leaderboard Score 45.0
A whole-food based selenium supplement using bioavailable selenium yeast at a low dose, similar to MegaFood, offering poor value for its selenium content.
This product is virtually identical to the MegaFood Selenium product, offering 50mcg of selenium from S. cerevisiae (selenium yeast) and a 'Nourishing Food Blend.' It shares the same strengths of using a good organic selenium form and a whole-food philosophy, but also the same weakness of a very low dosage relative to its price.
- Uses bioavailable S. cerevisiae (selenium yeast)
- Features a 'Nourishing Food Blend' for added whole-food benefits
- Very low selenium dosage (50mcg) for the price
- Significantly more expensive per mcg of selenium than many competing products
- None specific beyond general advice for selenium supplementation

Categories
Selenium 40.0
This product's low 50mcg selenium dosage combined with its high price means it offers poor value for consumers seeking a potent selenium supplement, despite using a bioavailable organic form.
Goals
Immunity 50.0
Provides a basic level of selenium that supports immunity. However, for more effective immune enhancement, a higher dosage offered by other, more cost-efficient products would be preferable.
General Health 50.0
Offers an essential mineral with some additional food-derived nutrients, contributing to general health. Yet, its high price for a minimal selenium dose limits its overall value as a core general health supplement.
Anti-Aging 45.0
While selenium contributes to antioxidant defense against aging, the 50mcg dose is too low for significant targeted anti-aging effects compared to higher-potency options at better price points.
