Selenium affects flu immunity variably
We conducted a 12-week study to explore the effects of selenium supplementation on flu immunity in healthy adults aged 50-64. Participants were divided into groups receiving different selenium doses or no selenium at all.

The results indicated that selenium could have both positive and negative impacts on immunity against the flu vaccine, influenced by the amount and type of selenium consumed. This complexity highlights the need for careful consideration of the benefits and risks associated with selenium supplementation in boosting flu immunity.
