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.

Selenium is very comfortable for me—just dry selenium. This form does not cause discomfort, nausea, or other unwanted side effects. Excellent quality from Solgar. I take a dosage of 200mcg as prescribed by my doctor, followed by a break, and after 6-8 months, I switch to a maintenance dosage of 100mcg along with Vitamin E, also from Solgar. I have noticed positive results. It is a standard tablet, rather than a capsule, and can be divided easily.

The quality of the vitamins is good. There is a slight smell and taste, but when taken, they do not cause nausea or discomfort.
