This study explored how selenium intake relates to lung function in people with asthma. We analyzed data from 4,541 participants in a national survey using various statistical methods. Our findings showed a positive connection between higher selenium intake and better lung function, particularly in forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volume. We noted that to potentially enhance respiratory health, asthma patients could benefit from consuming between 137.65 mcg and 200 mcg of selenium daily, while also being cautious of any adverse effects.

Selenium may benefit asthma treatment
We explored the potential benefits of organic selenium (Pro-Se) compared to inorganic selenium (IOSe) in treating asthma in mice exposed to ovalbumin. After oral administration, we noticed that Pro-Se significantly increased selenium levels and improved antioxidant enzyme activity. Additionally, it reduced levels of pro-inflammatory markers like TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta, while influencing NF-kB activation. This study suggests that organic selenium could be a promising new treatment for childhood asthma, though this needs further research to confirm its effectiveness in humans.

We aimed to investigate whether a diet rich in selenium could alleviate the health impacts of chronic arsenic exposure in Bangladesh. In a carefully controlled trial involving 405 participants, those consuming selenium-enriched lentils showed a significant reduction in asthma and allergy symptoms compared to those on a low-selenium diet.
The results revealed higher levels of arsenic excretion and improved overall health indicators in the selenium group. This suggests that selenium not only helps with arsenic detoxification but also potentially offers relief from asthma.

Selenium may protect against cancer and reduce the risk of miscarriage. It could also relieve asthma symptoms and enhance the immune system to combat infections. Furthermore, it aids in sperm production and improves semen quality, addressing selenium deficiency's negative effects on fertility.

Prenatal selenium exposure and allergies
We aimed to understand how prenatal exposure to selenium, alongside mercury and manganese, affects the risk of allergic diseases in children up to three years old.
Using data from nearly 95,000 mother-infant pairs from the Japan Environment and Children's Study, we discovered that selenium might help lower the risk of atopic dermatitis, food allergies, allergic rhinitis, and other allergic conditions, particularly when mercury exposure is low.
This suggests that maintaining a healthy level of selenium during pregnancy may be beneficial for children's health regarding allergies.

We evaluated the effectiveness of supplements containing vitamin D, selenium, and other trace elements in patients suffering from moderate to severe asthma. In a clinical trial with 70 participants, we administered either Asmavit syrup or vitamin D3 drops alongside regular asthma treatment for two months.
While both groups showed improvement in lung function and quality of life, we found no significant difference in cytokine levels after treatment. Interestingly, higher selenium and folic acid levels before treatment linked to disease severity. Overall, our findings point to vitamin D as a valuable addition to standard asthma therapies.

Reduces asthma symptoms
I take selenium annually for a month, following my endocrinologist's advice. It's essential to combine it with zinc. Selenium benefits the thyroid by regulating reactive oxygen species, shielding it from antibodies that may cause inflammation. This mineral is powerful in combating oxidative stress, enhancing immune health, supporting the thyroid, and notably reducing asthma symptoms.

Super help to the body! Acts as a strong antioxidant. It may lower the risk of certain cancers and protect against heart disease while helping to prevent mental decline. Additionally, it may reduce asthma symptoms and boost the immune system. It's important for thyroid health and, when combined with zinc, helps prevent colds.

We explored the levels of Selenium, Zinc, and total antioxidants in Nigerian children aged 2-15 with asthma compared to their non-asthmatic peers. The results showed that the children with asthma had significantly lower levels of these important nutrients.
While Selenium levels were associated with the severity of asthma, they did not appear to relate to how well symptoms were controlled. This indicates that while supplementation might improve overall health, it may not directly enhance asthma symptom management for these children.

We assessed the effects of maternal selenium levels during pregnancy on childhood respiratory health, particularly focusing on asthma and wheezing risks in children. Measuring selenium in the blood of 861 mothers, we followed their children from birth to age three.
Our findings reveal that while higher maternal selenium may lower the chances of wheezing by age one and three, it does not appear to prevent asthma, allergic rhinitis, or atopic dermatitis. Thus, selenium may help with wheezing but not with all asthma-related conditions.
