I took selenium to maintain thyroid health. Despite hypothyroidism, I experienced periods of weakness and a disordered cycle. After taking selenium for about 2 months, I noticed my cycle has levelled off and the drowsiness has passed. I associate my cheerfulness with spring's arrival. Additionally, my cycle became painless and without premenstrual syndrome. I will continue taking it and update the review if other symptoms appear. The tablets are small, round, slightly convex, and easy to swallow with no aftertaste.

This study explored how a selenium-containing compound, SeI, impacts depression-like behavior in mice. During behavioral tests, this compound reduced immobility, signaling an antidepressant-like effect without affecting movement.

Notably, blocking specific serotonin receptors changed the results, indicating the serotonergic system's involvement. With a low potential for side effects, SeI shows promise for developing new treatments for major depressive disorder (MDD).

However, it's important to note this research was conducted in mice, so effects in humans remain unconfirmed.

We explored the use of intraruminal devices containing zinc oxide, designed to prevent facial eczema in sheep while also addressing trace element deficiencies. Specifically, we looked at how adding selenium and cobalt to these devices might improve the health of pregnant ewes by monitoring changes in blood selenium and serum Vitamin B12 levels.

The devices we tested included 16.4 mg of selenium, in the form of sodium selenate, and 20.4 mg of cobalt, provided as cobalt sulfate. Our findings revealed that these devices were effective in raising and sustaining higher blood selenium levels for at least 84 days, with notable increases in serum Vitamin B12 for up to 42 days.

This dual action means that the devices not only offer protection against facial eczema but also help prevent trace element deficiencies in sheep, demonstrating a valuable approach for improving overall animal health.

I get eczema on my hands from heavy metals like nuts and cocoa. I had trouble with my hand eczema for more than a month, but after starting selenium, my fingers returned to their original clean state within a few days, much to my family’s surprise! Selenium aids detoxification and the excretion of heavy metals such as mercury, cadmium, lead, and arsenic. It has a strong antioxidant effect that protects blood vessels and skin from oxidative damage. I take 1-2 pills a day and plan to continue.

Fine! I appreciated Selenium from this company immensely; my family and I enjoy it together. Alongside, we take Omega and D3 with K2, as well as Yodomarin and Aevit from Russian manufacturers. Regarding efficacy, I was utterly exhausted for a long period, lying in bed without the strength or motivation for daily chores. Now, I wake up refreshed and am active throughout the day! After suffering from migraines for the past four years, particularly with weather changes, I found relief once I introduced Selenium and D3K2. I'm also pleased to say hangovers are a thing of the past; I wake up fresher and more cheerful than ever. I highly recommend staying active and healthy!

We delved into the potential of a synthetic organic selenium compound, known as p,p'-methoxyl-diphenyl diselenide, or (MeOPhSe), to combat candidiasis, particularly focusing on its effects on Candida krusei. This research is important because Candida species can lead to both mild and serious infections, and finding effective treatments is crucial.

Our study demonstrated that (MeOPhSe) is non-toxic to human cells, such as cervical epithelial and fibroblastic cells, and has a notable antifungal effect. We observed that it inhibited the growth of C. krusei in a dose-dependent manner, altering its growth pattern and extending the length of its lag phase. Most significantly, we found that this compound reduced the ability of both C. krusei and C. albicans to adhere to human cells, a critical step in the infection process.

The reductions we measured were substantial: C. krusei adherence dropped by 37.24%, while C. albicans showed a 32.84% reduction, both being statistically significant. Interestingly, both species responded similarly to (MeOPhSe), highlighting its potential as a broad-spectrum antifungal agent against various Candida infections.

Overall, our findings suggest that (MeOPhSe) holds promise as an antifungal treatment targeting the virulence factors of different Candida species, paving the way for new treatment options in battling candidiasis.

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.

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.

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.

We explored the impact of selenium nanoparticles, known for their potential anti-cancer properties, on aggressive prostate cancer cells, specifically the PC-3 line. The study focused on understanding how sub-toxic levels of selenium functionalized nanoparticles affect cell proliferation and their intracellular behavior.

By utilizing advanced imaging techniques and careful cryopreparation, we aimed to preserve the integrity of the cancer cells while analyzing the distribution of these nanoparticles within them. Our findings revealed that nanoparticles coated with bovine serum albumin (BSA) reduced the migration capability of the cancer cells more effectively than those coated with chitosan.

This difference may be attributed to the BSA coating's ability to prevent harmful interactions with the cell membranes, which in turn limits the generation of reactive oxygen species that can damage cells. Most intriguingly, we observed that these selenium nanoparticles localized in both the mitochondria and lysosome-related organelles within the cells. The presence of nanoparticles in the mitochondria might explain the significant reduction in the PC-3 cells' ability to proliferate.

Overall, our investigation highlights the promising role selenium nanoparticles can play in cancer treatment strategies, providing valuable insights for further research into their cytotoxic mechanisms against prostate cancer.

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.
