We examined how selenium, a trace element known for its role in health, can help those suffering from allergic dermatitis. In our exploration, we focused on how selenium nanoparticles, specifically designed for easier manufacturing and use, can activate the body's natural defenses against allergies.
The study highlighted how selenium impacts allergic reactions by enhancing the production of selenoproteins, which are crucial in regulating inflammation and oxidative stress. We saw that these selenium nanoparticles effectively inhibited mast cell activation. Mast cells are known to release substances that can trigger allergic reactions, so by reducing their activation, the potential for severe allergic responses decreased.
Additionally, through a series of experiments on allergic mouse models, we confirmed the nanoparticles increased selenium levels in the skin, which led to a reduction in inflammatory cells and mast cell activation. The results indicated significant therapeutic benefits, providing a promising avenue for managing allergic reactions.
Ultimately, this study not only demonstrates the innovative use of selenium nanoparticles in treating allergies but also emphasizes the importance of scaling up their production for broader clinical application.

Selenium aids Graves' orbitopathy treatment
We explored how selenium supplementation might help individuals suffering from Graves' orbitopathy, an autoimmune disorder linked to thyroid dysfunction. Our approach involved a systematic review and meta-analysis that assessed results from four randomized controlled trials.
The findings revealed that selenium supplementation had a significant positive impact on various aspects of Graves' orbitopathy. Over a period of six months, patients taking selenium showed a notable reduction in clinical activity scores, which reflect the severity of eye symptoms. Furthermore, their quality of life also improved significantly.
We observed improvements not only in the overall quality of life specific to eye conditions, but also in visual and psychological functioning scores. Additionally, selenium appeared to reduce the width of the eyelids, providing further benefits for eye-related symptoms. However, we found no significant changes in other areas, such as eye bulging or muscle movement abilities.
Importantly, selenium supplementation was deemed safe with minor side effects reported, suggesting it could be a viable option for managing Graves' orbitopathy. While our results are promising, we believe further research is needed to thoroughly validate the long-term effectiveness and safety of selenium treatment for this condition.

The doctor prescribed selenium, so I ordered it along with iodine from Iherb for better quality. I take 200 micrograms of selenium and three drops of iodine. After six months, I had a follow-up ultrasound and the cysts in my mammary glands have disappeared. These cysts formed due to iodine deficiency, so it's essential to replenish selenium first to ensure iodine isn't toxic. I'm happy with the outcome—thank you for the thumbs up!

Selenium aids hair loss in PCOS
We conducted a randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to explore how selenium supplementation may influence hair loss among women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In the study, 64 women aged 18-40 received either 200 μg of selenium daily or a placebo for eight weeks.
After the treatment period, we noticed a significant improvement in hair-related issues for those taking selenium. Specifically, alopecia rates dropped from 40.6% in the selenium group to just 9.4% in the placebo group, showing a strong positive effect of the supplement on hair loss. Acne also improved, with a reduction from 46.9% to 12.5%.
Furthermore, women who took selenium supplements exhibited decreased levels of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), hirsutism, and markers of inflammation and oxidative stress. However, it’s important to note that selenium did not show significant effects on some hormonal profiles and other biomarkers. Overall, our findings suggest that selenium can be beneficial for women with PCOS, particularly regarding hair loss and related symptoms.

We explored the effects of selenium supplementation in patients suffering from Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT), a leading cause of hypothyroidism. By analyzing multiple randomized controlled trials, we aimed to see how selenium might impact thyroid function, particularly focusing on thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels and thyroid antibodies.
Our analysis included results from 35 studies, where we observed that selenium supplementation led to a notable decrease in TSH levels among patients not undergoing thyroid hormone replacement therapy. This suggests that selenium may help manage thyroid function in specific populations.
Additionally, we found that selenium also reduced levels of thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb) and malondialdehyde (MDA), which indicates improved thyroid health and reduced oxidative stress. Interestingly, we observed that these benefits occurred irrespective of whether patients were receiving thyroid hormone therapy.
However, we did not find significant changes in other thyroid hormones or immune markers, indicating that while selenium can be effective in some areas, its benefits may not extend across all measures of thyroid health. Overall, our findings support the safe use of selenium in lowering TSH and certain antibodies in HT patients not on hormone therapy.

Selenium is a potent antioxidant that protects cells from free radicals. Excessive free radical formation due to smoking, alcohol, and stress leads to oxidative stress, damaging healthy cells and contributing to cardiovascular diseases. Studies indicate that a 50% increase in selenium levels in the blood correlates with a 24% reduction in coronary artery disease risk. It's also an anticarcinogen, proving effective against lung and breast cancer, and is vital for normal thyroid gland function, where selenium is most concentrated, playing a key role in hormone metabolism.

We examined how a selenium-containing drug, known as RuSe, targets cancer cells while sparing normal cells. This innovative approach leverages the unique properties of selenium, specifically its electrophilic center, to create oxidative stress within cancer cells. By shuttling electrons from biological electron donors, the drug activates a sequence of events detrimental to cancer survival.
The results were striking; we found that the rate of electron transfer at the selenium site is significantly higher in cancer cells compared to normal cells—1.81 times greater, to be precise. This selective action leads to a lethal effect, with the drug being 14.98 times more harmful to cancer cells than to their healthy counterparts. We observed that the generation of superoxide anions from this process causes DNA damage and triggers the p53 signaling pathway, which enhances the drug's effectiveness in killing cancer cells.
Our findings offer an exciting new avenue for crafting chemotherapeutic agents that can be both efficient and less toxic. By exploiting the special properties of selenium, we open the door to more intelligent and targeted cancer therapies that could reduce side effects for patients.
