Can children and toddlers take Selenium?
This product is formulated as a 200 mcg adult daily serving. Because selenium has a narrower margin between an adequate and an excessive intake than most nutrients, and children's tolerable upper limits are significantly lower than this serving size, we recommend talking with your child's healthcare provider before giving this product to a child, and following their guidance on dosing.
Does this product contain yeast?
Our Selenium is not sourced from yeast. It is L-selenomethionine, which is an amino acid that contains selenium.
What form of selenium is used in Go Nutrients Selenium, and why?

What are the key benefits of taking Selenium?
Go Nutrients Selenium supports the body's antioxidant defenses: selenium is a required cofactor for glutathione peroxidase, an enzyme that helps protect cells from oxidative stress. It also supports the deiodinase enzymes involved in converting T4 to active T3, and contributes to normal immune cell function. Our L-selenomethionine form is designed for efficient absorption and retention in the body compared with inorganic selenium sources.
How many servings does one bottle of Selenium contain?
Each bottle contains 100 servings, with each serving providing 200 mcg of L-Selenomethionine.
