This randomized, double-blind, crossover study explored how selenium impacts nausea and overall health in children and adolescents undergoing chemotherapy for leukemia, lymphomas, and solid tumors.
We noted a decrease in nausea and fatigue scores, particularly after a year of selenium supplementation in patients with solid tumors, suggesting it may alleviate some side effects of chemotherapy.
However, there were no significant changes for leukemia patients in nausea, despite improvements in fatigue and physical function. Overall, selenium supplementation shows promise in enhancing the quality of life for young cancer patients.

We evaluated the effects of a novel enteral supplement rich in essential nutrients on cancer patients recovering from surgery. In a clinical trial, twenty patients received this supplement and were monitored for metabolic effects and gastrointestinal tolerance.
Interestingly, we found that the supplement was well tolerated, with no recorded adverse effects like nausea or vomiting. Additionally, nutrient levels, including selenium, showed significant improvements post-surgery, indicating effective absorption. Overall, early gut feeding using this supplement seems to be a promising strategy for cancer patients.

We explored the impact of sodium selenite on nausea in brain tumor patients through a carefully designed study. The treatment involved administering sodium selenite along with other supportive therapies over a period of 4 to 8 weeks.
Notably, 76% of patients reported significant improvements, including reductions in nausea and other troubling symptoms. Additionally, patients showed better overall health markers like increased blood counts.
This suggests that sodium selenite, especially when combined with oxygen therapy, may effectively address nausea and other symptoms in this challenging patient group.

Nausea from taste
5 people found this helpful
This product is undoubtedly authentic. However, it has a strong selenium taste and smell, which makes me nauseated after taking it, leading to unpleasant burping for about two hours. My husband, despite being bigger, dislikes the taste but takes it for immunity; we will consider a different brand next time. Although I understand that selenium supplements can have a taste, this one is overly potent.

I felt sick. Nausea appeared almost immediately after taking this selenium, but the ionic form did not make me feel ill.

A very effective supplement. I take selenium in 1-month courses with kelp, as my endocrinologist recommended. I feel well and it does not cause nausea.

Nausea relief
Before that, I consumed 100 mg from the same manufacturer and found it insufficient. This time I ordered a larger dose, and the effect is felt immediately. I take it at night to combat the nausea I experience during the day after taking it. My sleep, hair, and nails have improved, and I feel more cheerful throughout the day. It's an important and essential trace element for the thyroid gland.

Severe nausea
My spouse took a tablet after breakfast and reported experiencing severe nausea afterwards. I believe that this is a characteristic effect of selenium.
