Selenium Supplement – with Vitamin E for Immune System, Thyroid & Antioxidant Protection
Our selenium tablets combine 55 µg selenium with 12 mg vitamin E (α-TE) per tablet – both covering 100% of the reference intake. Selenium supports the immune system, contributes to normal thyroid function, and helps protect cells against oxidative stress. Vitamin E enhances this antioxidant effect. * Ideal as a selenium supplement during periods of extra need.
Why choose selenium tablets from POWDR.?
- Immune System*: Selenium contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
- Thyroid Function*: Selenium supports normal thyroid function.
- Antioxidant Protection*: Selenium and Vitamin E help protect cells against oxidative stress.
- Fertility*: Selenium contributes to normal spermatogenesis.
- Synergy with Vitamin E – enhances the body’s antioxidant balance.
- Daily Convenience: 1 tablet per day, 60 tablets per package.
What is in our selenium supplement?
Each tablet provides 55 µg selenium and 12 mg Vitamin E (α-TE). Selenium is an essential trace element, often provided in an organic form (such as selenomethionine) for good bioavailability. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that protects fatty acids in cell membranes. Together, they form a complementary duo for cell protection and immune support.*
| Composition | Per Tablet | %NRV* |
|---|---|---|
| Selenium | 55 µg | 100% |
| Vitamin E (α-TE) | 12 mg | 100% |
* Nutrient Reference Value
EFSA-approved functions of selenium & vitamin E*
- Selenium: contributes to normal immune system function and normal thyroid function; protects cells against oxidative stress; supports normal spermatogenesis.
- Vitamin E: helps protect cells against oxidative stress.
Who are selenium tablets suitable for?
Selenium naturally occurs in nuts (such as Brazil nuts), fish, meat, and whole grains. Intake may vary depending on soil content and diet. A selenium supplement may be relevant for:
- People who want to support their immune system and antioxidant status.
- Supporting normal thyroid function.
- Men aiming to support fertility and sperm quality*.
- Diets low in selenium-rich foods (e.g., little fish/nuts or highly processed foods).
For broader goals, consider combining with zinc (selenium zinc is a popular stack for immune and vitality support) or Vitamin D3 for overall resilience.
Organic vs. inorganic selenium & stacking with zinc
Selenium is available in organic forms (e.g., selenomethionine) and inorganic forms (such as sodium selenite). Organic forms are known for good bioavailability and tolerability. Inorganic forms may be functional but differ in metabolic processing.
- Selenomethionine (organic): often high absorption, suitable for daily use.
- Sodium selenite (inorganic): functional, but generally different absorption kinetics.
Many users choose a selenium and zinc combination (zinc selenium complex) for broad support of the immune system, antioxidant balance, and fertility*. Align dosages and avoid exceeding reference values.
*Health claims per EFSA: Selenium contributes to normal immune system function, normal thyroid function, cell protection against oxidative stress, and normal spermatogenesis. Vitamin E contributes to cell protection against oxidative stress.
Food supplement. Do not exceed recommended dosage. Not a replacement for a varied, balanced diet and healthy lifestyle. Keep out of reach of children.
