Description

Selenium 2.5mg Capsule is a focused, single-ingredient supplement formulated with Sodium Selenite in a convenient vegan capsule. Designed for daily nutritional support, it helps promote antioxidant defence, immune function, thyroid health, and cellular protection — without unnecessary fillers or additives.

Each capsule contains 2.5 mg Selenium in a plant-based capsule shell, ensuring clean, simple, and effective supplementation.

Who May Benefit

Selenium 2.5mg Capsule is suitable for adults who wish to support:

• Immune system function and resilience
• Thyroid health and hormone regulation
• Antioxidant protection and cellular defense
• DNA repair and genomic stability
• Overall metabolic and cardiovascular health

It may be especially helpful for individuals with selenium-deficient diets, those undergoing or recovering from illness, or those seeking additional antioxidant and cellular support.

Uses

• Supports antioxidant activity by neutralising free radicals and reducing oxidative stress
• Promotes thyroid hormone metabolism and function
• Supports immune response and inflammatory regulation
• Aids in DNA synthesis and protection against cellular damage
• May support cancer-related therapy by enhancing chemosensitivity to cytostatic drugs and by downregulating DNA repair pathways that may otherwise promote tumour cell survival
• Has been investigated in clinical trials for use alongside chemotherapy in gynaecologic, prostate, and other therapy-resistant cancers, demonstrating tolerability and potential antitumour effects
• In a controlled clinical trial, sodium selenite was studied as a chemopreventive agent for prostate cancer progression, with subjects supplementing at high doses for an average of 12 months — blood chemistry and haematology results remained within normal limits throughout
• May assist in conditions such as thyroid disorders, compromised immune function, oxidative stress-related conditions, cardiovascular disease, and cancer support

Composition

• Sodium Selenite (1%): 475mg
• Magnesium Stearate: 25mg
• Vegan Capsule Shell

Directions

Take 1 capsule daily, with or without food, or as directed by a healthcare professional.

Do not exceed the recommended dosage unless advised.

Safety

• Sodium selenite at the recommended dose is generally well tolerated when used as directed
• The established No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for selenium is 400 µg/day, with a corresponding plasma selenium level of 1000 ng/ml, as referenced in the Dietary Reference Intakes (National Academy Press)
• In clinical research, doses of up to 3200 µg/day of selenized yeast were administered over 12 months; while some participants reported minor selenium-related symptoms, no serious toxicities were observed and all liver function, kidney function, and haematology results remained within normal limits
• Do not exceed the stated dose, as excessive selenium intake beyond established safe levels may lead to selenosis
• Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless advised by a healthcare professional
• Individuals with thyroid conditions, autoimmune disorders, or those on chemotherapy or other medications should consult a healthcare provider before use
• Not suitable for children unless under medical supervision

Care

• Store in a cool, dark, dry place, away from moisture and light
• Keep tightly closed when not in use
• Keep out of reach of children
