Key Facts
- Selenium is a trace mineral that acts as a cofactor for antioxidant enzymes, helping neutralize free radicals and protect cells from oxidative damage
- Supports thyroid function and healthy aging by enabling the body's natural defense systems
- This formulation uses selenomethionine, an amino acid-bound form with high bioavailability
Ingredients
Selenium (as L-selenomethionine) 200 mcg, hypromellose capsule, microcrystalline cellulose.
Why We Chose This
Selenium is essential for producing selenoproteins — enzymes that defend your cells against oxidative stress, much like how antioxidants in berries protect against cellular damage. Your thyroid also relies on selenium to function properly. Thorne's formulation uses selenomethionine, which your body absorbs and retains more effectively than other forms. At 200 mcg per capsule, this dose aligns with research supporting both antioxidant defense and thyroid health without exceeding safe upper limits.
