Frequently asked questions
-
The EU Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) for selenium is 55µg per day, established as a baseline to prevent deficiency. Functional and therapeutic use of selenium is commonly studied at higher doses of 100–200µg. At 200µg, this product is formulated for those seeking higher-strength selenium supplementation. It remains within the EU tolerable upper intake level of 300µg per day for adults.
-
L-Selenomethionine is an organic form of selenium bound to the amino acid methionine, which is generally considered to have higher bioavailability and better tissue retention than inorganic forms such as sodium selenite. Health Leads offers both forms — this product uses L-Selenomethionine.
-

However, selenium has a narrow margin between effective and excessive intake. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose, do not combine with other selenium-containing supplements, and consult a healthcare professional if you are unsure.
