What is Selenium?

Selenium or Selenium (symbol: Se, atomic number: 34) is chemically a so-called gray nonmetal but in nutrition it falls under the minerals.

Where is Selenium in it?

Important sources include whole grain bread, garlic, nuts, bran, vegetables and milk.

Multivitamins also contain selenium, but the dose is sometimes very low. You can then use a separate selenium supplement alongside it.

Recommended amount

The recommended amount for adults is 70 mcg per day. Most selenium products contain 100 or 200 mcg. The safe upper limit, according to the EFSA (the European Food Safety Authority), is 300 mcg.

Plant selenium from mustard seed

The mustard plant is well able to absorb selenium from the soil, and a high concentration of selenium can be found in mustard seeds.

Increasingly, supplements are using this natural source. Using the filter 'Selenium from mustard seed' you can select such products.

Selenium is an essential mineral for the thyroid gland along with iodine.

Another common combination is together with Vitamin E. Selenium and vitamin E work together in the body as antioxidants
