We investigated how diphenyl diselenide, a synthetic selenium compound, affects cognitive performance in a rat model of menopause. Female rats underwent ovariectomy, mimicking hormone loss in postmenopausal women, and were treated with diphenyl diselenide daily for 30 days.

The results showed that this treatment improved cognitive abilities, as evidenced by better performance in behavioral tests and prevented the increase of acetylcholinesterase activity.

Overall, diphenyl diselenide appears to hold promise in mitigating cognitive decline linked to menopause.

We investigated whether selenium (Se) intake affects bone health in postmenopausal women. By analyzing data from women over 50, we found a significant relationship between higher dietary selenium consumption and improved bone mineral density (BMD).

Those who consumed more selenium were less likely to have osteoporosis compared to those with lower intake. This study suggests that increasing selenium in our diet could play a role in preventing osteoporosis as we age.

We conducted an observational study to explore the role of selenium in post-menopausal women, focusing on those with hypertension versus those who are normotensive.

By comparing selenium intake through interviews and food recalls, we noted a significant difference in selenium consumption—higher in the healthier group.

This suggests selenium may provide protective benefits against hypertension and related vascular issues, particularly when coupled with factors like stress and passive smoking, which were more pronounced in hypertensive women.

I recently started taking selenium alongside other vitamins and have noticed great improvements; my hair has stopped falling out and my nails are no longer breaking. I feel much more energetic in the mornings! Selenium, a powerful antioxidant, is crucial for women as it enhances conception likelihood, improves emotional well-being during pregnancy, reduces toxic symptoms, accelerates post-childbirth recovery, and helps slow the ageing process and menopause.

We reviewed multiple studies to investigate how E-MHK-0103, a nutraceutical derived from Mytilus galloprovincialis, could help alleviate menopausal symptoms.

The findings suggest that it has positive effects on hot flashes, mood swings, and joint pain, thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties and rich nutrient content, including vitamins, minerals, and selenium.

Importantly, E-MHK-0103 appears to enhance bone health and provides antioxidants, making it an interesting option for women seeking natural relief during menopause.

Selenium maintains antioxidant levels post-menopause
We explored how selenium impacts healthy postmenopausal women, focusing on its role in antioxidant defenses. In our study, we compared 13 premenopausal women with 10 postmenopausal women regarding their selenium levels and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity.

We found that while selenium concentration was similar between both groups, postmenopausal women had significantly higher GPx activity. This suggests that their antioxidant defenses are maintained despite menopause, thanks to adequate dietary selenium intake. Overall, selenium status didn’t decline post-menopause as some may have expected.

Strong antioxidant benefits

Great selenium! My endocrinologist prescribed it to support thyroid health. It enhances multiple body functions: improving immunity, preventing cell damage, neutralising free radicals, and stopping hair loss. The tablets are small and easy to swallow, lasting a long time with minimal consumption. It's especially beneficial for women as it increases conception chances, boosts emotional health during pregnancy, reduces toxicosis risk, hastens post-childbirth recovery, and slows ageing and menopause. I highly recommend it for its excellent value!

Replenishes lost nutrients
I ordered this for my mother, who has stopped menstruating. It is said to replenish the minerals and vitamins the body loses due to menopause, though I cannot confirm this. Overall, it's a nutritional supplement, which means it should not be solely relied upon.
