FAQ
- What is selenium and what does it do?
Selenium is an essential trace mineral that plays an important role in overall health. It is a component of specialized proteins called selenoproteins, which help support antioxidant activity, thyroid hormone metabolism, and normal immune function. Because the body cannot produce selenium on its own, it must be obtained through food or dietary supplements. - How much selenium should I take daily?
The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for selenium is 55 mcg per day for most healthy adults. Individual selenium needs may vary based on age, diet, and life stage. Many people can meet their selenium needs through a balanced diet, while others may choose a supplement to help fill nutritional gaps. Consult your healthcare provider before beginning any supplement regimen. - What foods are naturally high in selenium?
Selenium is found in a variety of foods, including Brazil nuts, seafood, meat, poultry, eggs, and whole grains. The amount of selenium in plant-based foods can vary depending on the selenium content of the soil in which they are grown. As a result, dietary intake may differ from one region to another. - Who should consider taking a selenium supplement?
A selenium supplement may be beneficial for individuals who do not consistently consume selenium-rich foods or who are looking to support their daily selenium intake. Selenium supplements can help provide a convenient source of this essential mineral as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle. - What makes Swanson Albion® Selenium unique?
Swanson Albion® Selenium delivers 200 mcg of selenium from Albion selenium glycinate, a premium amino acid-chelated form designed to support optimal absorption and bioavailability. Unlike standard selenium supplements, this formula binds selenium to glycine, helping protect the mineral during digestion and promoting efficient utilization by the body. - Is Swanson Albion® Selenium suitable for special diets?
Yes. Swanson Albion® Selenium is formulated to fit a variety of dietary preferences and lifestyles. This product is vegan and vegetarian friendly, non-GMO, halal, gluten free, and dairy free.
