FAQ
- What is selenium and what does it do in the body?
Selenium is an essential trace mineral that supports many important biological processes. It is a component of several antioxidant enzymes that help protect cells from oxidative stress and plays a role in immune function, thyroid hormone metabolism, and overall cellular health. - How does selenium support thyroid health?
The thyroid contains one of the highest concentrations of selenium in the body. Selenium is required for enzymes that help convert the thyroid hormone T4 into its active form, T3, and supports antioxidant defenses that help maintain healthy thyroid function. - What's the difference between selenomethionine and sodium selenite?
Selenomethionine is an organic form of selenium in which selenium is bound to the amino acid methionine, while sodium selenite is an inorganic form. Both provide selenium, but selenomethionine is generally absorbed and retained more efficiently by the body, making it a common choice for dietary supplements. - Is Swanson Selenium suitable for special diets?
Swanson Selenium is non-GMO and gluten free. However, it is not dairy free or suitable for vegan or vegetarian diets because the capsule contains gelatin. Always review the product label for the most current ingredient and allergen information.
