We evaluated how a specific mix of vitamins and minerals, including selenium, influences recurrent colds in a group of 192 patients over 16 weeks. This randomized, placebo-controlled study showed that those receiving the micronutrient combination experienced a greater improvement in cold symptoms compared to the placebo group.
Notably, individuals below 45 reported fewer job absences due to colds. Overall, vitamin and mineral levels increased significantly for those on the treatment, suggesting that micronutrients may enhance immune defense and reduce the severity of common colds. However, the specific role of selenium in these improvements needs more exploration.

We explored how a combination of vitamins and minerals, including selenium, impacts the frequency and severity of common colds in patients prone to upper respiratory infections. In a rigorous 16-week trial involving 192 participants, we found that those receiving the micronutrient blend reported significant improvements in their cold symptoms compared to the placebo group.
Specifically, symptoms improved more in individuals with severe colds, and younger patients had fewer work absences due to illness. Overall, the study supports the beneficial role of micronutrients like selenium in boosting immune defenses against recurrent colds.

After purchasing this product, I heard it works well with NAC to combat cold germs and prevent catching a cold. I take it every two days, and perhaps that's why I don't catch a cold even when others around me are affected!

No cold symptoms
This supplement has been a great boost for my immune system. I was advised to take it to enhance my immune health, and since starting it, I have not experienced any cold or flu symptoms, especially while maintaining a non-processed, sugar-free diet.

Stopped catching colds
I bought this product to reduce shedding and remedy colds. Previously, I caught a cold monthly, but since starting this supplement six months ago, I have stopped getting colds! I suspect additional measures I am taking contribute as well, but I will definitely continue using this supplement. The unique smell upon opening does not bother me when I take it.

Quick healing

This selenium is small and easy to take, although it has a slight odour. I prefer to drink it on my days off. I feel like I recover quickly, even when I take it at the first signs of a cold. If you can overlook the smell, I would recommend taking it daily.

Symptom relief
2 people found this helpful
I find this selenium very easy to take. I consume 200 mcg daily as recommended. Combined with NAC, it helps produce glutathione peroxidase. If taken at night when I'm about to catch a cold, it helps me feel fine by morning. I ensure my daily intake doesn’t exceed 200 mcg, as some NACs also have selenium.

Less frequent colds

My sister, who is a nurse, recommended I take one selenium capsule a day. I opted to take one capsule once a week while also taking vitamin C, zinc, and vitamin D. I have noticed a significant reduction in how often I catch colds.

Cold reduction

I’ve found this selenium from IHerb to be the best, especially since I have a goitre and combine it with iodine. It has lifted my depression and improved my overall health. I have noticed a marked decrease in colds. I take 200 mcg daily, with my daughter taking 100 mcg in the morning with breakfast. An essential daily intake!
