    What to know

    Selenium is an essential trace mineral used in antioxidant enzymes and thyroid hormone metabolism. Adults need about 60 to 70 mcg a day, and the upper level from all sources in Australia is 400 mcg a day. Australian supplement labels warn not to exceed 150 mcg of selenium a day from supplements. The 100 mcg tablet fits within that. The 200 mcg products do not, so use them only on a health professional's advice.

    Who should check first

    • Taking a multivitamin or NAC with selenium: do not double up.
    • Thyroid conditions: speak to your doctor first.
    • Pregnant or breastfeeding: check with your doctor first.

    How to use and where to buy

    A garlic smell on the breath, brittle nails and hair loss are signs of too much selenium. Follow the label on each product. Shop them online at Supps247 with Australia-wide delivery or click and collect, or browse more from NOW Foods.
