A liquid selenium supplement using the inorganic sodium selenite form, which is less preferred than organic alternatives.
This product provides 100mcg of Selenium in the form of Sodium Selenite. Sodium Selenite is an inorganic form of selenium. While it is absorbable, organic forms like L-selenomethionine or selenium yeast are generally preferred by nutritionists and in research due to their higher bioavailability, better retention in the body, and lower potential for toxicity at higher doses. The liquid form may offer flexibility in dosing for some users.
- Liquid form allows for flexible dosing and may be easier to consume for some
- Provides a moderate dose of selenium (100mcg)
- Uses Sodium Selenite, an inorganic and less bioavailable form of selenium
- Higher price per serving compared to many superior alternatives
- Inorganic selenium forms like sodium selenite may have a narrower therapeutic window compared to organic forms, potentially increasing risk of toxicity if dosage is not carefully managed

Categories
Selenium 50.0
While containing selenium at a reasonable dosage, the reliance on Sodium Selenite as the sole form significantly lowers its appeal. Organic forms found in many alternatives are generally more effective and safer for long-term supplementation.
Goals
Immunity 55.0
Selenium does support immune function due to its role in selenoproteins. However, the use of sodium selenite may limit its efficacy compared to more bioavailable organic forms for optimal immune support.
Anti-Aging 55.0
Selenium's antioxidant properties contribute to anti-aging effects. However, the less bioavailable sodium selenite may not deliver its full potential compared to organic forms that are better integrated into antioxidant enzymes.
Metabolism Boost 55.0
Selenium is vital for thyroid hormone production, which regulates metabolism. While present, the inorganic form might not be as efficiently utilized for this metabolic pathway as organic forms.
