium Benefits and Wellness
At Global Healing Center, we measure wellness by the body’s ability to carry out its natural functions and processes. The most important thing you can do to support your own wellness is to sufficiently nourish your body. That means consuming the right nutrients in the right quantities, and that includes selenium. To help answer the question of how much selenium you need, the National Institute of Health’s Office of Dietary Supplements published this breakdown to help consumers understand exactly how much selenium they should consume.[1]

Life StageSelenium Requirement (in micrograms)
Birth – 6 months  15 mcg
7-12 months         20 mcg
1-3 years               20 mcg
4 – 8 years           30 mcg
9 – 13 years         40 mcg
14 – 18 years        55 mcg
19 – 50 years        55 mcg
51+ years              55 mcg
Pregnancy          60 mcg
Lactation           70 mcg

How much selenium you need isn’t the only factor to consider. You also have to decide the best method to meet your requirements.

Deciding How to Consume SeleniumSelenium is available in a number of foods, and there are many selenium-rich vegetarian options. It’s in enough foods that most people shouldn’t have to make any special dietary adjustments to meet their daily requirement. Selenium is also available in supplement form and there are many selenium supplements on the market. And, as you might suspect, they vary in quality.

Choosing the Right Selenium SupplementThat doesn’t mean that choosing the right selenium supplement has to be a major headache; quite the opposite. In fact, there are really just two things you need to know: the source of the selenium and the concentration. A lot of selenium supplements are synthetic, but there are natural options available. The selenium concentration indicates how much selenium each serving provides.

I recommend doing your own research but if I were to make a suggestion, we just released our new Global Healing Center Selenium supplement that is a whole food selenium product produced from organic mustard seeds. Combining selenium with an iodine supplement, such as Detoxadine®, can be a powerful approach to supporting thyroid health. Of course, consult with your physician before starting any supplements.

Think about your diet, how much selenium do you already consume? Too much selenium can be toxic and there’s no benefit to overdoing it. Ultimately, you must determine what best suits your lifestyle and your goals. If adequate nutrition is important to you, Global Healing Center’s selenium supplement can help ensure you’re getting enough selenium.
